A cycling jersey is a specialised jersey for cycling.
The cycling jersey used to be made of wool since the inception of cycling as a sport in the early 1900s,[1] while contemporary jerseys have evolved into technical sportswear that is lightweight, fitted, made of synthetic and moisture-wicking fabric.
A specialised cycling jersey for the road discipline features the following unique characteristics:[2][3][4]
Cycling jerseys are available in various cuts. For instance, a loose 'club cut' offering relaxed fit for recreational cyclists, and a form-fitting 'race cut' featuring a tailored fit that is tighter and shorter.[5] Jerseys for other cycling disciplines such as mountain biking have different characteristics. Looser jerseys allow body armour to be worn beneath.[6] Long sleeve options also provide additional protection against branches and twigs.[7]
Professional cycling is heavily sponsored. Regulations specify the size, colour and the placement of sponsor, national federation and manufacturer logos and other graphics.[8] In professional races, certain colours or patterns have special symbolism that signify the leader or the champion of a race or tour. Numbers are pinned on the back of the jersey for a race.
