How much do you know about basic cycling clothing fabric knowledge? 1. How do cycling clothes absorb moisture and wick away sweat?
Many riders don’t know much about the zero-touch quick-drying perspiration technology. In terms of physical structure and principle, the wicking and moisture-conducting structure of the groove produces a siphon effect, which quickly absorbs moisture and sweat on the skin surface and discharges it instantly. The fibers on the cloth surface diffuse and quickly evaporate the sweat, so as to achieve the purpose of moisture absorption and perspiration, regulating body temperature, and keeping the skin dry and cool. 
2. Why are all functional fabrics so different in wearing experience?
The fabric is made of different types of fibers through various weaving techniques, and the various combinations are very different. For example, it is easy to understand that flour can be made into a variety of different pasta, not to mention the difference in taste between various pasta, even if it is exactly the same noodles, the taste of noodles made by different chefs will definitely be different. Of course, everyone's tastes are different, which can also cause different experiences in the same cycling jersey.
3. Why do some jerseys pilling?
The basic reason for the pilling of cycling clothes is mainly related to the choice of fabrics. The surface of the fabric selected for low-end cycling clothes is hairy. These hairs are constantly drawn from the fabric by friction to produce hairs, and then the hairs become tighter and tighter with each other, and finally form small hairballs.In addition, the washing time of cycling clothes is too long, it is easy to cause fabric fiber damage, fiber breakage, and increase the possibility of pilling; washing temperature is too high (appropriate temperature is about 30 degrees), detergent error (neutral detergent is recommended) And so on may cause pilling.
4. Why do we recommend hand-washing cycling clothes?
Under normal circumstances, every brand of cycling clothing has a washing label, and there will be detailed washing recommendations (such as detergent, water temperature, hand washing options, etc.) on it. This is not just a decorative effect, but a useful purpose. In addition to the pilling mentioned above, more importantly, functional fabrics provide you with a good riding experience, but these fabrics are more delicate. If your washing method is not correct, the fiber structure of these functional fabrics may be broken, which will eventually affect the function and wearing experience, so you still have to cherish your cycling clothes.
