Many articles of bicycle clothes are able to be worn by either sex, although there are some pretty spiffy designers producing their clothing to women. Items from shorts, shirts, vests, jackets, thermal gear, and suits are designed for bikers. The high tech material is UV reflective, a very critical attribute these days with all the warnings about skin damage flooding the media. The material is also featherlight and breathable, a boon in any weather. Bicycle clothes fit close to your skin to diminish wind resistance. A streamlined silhouette makes you faster.
