dhb Bib Shorts: $51.00 $32.00 at Wiggle
37% off - Cycling can be an eye wateringly expensive sport to get into. If you're just getting started then you could do a lot worse than these budget bib shorts from dhb. They may not be the most fancy, but they'll keep more money in your pocket if you need to buy other things to get going.
Sportful Fiandre NoRain Leg Warmers: $59.99 $36.77 at Mike's Bikes
39% off - These leg warmers really stand out in the rain. No, they aren't waterproof, but they will shrug off road spray and showers better than most.
Specialized RBX Bib Shorts: $90.00 $54.00 at Jenson USA
40% off - Our Tech Editor rates these as a really decent set of budget bib shorts, even at full price. Slash the RRP by nearly half and it's very hard to go wrong.
The women's version is discounted just as heavily too!
Sportful Monocrom Thermal Jersey: $159.99 $80.77 at Mike's Bikes
50% off - Only available in M or XL, this long-sleeved thermal jersey is constructed from high-stretch fabric and uses a dye technique that results in unique colouring for each jersey produced.
Endura Pro SL Bib Shorts: $199.99 $80.99 at Wiggle
60% off - Unfussy, comfortable, dependable, and a firm favourite among all of us in the tech team here at CN. With over half off they're an absolute steal.
Sportful Fiandre NoRain Women's Bib Tights: $149.99 £86.77 at Mike's Bikes
42% off - While I've not used the bib tights, I've used the thermal bib short versions and they were the most water-repellent of all the options on test, so if you are heading out in wet weather then these may well be an excellent choice.
POC Motion Rain Jacket: $239.95 $109.99 at The Pros Closet
$130 off - I rate this as the best commuter jacket in my guide to the best waterproof cycling jackets. Well made, sturdy, and neat enough for off-bike use. It's only available in S, but sizes a little large in my experience, so bear that in mind.
Castelli Tutto Nano Bib Shorts: $149.99 $112.49 at Competitive Cyclist
25% off - Having tested loads of thermal bib shorts these are definitely a pair I rate. Castelli chamois are among the best out there, and the reflective patches on the back of the legs add actual decent visibility in low light and at night time.
dhb Aeron Tempo 3 Waterproof Jacket: $190.00 $114.00 at Wiggle
40% off - A third jacket from my guide that's available with a sizeable chunk off. It's race cut, with a heavily dropped tail and enough stretch to never restrict movement. A great investment for wet weather riding.
dhb Trail waterproof jacket: $195.00 $117.00 at Wiggle
40% off - Another jacket I recommend in my waterproof jacket guide as a decent product at full price, now with a hefty discount. Short on pockets, but big on protection, and easily packable into a hip pack.
Castelli Free Aero RC Bib Shorts: $219.00 $120.99 at Competitive Cyclist
Up to 45% off - These shorts received a five star review, and were praised for their comfort, build quality, straps, and overall fit. Basically, they're a cracking pair of bibs, and with nearly half off in grey they're a bargain.
Endura Pro SL Waterproof Jacket: $212.00 $150.99 at Wiggle
29% off - A jacket lifted straight from my guide to the best waterproof cycling jackets. Breathable, well-made, and visible, it's a perfect jacket for doubling up on commuting and club run duties.
Here's my review, if you need more info.
Pearl Izumi Expedition Bib Shorts: $265.00 $172.25 at Competitive Cyclist
Up to 30% off - These are my absolute favourite pair of bib shorts, both for gravel and road. They feel supremely luxurious, with a light compression and wonderful materials. The legs are raw edges, so the grippers never dig in, and the straps are the best on the market in my opinion. All colours are discounted, but the biggest reduction is on the floral blue pair, which I have and am actually pretty partial to.
Gore C5 Shakedry Insulated Waterproof Jacket: $349.95 $227.47 at Competitive Cyclist
35% off - Gore-Tex Shakedry has been the absolute gold standard in cycling waterproofs for a long time, but it has now been discontinued. This insulated version is prime for truly atrocious weather - Get it now (in US M only), as when it's gone it's REALLY gone.
Castelli Perfetto ROS Convertible Jacket: $319.99 $239.99 at Competitive Cyclist
25% off - The Perfetto has taken up the mantle from the original and much revered Gabba jacket. Water resistant, highly breathable, windproof, and with removable lower arms to add even more versatility.
