Climate chart for cycling clothing – What clothing is needed for which weather conditions?

The right cycling apparel depends heavily on the temperature and weather. While light jerseys and bib shorts are sufficient in summer, additional layers such as thermal bibs, windproof jackets, or rain gear are needed in wind, rain, or cold temperatures. Our climate chart shows you at a glance which cycling apparel is optimal for which weather conditions – including specific recommendations from our Ryzon range.
