Product Questions
4. How should I choose the right size?
Finding the perfect fit is crucial for comfort and performance. We provide a detailed size guide on every product page. This guide includes measurements for chest, waist, hips, and inseam. We strongly recommend taking your own measurements with a soft tape measure and comparing them to our size chart to find your ideal fit. If you are between sizes, we generally suggest sizing up for a more relaxed fit or sizing down for a race-oriented, aerodynamic cut, depending on your personal preference.
5. Are the sizes true to fit?
Our sizing is designed to align with standard cycling industry measurements. However, because cycling apparel is meant to fit snugly to reduce wind resistance and prevent chafing, it may feel tighter than casual clothing. This is intentional. We recommend reviewing the specific fit notes on each product page, as some items, like our race jerseys, are designed with an aggressive, form-fitting cut, while others, like our club-fit jerseys, offer a slightly more generous silhouette.
6. What materials are used in your products?
We utilize only high-quality, technical fabrics sourced from trusted suppliers. Our jerseys are primarily constructed from lightweight, moisture-wicking polyester blends that draw sweat away from the skin, keeping you dry and cool. Our bib shorts feature high-density chamois pads with multi-layer foam construction for superior shock absorption and comfort. Thermal garments incorporate brushed fleece interiors for insulation while maintaining breathability. All materials are chosen for their durability, elasticity, and ability to perform under various weather conditions.
7. How should I care for my Modern Cycling Wear apparel?
To extend the life of your cycling kit, we recommend following these care instructions: Machine wash your apparel in cold water (30°C or below) with similar colors. Use a mild detergent, and avoid fabric softeners, bleach, or harsh chemicals, as they can degrade the technical fabrics and moisture-wicking properties. It is best to turn your garments inside out before washing to protect the printed logos and zippers. After washing, hang your clothes to air dry in the shade. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage the elastic fibers and adhesive seams.
8. Are your products suitable for extreme weather conditions?
Yes. We offer a range of products designed for specific weather conditions. For summer, our lightweight jerseys and ventilated bib shorts offer maximum breathability. For spring and autumn, our long-sleeve jerseys and lightweight gilets provide versatile layering options. For winter, our thermal bib tights, windproof jackets, and base layers are engineered to keep you warm and insulated without overheating. We recommend browsing our collection by season or weather type to find the perfect kit for your local climate.