UK Cyber Monday cycling clothing deals
Velotoze: £18.00 £6.00 at Sigma Sports
67% off - Basically a swimming cap for your feet. They're a little fragile and hard to put on, but for racing in the wet, or time trials they are excellent. Only available in S and in green.
dhb Merino Neck Tube: £22.00 £13.00 at Wiggle
41% off - One of the best bargains I ever picked up was a merino neck warmer, admittedly from a different brand but you get the idea. They're significantly more pleasant to use than synthetic alternatives, and will almost certainly become a staple of your cold weather wardrobe.
dhb Regulate leg warmers: £24.00 £16.50 at Wiggle
31% off - I rate these are the best entry point into extending your riding further into winter. They feature in my guide to the best cycling leg warmers, and while they are a bit basic they're also noticeably cheaper than anything else. If you ride gravel or cyclocross and regularly get filthy then cheaper may well be better, too.
dhb Merino base layer: £40.00 £24.00 at Wiggle
40% off - A short sleeve merino base layer is the first part of every riding outfit for me for at least half the year; I have several, and while they aren't exciting they are extremely versatile, comfortable, and less clammy than synthetic options.
dhb Deep Winter FLT Glove: £36.00 £14.50 at Wiggle
60% off - Winter is here, that much is undeniable, and while many of us will hide away in our spare bedroom riding on Zwift, the hardiest among us will don a pair of dhb Deep Winter FLT gloves and embrace the cold. If that's you, you'll benefit from waterproof and windproof fabrics, reflective detailing, a foam-padded palm, and silicone grippers on your braking fingers.
dhb Bib Shorts: £40.00 £25.00 at Wiggle
38% off - Want to get into cycling but don't want to overspend? You'll have probably already noticed dhb, the brand renowned for offering good quality kit at low prices. These basic bibs were already good value at their RRP, but Wiggle's pretty much giving them away now at half price.
Castelli RoS 2 Overshoes: £110 £79 at Sigma Sports
28% off - With a fleecy interior and waterproof outer, the Castelli RoS 2 overshoes are great for riding through the worst that winter can throw at us. With winter weather very much on the horizon, these won't hang around at this price.
dhb Flashlight Waterproof Trouserst: £50.00 £30.00 at Wiggle
40% off - I don't necessarily rate these for extended or regular use, but as an emergency layer to have in your bag for the commute they are decent, especially at a reduced price. They easily slip over normal trousers to keep you dry and add some much needed reflectivity.
dhb Aeron All Winter Softshell: £135.00 £33.75 at Wiggle
Up to 75% off - This budget softshell is a well-fitted road jersey designed for winter riding. Like many of the best winter cycling jackets, it's not actually waterproof, but water-resistant enough while breathable which makes it a great choice for hard riding. The only remaining options now is the size XS in Fluro yellow.
dhb Women's Thermal Bib Tight: £60.00 £40.00 at Wiggle
33% off - These women's bib tights are a seriously affordable route into comfortable winter road cycling. They come with a warm fleecy interior fabric, Elastic Interface chamois, reflective details for added visibility and environmentally-friendly Bluesign-approved fabrics.

dhb Aeron FLT Roubaix Bib Tight 2.0: £100.00 £60.00 at Wiggle
40% off - The Roubaix tights are made using a soft fleecy interior and DWR coated for a water-resistant exterior. They use an Elastic Interface chamois pad for comfort and are made using environmentally friendly Bluesign-approved fabrics.
Universal Colours Chroma Short Sleeve Jersey: £150.00 £60.00 at Sigma Sport
Up to 60% off - Universal Colours is Sigma Sports' clothing brand with impressive designs, great performance and comfortable fit. This short sleeve jersey might not be top of the shopping list as we head into winter, but at this price, it could be one to snap up now to add to the kit list for summer 2024.
Endura Pro SL Bib Shorts: £139.99 £59.99 at Wiggle
57% off - I'm pretty sure every member of the tech team here has a pair of these. They're extremely comfortable, with good grippers and a decent chamois without being flash and importantly without breaking the bank, even at full price. They definitely come recommended here.
Castelli Explore Velocissimo Bib Tights: £140.00 £70.00 at Wiggle
50% off - Castelli's Explore Velocissimo bib tights are made using a brushed Thermoflex fabric to keep you warm. The renowned Kiss Air 2 seat pad continues the comfort theme, and the reflective ankle zippers offer an increase in visibility as well as ease of getting them on and off.
dhb Aeron Men's Tempo 3 Waterproof Jacket: £130.00 £78.00 at Wiggle
40% off - Another jacket from my guide to the best waterproof cycling jackets. It's well cut for road riding, thin enough to stuff into a jersey pocket, and stretchy enough to allow you all the freedom of movement you could ever need, all while keeping you dry.
dhb Trail Men's waterproof jacket: £150.00 £90.00 at Wiggle
40% off - Yet another jacket from my guide, and a valuable companion if you're of a gravelly or MTB disposition. It doesn't have any pockets to speak of, but as a layer to throw over when the heavens open it's great for the price, and with 40% off it's a real bargain.
