Women's Cycling Clothing

So you want to start cycling, but you need the right outfit…What do you buy?

Let’s talk about women’s cycling clothing. There aren’t a lot of different outfit options on the market - the typical cycling outfit is a legging/short with a chamois included or a bib, and a jersey top. This cycling outfit has been the same for years, with improvements made to fit, color, size, and fabric technicality, but the actual outfit hasn't changed. This is the main reason why I created ORYA.

I wanted to fill a gap in the market and create women’s athleisure cycling clothes.  

WOMEN’S CYCLING TOPS

Starting from your top layer, most cyclists, male and female, wear a cycling jersey. The cycling jersey usually has a zipper in the front down the middle, pockets in the back for easy access to whatever you need during your ride, and a fitted high-low cut. They are generally made from lightweight and moisture-wicking fabric.

At Orya, our Essential Long Sleeve T-shirt is our twist on the cycling jersey. We created a top that has the technical features of a cycling jersey, but is also comfortable, flattering, and doesn't make you look like a true cyclist! It is lightweight, sweat wicking, and caters to the female form. It also has two side pockets giving it the storage space you need while you ride. 

What is the best part of the Essential Long Sleeve T-Shirt? It is the perfect long sleeve layer for all outdoor activities – walking, running, hiking, golfing, playing tennis, or even running daily errands. Many of our customers have bought it for actives outside of cycling! The side pockets can be used to keep your phone, keys, money, headphones, and even a quick snack like a granola bar.

Our Classic Tank Top is the summer alternative to the Essential Long Sleeve T-Shirt. It is a comfortable, breathable, easy summer layer that can be worn alone or under our other tops. The side pocket gives you a discrete space to keep whatever you need while out and about so that you don't have to worry about taking a bag with you!

WOMEN’S CYCLING JACKET

The Lightweight Jacket is our spin on a typical cycling jacket. Like the name implies, it is a lightweight water and wind resistant layer. What else makes our cycling jacket special? It has three pockets: our discrete double back pockets in the back and a front pocket, making it easy to store everything you need.

One of women's biggest complaints about cycling clothes is that they are very tight and they make them feel self-conscious when off the bike. Nobody wants to feel like they want to take their outfit off as fast as possible to get into something more flattering. For this reason, we added the side-zippers on the jacket, which allows you to create a loose fit or a tight fit depending on how you feel. If you're feeling a bit bloated, or you're sitting down at a café for a coffee, you can easily unzip the sides of the jacket and create a flowy look. If you're ready to ride and want everything tight, you just zip up and go!

These 3 cycling top options give you an opportunity to start cycling without spending a lot of money on a cycling-specific outfit that you will only use every so often.

You can create your cycling gear out of comfortable and flattering athleisure wear that gives you all the technicality that you need to cycle! 

Let's roll!
