A cycling shirt is cut long at the back to suit the bent-forward position in professional cycling. Any pockets on the shirt are positioned on the back section as pockets at the front would get in the way, and would also tend to spill their contents. The zipper on men’s cycling shirts is usually made extra long so that the rider can open up the cycling shirt when he gets too hot.

The cycling shirt is usually a nice tight fit to to cut down on any air resistance. Cycling shirts are made from a special material which is designed to wick (or absorb) moisture from the riders skin, thus keeping them cooler and considerably more comfortable than if they were wearing a standard shirt.
