Cycling Adventure Gear Essentials
Before you hit the road, it’s important to build your stamina and strength. And to make those training miles more comfortable, the right gear is a must.
Start with cleat-compatible shoes for road cycling. The PEARL iZUMi PRO Road Shoes are a great option. Lightweight with a stiff PRO carbon power plate and a dial lace system, they offer a comfortable, custom fit and protect your feet during long rides.
Pair them with the moisture-wicking Transfer 4” Socks for added comfort.
Next, don’t skimp on padded shorts. The PRO Bib Shorts are highly rated, comfortable, and come in various colors. With minimal seams, they offer a snug fit, and the women’s version features a drop-tail design for easy bathroom breaks.
Top it off with the Attack Air Jersey, made from UPF 50+ fabric. Available in bright colors for visibility and safety, it has extended sleeves and multiple rear pockets for added convenience.
With the right gear, you’re all set for an adventure!
Adventure awaits in Italy, both on and off the bike.
For longer rides, stay prepared for wind and weather with the Attack Hybrid Jacket. Its breathable, durable, and lightweight materials make it perfect for any forecast. A must-have for every road cyclist, this water-resistant jacket offers both performance and comfort.
If you struggle with numb hands on long rides, or need extra sun protection, the Elite Gel Gloves are a top choice. Available in several colors, including the bright Screaming Yellow, these fingerless gloves provide protection and breathability.
The Transfer Cycling Cap is a hidden gem. Made with UPF 50+ fabric, it keeps sweat out of your eyes and protects against the sun. Its short bill blocks rays without obstructing visibility, making it ideal for sunny Italian rides.
