Indoor only kit brand idō has released high performance cycling garments that are centred around improving indoor cycling experiences in three core areas: heat management, rider comfort and free movement.
The idō Jersey (£90) is made from Shoji Mesh fabric that the brand claims is breathable and fast drying.
idō says the close fitting cut has been designed to “react to the movements of your body” in order to provide adaptability.
Functionality has not been sacrificed, with the inclusion of a side pocket for easy access to devices—this could prove useful for using power ups on virtual platforms such as Zwift or switching tunes.

idō’s Bib Shorts (£120) feature “graduated compression to optimise muscle support” in combination with “lightweight woven fabrics to improve moisture management and regulate temperature control”.
As well as the moisture wicking qualities of these shorts, the brand claims the chamois has “enhanced air permeability” to cope with rigours of indoor cycling—both of these qualities are very welcome, but the extent of it’s success will have to be determined after some thorough sweaty testing.

Reminiscent of ‘Wedu/We do’…..suspiciously so…. Hope they have a good lawyer.
I know people mock the over
I know people mock the over-niching of cycling kit – gravel socks and so on – but I get drenched in sweat while training indoors despite wearing my thinnest lightweight summer kit and having a big tower fan blowing. If they can manage to make some well fitting gear that ‘airs’ better than outdoor kit (no worries about pockets or crash resistance), good on them.

I normally take my jersey off after 5 minutes, since I am alone in my cellar, I don’t feel the need to wear a jersey that isn’t needed for warmth. I doubt their indoor kit airs better than that. or you could go for the string base layer approach.
Whats wrong with a pair of
Whats wrong with a pair of “worn too thin for public consumption” shorts and a mesh baselayer?
Or is it just me?

Nothing, as long as the shorts aren’t so worn the pad is knackered – and you’re comfortable with a mesh baselayer (wherever you are)… that’s what I tend to use by default – but what’s wrong with choice, especially if you don’t already have ‘worn too thin’ shorts or want something more suited/better quality/longer lasting ?
Yeah I use some of the bib
Yeah I use some of the bib shorts that I had from a few years ago, not especially worn out, just not quite as nice as my ‘good kit’ and some mesh base layers that were a bargain from Chapeau in their sale (doown to about £5 each) and bought an extra fan that’s set up behind me as well as the two in front. The fan was a whole lot less expensive than most of the indoor kit, but if it keeps people riding indoors then each to their own I suppose.
Does anyone wear jerseys
Does anyone wear jerseys indoors ?
A cheap aldi mesh base layer is what I wear. Wash it in the shower and it’s good to go the next day.
I’d not put any tech into a jersey pocket either. It’d sweat itself to death in a week.
