Look for the "Made in U.S.A." in the Descriptions

Made in USA is an important part of our apparel as we have made a commitment to production in America. We support American factories and hire local staff. In addition, we purchase our materials from the highest quality vendors available to us. We support several American fabric knitting mills and employ our own factory in our own state of Pennsylvania. Some of our cyclewear products are imported, but most are made in U.S. Our goal at Aero Tech Designs is to produce the best possible cycling products to serve our customers who want comfort. We sell comfort on the bike and have been selling products online with great success. For the past few years we have consistently achieved brand loyalty and retained our customers for repeat purchases.

We are dedicated to making high quality, technically designed bicycling products that create brand loyalty and repeat customers. Aero Tech Designs has a great staff of experienced cyclists to put together a collection of clothing that has variety with form and function. Our founder, Cathy Schnaubelt Rogers has been designing and manufacturing cyclewear for over thirty years for many big brands including: Descente, Bike Nashbar, Terry Bicycles, Head, Frank Shorter, Giant and many other companies. We dressed Lance Armstrong when he was a rookie in Texas. We are experts!

New to Cycling Apparel?

If you want an overview of the specifics of cycling apparel and the utility they provide, follow the link to a brief overview of cycling apparel. We go over the most popular features in today's cycling apparel market. We will give you the essential details that make cycling apparel a worthwhile investment. Not all cycling apparel is spandex and skin tights. There are plenty of choices that are loose-fitting and normal-looking. Commuter clothing, for example, is very high-end performance gear yet appears to be regular daily clothing. You can also get the details on bike jerseys by reading about the wicking fabrics we use and the features that make them so popular with cyclists. We have been selling cycling apparel for over 30 years. Some aspects of the cycling apparel business never change. Namely, your desire to ride in comfort. We strive to create cycling apparel that is invisible.  Good cycling clothing fits well and stretches with movement. The fabrics resist abrasion and comfort the ischial bones on the bicycle saddle.

Looking for the Best Chamois Pads

While there are many variables to consider when selecting cycling apparel, one factor to consider is the chamois pad sewn into the saddle area. There are many opinions on what shape is best, what the thickness should be, and what material makes the chamois; foam or gel. Molded chamois pad construction is a one seamless piece design. Two-piece chamois designs use stitched-on side panels, which gives the pad a great fit. Both are good options, and the debate about which is best is up to the user. Given all the types of bicycle riders and all of the personal preferences within each of these cycling domains, it is no wonder we have to spend much time looking into our options to understand the choices available to us as cyclists. As the chamois pads evolve into a high-end science, the basic idea of a soft ride will never go out of style.
