And is not even april yet...
One of the best benefits is that you don't need to do it in a group, so minimal clothing is not an issue
Interesting...
I guess wearing old shorts that are too indecent to be worn outside, and those free tech-tees they give away at events is where I've been going wrong all theese years. Sign me up immediatle so I can look fast while wanting to vom into a bucket after another sufferfest masterpiece!
On a more serious note, Indoor training seems to have really taken off so I guess it was only time before clothing manufacturers jumped on the bandwagon, especially with Gyms now doing group zwift session. Riding in just your bibs surrounded my other people isn't really the done thing i guess. I wonder whether this will come in long sleves though, as like pedalpower DC, I occasionally like wearing some form of long sleeved skins top when doing a hard session as it stops sweat from running down my arms onto the bars/dripping off my elbows.
Why buy something, when I just use my old relegated bib-shorts and jerseys. Once they have faded and look a bit shabby, they go to use on the turbo.
My garage is bloody cold too at this time of year, so I start off with a big hoody on, then peel off layers as I warm up. I often appear out of the garage an hour or two later, steaming gently in just bib-shorts, a proper treat for the neighbours I'm sure!
Not interested until they come out with something nice and aero.
DHB padded underpants. That's it. You don't need any more.
you hardly need anything, it's so much hotter than riding outdoors, even with fans running.
Shoot, I usually wear skinsuits on the trainer, preferably long sleeve.
I just wear bibs and a thin base layer. Jacket to warm up with but that's taken off in the first few minutes.
That's all well and good, but how aero are they? Everyone knows that aero trumps weight these days.
This trully is the bottom of the barrel.
It's the helmet that needs more vents if you ask me.
Until we all get / make those fancy rockers a thicker chamois might help? Anything much over 75 minutes and it's no longer comfortable.
I'm glad it's not just me!
Might build a DIY rocker though.
Not a bad shout. But does anybody really wear a jersey when on the turbo?
I do, usually full zip and open though, I like having a pocket to stick my fan control remote, or a gel for long races where I can't get off. I guess I could get a top tube bag, but then I'd be one of those weird triathlete types (/s)
Yep, and a base layer because it's flipping cold in my garage
You need a decent adjustable fan heater
Because it's important to bo concerned about weight on a STATIONARY trainer.
A pocket can be useful on any item of clothing though.
The lower the weight, the faster it dries, I guess.
I can see a market for this sort of stuff for spin sessions. I find normal gym shorts have awkward seams and full cycling shorts are too padded for such active sessions, so I wear a pair of triathlon shorts with a minimal chamois. On top, I tend to wear a summer cycling top, as the waistband on a normal t-shirt flaps around too much. No need for the pockets in a spin session.
for a spin session, just wear normal gym gear, tank top or short sleeve base layer and leggings, I mean you cant really knock them for creating it, it just feels like the classic specialist bit of cyclist clothing looking for a purpose thats actually already well covered by alternatives.
