WHAT DO I WEAR?
Indoor training requires good quality cycle clothing to keep you comfortable during a long session in the saddle. You'll still want the sweat-wicking and breathable fabrics offered by outdoor jerseys to keep you cool and comfortable but you'll also need lightweight materials to compensate for the lack of air flow you would normally experience when cycling outdoors.
The popularity of indoor training has birthed new lines specifically made for the rigours of your turbo sessions, offering improved ventilation and fast-wicking chamois pads that support an aggressive riding position on those sprints.
