ALÉ have been creating stylish high-performance women’s cycling kits longer than most people. From world tour riders all the way to grassroots, their kits are stylish, functional and made for riders who want the best and most comfortable kit available. Nadezhda took a look at their latest options for women.
Women’s cycling kit has different requirements to men, and thankfully brands are finally accepting this. Danish brand GripGrib excel at creating high-performance cycling clothing and accessories – which is why Kristi thought it was time to take a closer look at how they create style and performance in harmony
Scicon make some of the most stylish, high performance sunglasses in the world – just ask Tadejcar. And, whilst Kristi may not be leading the world peloton, she also knows that quality counts – which is why she recently tested the Scicon Aerostorm sunglasses for herself.
When it comes to testing cycling kit, Kristi is proably the ideal person. With European titles in CX, on gravel and on the road, this exceptional athlete and writer knows what works. She’s also from the Baltic region, which is cold now and again – and so Kristi also knows how to wrap up well! Time then to test Danish brand GripGrab, and how comfortable their latest kit actually is.
Do Ale make some of the best women’s cycle clothing in the world? Probably, yes. I liked the look of Ale Cycling’s products from the very beginning. In addition to the unique design, with an aesthetic sense, the quality of the products is clearly superior to other brands. It oozes quality from first sight…
In case you haven’t noticed it, women are built differently from men – it’s a fact. All too often, historically, brands have simply produced downsized products for women, and have failed either deliberately or otherwise, to recognise the physiological differences. Yes, the cycling world simply used a ‘Pink it & Shrink it’ mentally, failing to understand the specific needs of women as athletes.
Women’s cycling kit matters, because having uncomfortable clothing, or a women’s cycling jersey that causes chaffing or doesn’t offer support, can turn an enjoyable ride into an ordeal. Time to give you some tips on choosing the best ladies cycling kit
Look good in lycra with DS Pro, as we examine the style, design and fabric technicity of this exciting and developing brand
“Beautiful, comfortable cycling jerseys for going fast in. But that also look great at the coffee stop” 🙂
Stylish Viking brand Sigr was born in Umeå, in the cold and dark parts of northern Sweden. As the focus of this brand is to manage wet and cold days, they wanted to see how it performs on the hot French Riviera. The first impression of this model is really “wow, I love the design”!
I’ve really enjoyed testing out the kit from SIGR. It’s well made, stylish and modern and performs well.It’s a new brand to me, but one that I would happily recommend. In terms of the testing, last but not least, what is a kit review without making sure the bib shorts are holding the same standards as the jerseys, right?
