How to Match a Cycling Kit
Matching jersey and bib shorts, or plain black bibs that go with anything: how to put together a cycling kit that looks right.
In this post
A kit is a jersey and bib shorts that belong together. You can buy them as a matching set, or build one around plain black bibs. Here's how to do either.
Option 1: a matching set
Many of our jerseys have bib shorts made to match. A few of them:
- Season One: the Wave jersey and Wave bib shorts, and the same for Geo, Victory, Modern and Stained Glass. See Season One bib shorts.
- Weekend Warrior: the digital camo jersey and bib shorts.
- The Patriot: the flag jersey and bib shorts.
- Kitty Pineapple: the jersey and bib shorts.
- Corbah 23 and RedRide: the Corbah 23 jersey with its bibs, and the RedRide jersey with its bibs.
Option 2: plain black bibs
Black bib shorts go with any jersey, from a plain one to the loudest print. The Stealth, Classics Midnight and Equipe bibs are all plain black. Read how to choose black bib shorts.
Finish it off
Some kits go further. The GC kit has a wind vest, gloves, a cap and sun sleeves to match, and the Prime kit has a gilet, cap and shoe covers. Riding with a partner? See matching kits for couples.
Getting the fit right
Jersey and bibs should both fit close, with no flapping fabric. If you're between sizes, or you like a little more room, size up. Our size guide has the full charts. If you get it wrong, keep it: within 15 days of delivery you can order the same item in another size at about 20–60% off.
