Black Friday is fast approaching, the sale officially kicks off on the 29th of November, but deals are starting to appear thick and fast already.
We already have our Black Friday bike deals hub, which houses a mix of all the best deals from across our good sport. This is our main cycling clothing hub. You'll find jerseys, bib shorts, jackets and accessories that are all a good price, and crucially are things we rate as products too, many of them featuring in our buyer's guides.
This means we have personally tested them and included them in a best-of-the-best guide. We will be updating this hub regularly between now and Black Friday itself and will continue to populate it with our pick of the choicest deals.

How to choose the best cheap cycling clothing for you
When it comes to finding the best cheap cycling clothing, you'll need to ask yourself a few questions.
Firstly, what is your budget? There is little point browsing products with price tags you're not willing to pay, so have this in mind from the off.
Next, you'll need to know what sort of riding you wish to do; riding off-road will come with different kit requirements than riding on the road, so having an idea of your intended use will be important.
Thirdly, what type of clothing are you looking to buy? If you're looking for a new jersey, there's obviously little need to browse bib shorts, and vice versa.
Finally, understand the nuances of brand reputation and quality. All of the brands we've listed here are ones we're happy to recommend, but at this end of the pricing spectrum, the difference between a good product and one that will fall apart in three months could be small in terms of their price difference. Our recommendation here is to stick to brands that come recommended by someone who's used it. That could be us, a friend, or someone else you trust.
What are cycling clothes made out of?
Most cycling clothes are made up of a combination of polyester, Lycra, spandex and nylon, though each brand will have its own mix. It is important to research what temperatures each piece of clothing is designed for, as summer kit will have more moisture-wicking qualities whereas winter kit will focus on warmth and heat retention.
Why do cyclists wear Lycra?
As a stretchy material, Lycra allows the rider to move freely on the bike, uninhibited by their clothing. It is breathable so allows sweat to be carried away from the skin to the outside of the garment, helping keep the rider cool and dry. It is also designed to fit snugly to the skin so as to cut nicely through the wind.
Does more money equal better quality clothing?
It depends is the short answer. Certain pieces of kit will provide very similar performance to far more expensive ones. More specific pieces of kit may perform far better than cheaper versions where there is usually a compromise to be made.
This is why we try to recommend deals where we have used the products ourselves. We have tried and tested the not-so-good stuff and try to recommend the best options.
Do I need to wear padded cycling shorts?
Shorts with padding, or a chamois as they are known, are designed to help you sit comfortably on the saddle whilst cycling and reduce chafing, saddle sores and another discomfort. Though a personal preference, they are recommended if spending any extended or regular time in the saddle. To learn more, see our guide on the best cycling shorts.
