Material reports by Jonathan Reuning & Jane Kittel / Team Green'n Fit
To look good on a road bike, you not only need a great road bike and muscular, sun-tanned legs, but also the right outfit. On the one hand, the cycling clothing is the work clothing of every racing cyclist, which should be visually different from the others. On the other hand, it is also functional underwear that should fit like a second skin. Clothing manufacturers face different challenges in order to meet customer requirements. Our sponsor Jakroo met our expectations exactly.
The men in the team wear the narrow cut NOVA jersey. Despite the qualitative and ultra-light materials, it is airtight and moisture-wicking. With the comfortable jersey, nothing will flap in the wind to lose valuable seconds. Admittedly, the jersey is ideal for summer conditions, but an additional wind vest can also provide an extra layer of insulation in changeable conditions. The vest and the jersey with their jersey pockets have enough space for a wide variety of equipment.
In wintry conditions we recommend the Sidewinder, a winter jacket with triple wind and rain protection. The tight-fitting cycling jacket is the perfect warming companion in the winter months, when, as is well known, the foundation for the coming season is laid. But now to what I think is the most important piece of clothing for every racing cyclist: the racing pants. Rudi Altig once said "A cyclist needs to take better care of his bottom than his face", so choosing the right pants is crucial. The Velo BIB bib shorts have a particularly good seat pad made in Italy. Thanks to the power band leg ends and the mesh straps to prevent slipping, the pants are particularly recommended for fast, long and difficult tours. In addition, each piece of clothing is equipped with reflectors that ensure better visibility in the dark.

Clothes make the man or cyclists!
This year, the Green'n fit team is not only proving its speed in the races, no, when it comes to cycling clothing, we are also way ahead this year with the Jakroo company. Because with the ultra-light jersey in the slim fit we are always cool even in the hottest phases of the race. The continuous zip can be effortlessly opened with one hand while driving. The silicone edge on the waist prevents annoying riding up and you can easily access the 3 back pockets and a pocket with a zipper.
The matching cycling shorts with straps and the super comfortable seat pad will not leave you with sore bottoms even after a long ride. And so that the form strip, which you worked hard for in the spring, stays where it should be, the leg ends don't slip thanks to the super workmanship.
Conclusion: The overall package of fit, cut and material leaves you feeling comfortable.
