Summer is the perfect season to enjoy cycling, explore new routes and embark on new adventures on the bike. Still, we should never forget about safety and being seen on the road. This is where the bike lights play an essential role, especially the rear ones, as well as the color of your clothes and accessories, most importantly your cycling jersey and helmet. When it comes to the helmet, keep in mind that it has to be either white or bright-colored to be seen in the dark, and make sure it has good ventilation when riding in the summer.
Now, speaking of cycling jerseys, they offer comfort and style, but they should also increase road visibility. Dark colors, especially black, might be classy and suit your preferences, but they will make you less visible to other vehicles, particularly on dimly lit roads.
That is the reason why we recommend using more vibrant, bright colors at least, if you don’t like neon or fluorescent options. In addition, it is crucial not to use certain colors that could make you blend in with your surroundings. For example, if you live in areas full of greenery, avoid wearing green-colored jerseys, or, if you do want to wear green, make sure it is a brighter shade such as the Race Flecha. Still, it’s best to choose colors such as red, orange or white. If your surroundings have more ochre, pale yellow tones, try to wear blue, red, orange or bright red cycling jerseys.
As you can see, some shades are quite versatile and suit all kinds of environments. We will now introduce a few color ideas taken from our wide variety of Siroko cycling jerseys for women and for men.
WHITE
This color is perfect for the summertime, never goes out of style and is always a staple in our collection, like our Race High Road cycling jersey for women. This jersey is made with biodegradable materials and is part of our new season collection, among other designs you can find here.
For men, you can find many white cycling jersey options in this section, such as our M3 Blanche (ultralightweight and highly breathable, ideal for extreme temperatures) or our classic M2 Nevada.
RED AND ORANGE
Some examples for men could be the M2 Pimorent, followed by the SRX Pro Altea and rounded off with the outstanding M2 Flèche. You can take a look at our whole selection here.
For women, the new SRX Pro Peche comes in a trendy, bright coral shade. And, if you’re looking for a more intense color, the biodegradable Race Madison jersey in a deep red shade is perfect for visibility.
BLUE
For women, two stunning new designs are here, ready to make you stand out on the road: the M3 Plav and the biodegradable Race Dots.
For men, both the M2 Teide and the M2 Faro are also two stunning blue-colored jerseys that will help you be more visible.
EYE-CATCHING DESIGNS
Last but not least, here are some recommendations for jerseys that feature a combination of different colors, shapes and gradients to increase their visibility, not only on the road but also while getting yourself a refreshment in the middle of the route.

In conclusion: Your safety is our priority. As you probably already know, at Siroko all of our cycling jerseys, bib shorts, bib tights, and the vast majority of our accessories feature reflective detailing. This is crucial just as using proper lights on the bike. Of course, fashion and style are important as well, but being safe is always paramount. Don’t risk your own safety just to be able to wear black. Choose a color combination that guarantees both style and protection. Paint your summer in colors.
