5 Benefits of Polyester Cycing Jerseys

by Larry Hart

When you are preparing to order custom cycling kit for your team or club, it is important to think about the fabric you want the cycling jerseys to be made from. Fabric choice is just as important as jersey design, so it is worth spending some time learning about the benefits of different types of materials. Here are five reasons why polyester should be your first choice of fabric for cycling jerseys.

1. Breathable

Everyone perspires a little while cycling up a hill, but wearing a breathable material can minimise the amount of sweat produced. Polyester is a highly breathable fabric that helps cyclists to stay less sweaty compared to less breathable types of material, such as rayon.

2. Quick-Drying

Even on rides where you spend too much time taking in the scenery to end up covered in sweat, there is still a chance of getting caught in a downpour. When the rain stops, polyester clothing will wick the water away from your skin so it can evaporate away quickly. This property means you won't spend the rest of the day in wet clothing, like you would if you wore a less quick-drying fabric like cotton.

3. Durable

Any fabric that you choose for your team cycling jerseys should be able to handle frequent washing without losing its shape or fading. Polyester is suitable for both hot and cold washing, as well as drying in a tumble dryer. Choosing this fabric makes it easy for club or team members to clean their cycling clothes between rides.

4. Versatile

Polyester fibres readily accept dyes of all shades, which means that you can get polyester custom cycling jerseys in any colour you like. All you have to do is come up with a design that matches the aesthetic of your team or club and then provide it to the custom cycling jersey manufacturer. In no time, your members will be proudly representing your organisation with a design that looks fabulous.

5. Wrinkle-Free

At the end of a long ride, you want your cycling kit to look as good as it did at the beginning. Polyester is a wrinkle-free fabric, which means that whether you have just taken your custom cycling jersey out of the tumble dryer, found it squashed up at the bottom of your bag or worn it during a long and gruelling ride, it will always be free from wrinkles.