Endura Hummvee Waterproof Hooded MTB Jacket: £119.99 £95.90 at Chain Reaction
Up to 20% off - Based in Scotland, Endura know a thing or three about riding in bad weather, and the Waterproof Hooded Hummvee jacket is as much proof as you'll need. With a two-layer fabric that's waterproof and windproof, but also breathable, it's built to stave off all weathers. There's also a large hood, a chest pocket, and adjustable cuffs and hem.

Up to 30% off - A seriously decent jacket at full price, and one straight from my guide to the best waterproof cycling jackets. At a 30% discount, it's a proper bargain, though you'll have to opt for black. Green is also reduced but to a lesser extent.

Great value cycling clothing brands
This section will focus not on finding one-off deals on once-expensive products, but instead on brands that offer great products at great prices all year round; brands we love that always seem to punch above their price point.
dhb
A household name in the cycling industry, dhb was created by Wiggle in 2004 and offers a wide variety of affordable cycling clothing. They offer a wide variety of kit, from road to mountain biking, with a number of different ranges. The Moda range features colourful, bold designs at very affordable prices and is a fun option for those in search of a stylish aesthetic.
dhb also has the Aeron range, focussing on performance and aerodynamics, however, the jump in quality comes with an equal jump in price. Read our dhb Aeron Raceline bib shorts review for more information on these specific items.
With a large selection of accompanying accessories, shoes and helmets, dhb covers most bases when it comes to cheap cycling clothing and has a good reputation for making durable, affordable products.
Moda women's short sleeve jersey
Best Womens short sleeve jersey if you love a bold print
Material: 100% polyester | Colours available: Eight | Intended use: Road, gravel
With dhb's Moda collection "designed by women, for women", the jersey features a low collar construction for ultimate comfort made with lightweight fabric, making it a great option for those warmer rides. It also incorporates three vertical pockets and one zippered pocket, with reflective inserts, for added practicality.
Not only is it very functional but dhb has also gone all-out with the bold, colourful designs, helping you to stand out from the crowd in these eye-catching jerseys.
dhb Flashlight waterproof jacket
Best jacket for high visibility
Material: 100% polyester | Colours available: 4 for men, 4 for women | Intended use: Road, gravel, commuting
While we all want to stay dry when the wet weather hits, overheating can often be a side effect. dhb has tackled this problem head-on with the Flashlight waterproof jacket, using a lightweight material with a hydrophilic PU membrane to maintain water protection.
The reflective patterns across the jacket mean the rider is visible from any angle, reinforced by the large reflective panel across the rear pocket. The material also features rip-stop technology to help prevent abrasions and give you the best riding experience in those tough conditions.
Endura
Born in Scotland, Endura is a great option for those looking for off-road cycling clothing at an affordable price. Its Hummvee collection is focused on riders who want comfort and reliability without wanting to don the Lycra.
Endura has also teamed up with the likes of Red Bull Hardline and Danny Macaskill to cement its place in the mountain biking community. The budget ranges are not that extensive, but provide a decent selection that covers most bases.
Endura Women's Hummvee Short II
The best riding shorts for wearing on and off the bike
Material: 100% nylon | Colours available: Five | Intended use: Gravel, Mtb, casual
Designed with the input of London couriers, Endura has made the Hummvee II their go-to shorts for off-road practicality. For those long days on the bike, they have maximum storage with a full six pockets to keep everything from tools to snacks and have double-stitched areas typically prone to wear for added durability.
A stand-out feature of these shorts is the detachable liner, complete with a moisture-wicking pad and Clickfast technology. With an elasticated waistband and integrated belt, the Hummvee II are comfortable and practicality rolled into one.
Endura MT500 Supercraft L/S Tee
The best jersey for off road use
Material: 70% recycled polyester, 30% polyester | Colours available: 2 | Intended use: Gravel, Mtb
Part of the MT500 enduro/downhill range, the Supercraft long-sleeve top is lightweight and, in Endura's own words, designed for "maximum steez". Worn by such notable riders as the Athertons, the jersey is aimed at those wanting to ride fast off-road, and stay cool (in both senses) whilst doing so.
In keeping with Endura's environmentally responsible ethics, the top is made of a majority recycled fabric and is built to stand the test of time.
