Men's Road Cycling Clothing & Apparel

A complete road kit starts with a jersey and shorts or bib shorts as the foundation, then adds a base layer, gloves, and shoes. Layer in a jacket or vest and tights as the seasons turn. Build it as a system and each piece works with the next.

Race or PRO fits run second-skin for aerodynamics and efficiency, ideal for fast training and events. Performance fits stay close but a touch more forgiving for everyday miles, and classic fits leave the most room for comfort-focused riders. Choose by how aggressively you ride and what feels right over your typical distance; the Size & Fit Guide can help you lock it in.

As a rough guide: above 75°F, a lightweight short-sleeve jersey and shorts; 60 to 75°F, add a packable vest; 45 to 60°F, a thermal jersey with a wind jacket plus knee or leg warmers; below 45°F, layer a thermal base layer, full tights, and an insulated shell. Dress for the coldest part of the ride and shed layers as you warm up.

Bib shorts remove the waistband and keep the chamois centered for all-day comfort, which is why most road riders prefer them on longer efforts. Regular shorts prioritize quick on-and-off and suit indoor sessions and short rides. Browse both in Shorts & Bib Shorts.

For wet rides, start with a wicking base layer and top with a seam-sealed waterproof (WxB) jacket, venting on climbs to manage moisture. For cold, build from a thermal base layer up through a thermal jersey, a windproof shell, and full tights, then seal the extremities with warm gloves and socks.

Across most road categories you'll see three tiers. Quest is the comfortable, value-focused everyday line; Attack steps up to closer-fitting, lighter, race-ready gear; PRO is the top tier with the most aero fits and premium fabrics. Picking a tier in one category gives you a good sense of the fit and intent across the rest of your kit.

A solid starter kit is a Quest-level jersey and bib shorts, a pair of gloves, and clipless shoes once you're ready to commit. The Quest line is built to be comfortable and approachable while still performing, so it's a common starting point before riders move up to Attack or PRO.
