AGU Core Cycling Jersey II Essential review

The AGU Core Cycling Jersey II Essential for men is a great choice for any cyclist who needs a comfortable cycling jersey. It has a comfortable fit so you don’t have to have the body of a pro cyclist to fit in. The cycling shirt is therefore not very tight around the body. With the silicone gripper around the waist, the cycling shirt always stays well positioned and does not creep up.

Material

The cycling jersey is made of lightweight fabric that efficiently wicks away sweat, keeping you cool and dry even during the most grueling bike rides. The mesh side panels and armpit pockets of the shirt provide extra ventilation in the places where you need it most.

Zipper & back pockets

With a full-length zipper and three back pockets, this cycling jersey offers plenty of storage space for your cycling essentials.

Size advice Agu Core Cycling Shirt II Essential

With the AGU Core cycling shirt II Essential you choose a shirt with a regular fit, so you don’t want this shirt to be too tight. We therefore recommend ordering one size larger than your normal size, because the shirts do run small.

Features AGU Core Cycling Jersey II Essential

  • 100% Polyester Interlock
  • Mesh for extra ventilation
  • Regular fit
  • A perfect cycling shirt for your daily cycling rides

AGU Prime Bibshort II Essential Review

Blog Introduction: Are you a cyclist looking for good bib shorts? Then look no further than the AGU Prime Bibshort II Essential. It is the perfect choice for men who want both comfort and performance when cycling. Let’s dive into what makes these bib shorts so special

The AGU Prime Bibshort II Essential is made of 100% recycled greensphere polyester, which reduces the impact on the environment. The bib shorts are designed to be incredibly durable, so they will last for many years to come.

Fit

The pre-shaped panels provide a better fit and breathable mesh bibs do not form pressure points and do not shift while cycling. The flatlock seams are barely noticeable and prevent marks in your skin while cycling. The Lycra cuff at the bottom of the shorts ensures a nice tight fit and prevents the shorts from riding up while cycling.

Which pad does the AGU Prime Bibshort II Essential have?

The own Red 120 chamois is incorporated in the AGU Prime Bibshort II Essential. This chamois is used by the professional riders of Team Jumbo-Visma and BEAT Cycling and offers both comfort and support during long rides. This makes it a good choice for cyclists of all levels – hobby cyclists and professional cyclists alike! We regularly cycle rides longer than 100 kilometers with the AGU Prime Bibshort II Essential without any problems.

How does AGU cycling clothing fit?

Because this is not Italian cycling clothing, you can usually choose your cycling clothing from AGU normal size handling. In contrast to Italian cycling clothing, AGU cycling clothing falls not smaller by default. However, if you do not need cycling clothing that fits tightly around the body, you can consider purchasing a size larger. It is advisable to always keep an eye on the reviews of other cyclists per type of cycling clothing, because the size sometimes differs per item of clothing and we are also regularly told that AGU clothing also runs small.

AGU cycling clothing is for sale at the following web shops, among others

History AGU

In 1966, the JAKO company merges with two more wholesalers from Alkmaar. The new name will be AGU, Alkmaar Wholesale Union. There are currently 14 employees working there. At that time, the company limited itself to trading parts and accessories for bicycles and mopeds. In 1976, Peter and Jaap Van den Kommer succeeded their father as owners of AGU. The big breakthrough in cycling clothing comes for AGU when it wins the award for ‘best rain suit’. The prize, which is awarded by the then minister Westerterp, gets the rain suit because of the details and finish. In 1978 cycling clothing becomes an important part of AGU’s business operations. They sponsor Cees Stam, Steven Rooks, the Panasonic team and Leontien van Moorsel, among others. In 1996 they sponsor the Rabobank cycling team. The philosophy ‘designed to feel good’ is reflected in the comfort and finish of AGU cycling clothing. AGU currently produces cycling clothing, cycling shoes, gloves, panniers, sunglasses and rainwear for cycling.
