Rapha & London's Cycle Sisters Debut a Cycling Hijab & Other Gear
British cycling brand Rapha has collaborated with London's Cycle Sisters to create performance cycling gear specifically for Muslim women — the collection includes a cycling hijab, a jersey, and trousers. The Women's Long Jersey and the Women's Riding Pants with Pad cater to the needs of female cyclists seeking modest yet functional attire.
The Women's Cycling Hijab rounds off this capsule. Crafted from 100% recycled polyester, the silhouette is designed for a variety of cycling and outdoor conditions. Key features include full coverage for the head and neck, a low-profile fit, breathable and sweat-wicking lightweight materials, and a mesh panel for targeted breathability. The cycling hijab can be worn in mild to hot conditions, fitting comfortably under a helmet or cap, and offers a tailored design for a close fit around the face.