Siroko
Siroko is better known for its sunglasses but is starting to make waves with its clothing as well. With a focus on making a premium product at an accessible price, Siroko creates all of the designs in-house with a statement minimalistic style. Though not the cheapest RRP, their website boasts an impressive amount of discounts bringing it well within the affordable price bracket.
Siroko Aspen men's bib shorts
Best bib shorts for sun protection
Material: 85% polyester, 15% elastane | Colours available: One | Intended use: Road, gravel
The Aspen bib shorts are all about keeping you comfortable for those long rides in the saddle, with Siroko's high-density Strato chamois and high-compression fabric. The bibs are understated in design, with flashes of innovation such as the reflective detailing on the leg to provide better visibility on the roads.
They also boast a UPF 50 rating against ultraviolet radiation and feature ultralight suspenders with a lumbar support panel, for a well-rounded set of bib shorts designed to help you comfortable on the bike for longer.
Siroko M2 Elba women's short sleeve jersey
Best jersey for a race fit
Material: Polyester, elastane | Colours available: 10 | Intended use: Road
Inspired by European cyclo-touring, the M2 jersey is Siroko's answer to ultimate riding comfort and performance. Featuring a Race Slim fit and Breathlock+ technology, this jersey is designed to make those long stints on the bike feel as good as possible. Like most of Siroko's clothing, the print is understated while still interesting, giving it that premium feels typically reserved for more expensive products. It also incorporates three large pockets, and one zippered pocket, for all of your storage needs whilst out on the road.
Van Rysel
As a well-known company in its own right, Decathlon launched the Van Rysel range in 2019. The range fulfils the role of entry-level clothing at a bare minimum cost, with jerseys starting at under £10. The flip side is that the products are not known for their longevity and durability, and the different choices are fairly limited.
However, if you are curious about cycling, just getting started or running on a very tight budget, the Van Rysel range might be the one for you.
Van Rysel Women's cycling rainproof jacket 100
Best waterproof budget jacket
Material: 100% polyester | Colours available: Two | Intended use: Road, commuting
The Women's cycling rainproof jacket is simple and made for one thing - keeping you dry in those occasional showers at a price accessible to all. The lightweight fabric helps protect you from the wind and features a large zip-up pocket on the back.
This jacket is a no-frills answer to those changeable weather conditions, keeping the cost low and the purpose clear.
Van Rysel Men's bibless shorts RC500
Best strapless bib shorts
Material : 80% polyamide, 20% elasthane | Colours available: Two | Intended use: Road
With cargo shorts becoming increasingly popular, but often with a weighty price tag, Van Rysel has created its own entry-level addition to the market. The external pocket allows for easy access whilst riding, and the shorts are fitted with a high-density chamois and elasticated waistband.
The wide silicone bands on the legs help keep the fabric in place, with moisture-wicking material keeping you cool and comfortable. At an affordable price, these shorts are a great option for those wishing to experience the cargo short sensation without breaking the bank.
Sundried
Another lesser-known brand, Sundried began in the UK, in 2015. Its aim is to create long-lasting, professional quality clothing at a price that people can afford. The majority of its clothing comes in mono-block colours, creating the sleek aesthetic often seen in the more expensive brands. With training bib shorts starting from just £35, however, it is a strong contender for the best budget brand for those wishing to look the part without the top-shelf price tag.
Sundried Summit women's padded bib shorts
Best bib shorts for premium styling at an affordable price
Material: 82% polyester, 18% spandex, 80% nylon, 20% lycra | Colours available: One | Intended use: Road
Part of the Summit range, these bib shorts are there for clocking up those training miles without needing to wear out your top-performance kit. They feature generous suspenders and a silicone gel pad, giving you movement unrestricted by fabric or discomfort. The legs are equipped with wide silicone grippers to keep them steadfast whilst riding and, as one of their cheapest bib sets, boast top-end quality at the low-end cost.
Sundried Cadence men's short sleeve jersey
Best jersey for lightweight
Material: 100% polyester | Colours available: One | Intended use: Road
The Cadence men's jersey fully encapsulates Sundried's premium aesthetic, with simplistic design, flatlock seams and ultra-lightweight fabrics. As part of the brand's pro cycling collection, the jersey incorporates ample storage, with a YKK zipper, and a long-length dropped hem at the back for added coverage.
Though it does not offer UV protection, it still makes for a performance kit that is budget-friendly and targets that premium feel and design.
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?
In short, no. As listed above, many brands aim to offer clothing that is high quality as well as affordable price, so there is no need to compromise. That being said, each piece of clothing will vary slightly and no one brand is a perfect match for everybody, so there will always be an element of trial and error in finding what works for you.
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.
