Drawstring waistbands on shorts and tights instead of elastic.
What is the issue you most came across with your cycling apparel, and how would you like them to be improved?
What is the issue you have with your current cycling apparel, is it the chamois not supporting long time? Or the workmanship not good and cause friction, or the materiel not quick dry enough so not feeling good? Feel free to share with us here and tell us how would you like them to improve.

#1: Leggings that will not stay up!
All of the decent kit being designed for 12 year old waifs?
As a 'Clydesdale' (6' 5" 235lbs) , it's very difficult to find 'comfortable' cycling clothing.
Some manufacturers have 'club' fit, which in some cases works, but it's rare. I would suggest making some decent jerseys in a "Club +" for us bigger fellas.

Stuff is way too expensive!
Thanks Peter, I think this issue has fixed on most of the brands now?Drawstring waistbands on shorts and tights instead of elastic.
Thanks Duriel, do you mean the legging cannot use for longer time or longer rides?#1: Leggings that will not stay up!
Got it, so it is difficult to find suitable size for bigger size cyclists. Understood.All of the decent kit being designed for 12 year old waifs?

Indeed.Stuff is way too expensive!
All the cyclist here, if you had the chance to see this post, kindly share with us your issues with your current cycling apparels, thank you a lot!
I've got multiple pairs of recent vintage Pearl Izumi and Castelli shorts; neither has a drawstring.Thanks Peter, I think this issue has fixed on most of the brands now?
It would be nice if somebody made jerseys that had side pockets, not just rear pockets.
I dress in layers, as I ride where the temp changes a lot from start to finish. I have sleeves/pullon/off leg tights, which are removed at the first stop/break. I have the most problem with leggings, from ankle to upper thigh, they seem pretty tight but, they are installed under my bike shorts but always start slipping down. Then the tops end up sliding down with the top of the legging above the knee, with open skin.Thanks Duriel, do you mean the legging cannot use for longer time or longer rides?

I have several jerseys where the pull tab on the zipper has broken off.
The summer clothes shrink over the winter. But that shrink is not as bad as when I stop riding for a couple years. I should not that this is not specific to cycling apparel tho.
Same here!I have several jerseys where the pull tab on the zipper has broken off.
An unobtrusive pocket on cycling shorts would be nice. Close fitting, that wouldn't be noticed when not in use, on the outer thigh or small of the back, that would stretch enough to hold something the size of a cell phone snug enough that it wouldn't shift around.
As an insulin pump wearing diabetic I would find it much more convenient to keep the pump there than in a jersey pocket.

A recently purchased pair of Pearl Izumi bib shorts has a side pocket on each lower leg. I was surprised, it's a nice feature.An unobtrusive pocket on cycling shorts would be nice.
We are going to have that kind of bib shorts very soon as well, it is called cargo bib shorts,An unobtrusive pocket on cycling shorts would be nice.

I think many of other brands already have it as well.1 - 20 of 50 Posts
