The ultimate size guide for cycling clothing – find your perfect fit

Finding the right cycling clothing can be challenging, especially when you shop online. To help you make the right choice from the start, we have put together this post with the most important information and tips to help you find the optimal size and fit for your next item of cycling clothing and avoid returns.

At Bobshop, you will find cycling clothing in a variety of fits, perfectly tailored to different needs and riding styles. Whether it's jerseys, jackets or vests, our cycling outerwear offers optimal protection, maximum comfort and the best performance in all weather conditions. So you can be sure that you are not only comfortable, but also have the best functionality when you are out and about.

Solutions and tips for the perfect choice

Finding the right size can be difficult, especially since sizes often vary from brand to brand. Cuts and fits also differ, and different fabrics affect how clothing fits. That's why we provide a range of tools and tips to help you reliably deliver cycling clothing in the right sizes.

Detailed product information

• Every item in our shop contains precise descriptions and size charts to help you choose. In addition, many of our items are marked with special icons that indicate whether the garment is cut rather narrowly or rather loosely.

Know your measurements!

• When buying new bike clothing, the fit is essential. However, since body shapes are very individual and difficult to reduce to size designations such as S, M or L, it makes sense to know your own measurements and compare them with the available size tables. These tables are linked on the details page of each product and also contain valuable information on how to ideally measure and thus determine the correct clothing size.

Advice and customer support

• We are here for you! Contact us by email, chat or phone if you have any questions. You can get advice on sizes from our team at the Bobstore in Wiesloch. But even if you order online, you can still give us your measurements and take advantage of the expertise of our customer service team. We are happy to help you find the right size.

The fit: fitted, relaxed & more

In our online shop, you will find icons and detailed product information that show you at a glance the fit and features of each garment. This allows you to quickly assess whether the cycling clothing meets your requirements. This information is supplemented by precise size tables to help you make your decision.

With this help and a clear understanding of the fit, you can easily find the perfect cycling clothing that not only looks good but also fits perfectly and meets your needs.

• Fitted: This fit offers a close cut that combines aerodynamics and a professional look. Ideal for fast descents and sporty riders who value performance. The fabric hugs the body without constricting, providing an optimal balance between freedom of movement and functionality – perfect for long tours with a sporty ambition.

• Relaxed: Slightly wider and looser, this fit is ideal for relaxed rides or riders who prefer more freedom of movement. Relaxed fits are particularly popular for bike shirts, as they offer mobility and comfort without sacrificing functionality.
• No icon: If no specific fit icon is given, it is a regular-fit item. These are close-fitting, but offer sufficient freedom of movement and comfort. Perfect for those looking for a versatile garment. Please note any additional information in the product description to help you assess the fit more accurately.

How to measure correctly?

At Bobshop, we can say from experience that our Italian brands are generally cut shorter and narrower! Therefore, it can be said that in no case is it a mistake to take your own measurements and choose the right size. It's best to have someone else take your measurements. The measuring tape should be wrapped tightly around the appropriate area.

• Height (A):

Measure from head to toe without shoes.

• Chest (B):

Measure around the fullest part of your chest, just below the armpits.

• Waist (C):

Measure around the narrowest part of your waist.

The measurements you take can easily be compared with our size charts, ensuring that you find the perfect size for you first time.

How to try on cycling clothing

To ensure that your new cycling clothing fits perfectly, you should test it as you would on a bike:

• Riding position: when trying things on, adopt a slightly forward-leaning position with your arms raised to check the ergonomics of the cycling clothing.
• Extended back: Please note that the cycling clothing is designed to be long enough to prevent riding up when you are standing, but it will fit perfectly when you are on the bike.

Sustainability is our focus

Returns are not only a burden for companies, but also for the environment. That is why we rely on resource-saving processes:

• Returns to sales: The returned goods are checked and reintegrated into sales instead of being disposed of.
• Sustainable packaging: Our mailing bags are certified by the Blue Angel, which means they are environmentally friendly and sustainably produced.

Conclusion

With these tips, we hope to make it easier for you to find your new favorite cycling clothing. Try them out and start your next tour in maximum comfort and style!
