Indoor cycling is surging in popularity, and Le Col is responding with Ride Real and Collective Edition clothing.

Today's best turbo trainers are wonderfully sophisticated. Cyclists are spending more time than ever before on rides in their living rooms, at higher intensities. Whether training indoors for an outside event or racing on Zwift, the days of simply using road riding bib shorts for indoor training are gone.

Le Col, the 2020 clothing supplier for the World Tour's Bahrain McLaren, has teamed up with renowned cycling data and device brand Wahoo to create a line of appropriate indoor training kits. wahoo's vast rider data resources allows Le Col to identify exactly what its customers are doing and what they need during indoor training.

Without the benefit of the natural cooling airflow generated by the rolling motion of traditional road riding, Le Col realized that breathability was a major problem that a new series of technical indoor gear would have to solve.

The Le Col x Wahoo Pro Air Jersey features a 3D mesh fabric that manages moisture buildup and optimizes airflow. Riders can match it with a pair of indoor-specific bib shorts with increased padding to target the areas where riders feel the most pressure on stationary training bikes. These bib shorts also have excellent breathability and moisture wicking properties.

For riders who are at risk from the cold when moving from the car to the gym entrance, there is the option of the Le Col x Wahoo warm-up jersey. This provides snipping cold protection when you have to ride some distance outdoors, but maintains the breathability and fit ergonomics of a traditional summer jersey when you are on an indoor trainer.

The pricing structure for the Le Col x Wahoo indoor range starts at £120 for the Pro Air jersey and £130 for the long-sleeved warm-up jersey. Indoor bib shorts are £150.

Both the Ride Real and Collective Edition variants of these three new garments are similarly priced. The only difference is that Le Corre's Ride Real items have more subtle color variations, while the Collective Edition kits feature bolder shades and graphic designs.
