Thoughtful and tested for even more performance: our technologies in product development.

When developing sportswear, many factors come into play — and they all have to work together to provide you with the comfort and performance you expect from your cycling jersey or bib shorts.

Here, we give you an insight into the development of our chamois, show you how to make the most of tailoring options, explain the benefits of different fabrics, and highlight the printing techniques you can use to customize your kit.

Our Tailoring Options for Customizing Your Apparel

Maximum comfort and top performance are only achieved when your cycling jersey or bib shorts fit perfectly. And who hasn’t experienced it — the leg length is too short, or the jersey sleeves could use a few extra centimeters for added style?

With our tailoring options, you can adjust the arm, leg, and body length individually — for nearly every piece of apparel. Our size samples feature a so-called Tailoring Tag, making it easy for you to determine your perfect fit.

These adjustments create a perfectly tailored kit and truly unique, personalized sportswear.

Our Chamois: Perfectly Matched to Our Bib Shorts

Most of us know: the chamois isn’t just padding — it determines how much fun you’ll have on the bike.

We develop both our bib shorts and chamois in-house, ensuring they are perfectly matched — tested in our factory United Apparel Solutions. All our materials come 100% from Europe, featuring premium foam with top-level density, resilience, and breathability.

The real secret of a chamois lies beneath the visible top layer. Technologically, we use “sciving” instead of traditional molding: rather than pressing hard edges, the foam is precisely milled.

Knitted Fabrics with High Functionality

Knitted fabrics impress with their versatility and high functionality. Classic Polyester combines breathability and flexibility, while the open-knit structure provides a light, airy feel that effectively wicks moisture. At the same time, the material’s elasticity ensures maximum freedom of movement.

Woven Fabrics for Enhanced Compression

Woven fabrics deliver higher compression than knits, offering a precise and supportive fit. Their fine, dense structure keeps them lightweight and thin without sacrificing stability. These properties support thermoregulation, keeping the body comfortably cool during intense activity, combining compression, lightness, and performance at a high level.

Functional Fabrics

  • Aero

    Aero fabrics for cycling apparel are designed to minimize air resistance and boost performance. Their smooth, flat surface optimizes airflow and supports speed, while specialized materials and structures provide a close fit that directs air efficiently without restricting movement — combining efficiency and comfort.

  • PrimaLoft® Evolve

    These products use PrimaLoft® Active Fabric for insulation — a high-performance material that keeps you warm without bulk. Lightweight, breathable, moisture-regulating, and compressible, it’s ideal for compact packing. Easy to care for and hypoallergenic, it’s free of animal products and 100 % PFC-free.

  • Drirelease

    Drirelease® fabrics blend polyester with natural fibers, merging functional performance with a soft, casual feel. The smooth surface ensures comfort while specialized fibers wick moisture quickly, keeping you dry and comfortable — perfect for sports and leisurewear.

  • Thermal

    Thermal fabrics are used wherever optimal warmth is needed. A dense surface and brushed inner side trap body heat while allowing airflow for comfort and temperature regulation during intense activity. Available in Midweight, Thermal, or Softshell variants, they offer the ideal balance of warmth, mobility, and functionality for various conditions.

  • Cordura®

    Cordura® is an exceptionally durable fabric made from high-strength nylon fibers, known for its tear and abrasion resistance. Our offroad products use Cordura®’s dense weave for maximum durability without compromising flexibility or comfort — even under extreme conditions.

  • Water-Repellent: DWR

    Our DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish causes water to bead off the surface. When combined with a membrane, it does provide true protection against moisture while maintaining breathability. Ideal for MTB shorts, Element Shield, or hardshell jackets – offering effective weather protection and lasting comfort even in rain or damp conditions.

  • Sublimation

    Here, your design is printed onto special transfer paper and then transferred onto the jersey under heat and, if needed, vacuum. The temperature is adjusted to the material for perfect color vibrancy and durability.

  • Screen Print

    With screen printing, your logo is applied by hand directly onto products like bib shorts or jackets. Silicon print creates soft, flexible designs, while PVC print delivers highly opaque colors — ideal for larger quantities.

  • DTF Print

    With DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing, the design is printed onto a coated film, coated with a special adhesive powder, and then heat-transferred onto hoodies or shirts — perfect for small runs.

  • Heat Transfer Print

    Similar to DTF, the design is printed on a thin film and transferred onto the garment using heat. The film and temperature are adjusted to the material, ensuring elasticity and optimal adhesion.

  • Embroidery

    In embroidery, the design is converted into a stitch pattern and applied directly to textiles like hoodies or shirts using a embroidery machine. Different color heads determine the number of colors that can be used.
