How to choose a cycling kit
A cycling kit combines garments designed to be worn together on the bike. Before choosing, consider the season, the length of your rides and your riding position. This category includes options from Evolution Bikes, Velò, Alé, Pissei and Castelli: check each model's product details to see which garments are included.
To find your way through the options, start with the type of clothing you prefer:
- Summer kit: suitable for rides in warm weather. Consider the breathability, fit and seat pad features listed in the product details.
- Winter kit: choose with temperature, wind and riding intensity in mind. Check the protection offered by each garment and the room available for a base layer.
- Skinsuit: combines the upper and lower sections in a single garment. Pay close attention to torso length and freedom of movement.
You can compare the Evolution Bikes 2026 Summer Kit with the Evolution Bikes 2026 Winter Kit. If you are looking for a single garment, see the product details for the Castelli Sanremo S Speed Suit Skinsuit to check its features.
Size, materials and comfort in the saddle
Your usual size is a starting point. Compare your measurements with the brand's guide, where available: fit can vary between brands and models. The kit should follow your body without restricting your breathing or pulling across your shoulders when you adopt your riding position.
For materials, read the composition and intended use. Breathability and stretch help during exertion; in cold weather, heat retention matters too. Assess the seat pad according to your needs and follow the washing instructions to care for the garments.
To manage changes in temperature, you can add a cycling base layer. Evolution Bikes has been a family-run shop near Caserta since 1974, with three generations of experience: ask us for advice in store or via chat to choose the right kit for your rides.
Frequently asked questions
What does a cycling kit include?
It generally combines a jersey with shorts or bib shorts. The contents vary: always check the garments included in the product details.
What is the difference between a summer and winter kit?
A summer kit prioritises low weight and breathability. A winter kit offers greater coverage and thermal protection, with features to check for each model.
How do I choose my cycling kit size?
Compare your measurements with the brand's size guide, where available. Assess the fit in your riding position: the garment should fit closely without feeling tight or restricting movement.
What is the difference between a skinsuit and a jersey and bib shorts kit?
A skinsuit combines the upper and lower sections in a single garment. A separate kit lets you wear and combine the garments individually too.
Should you wear underwear beneath padded bib shorts?
The seat pad is normally worn against the skin. Underwear can crease and increase chafing while riding.
