Best Black Friday cycling clothing deals 2024: Early Black Friday deals on helmets, shoes and apparel

Black Friday & Cyber Monday are ideally placed in the year to pick up deals on cycling clothing. It comes at the changing of seasons and when many of us think about swapping bib shorts for winter jackets. Although the actual days are just over a week away, these early deals are already live at some of the biggest cycling clothing retailers.

Maybe you were inspired by Tadej's tufts, riding off into the distance and fancying one of the best helmets or can't get enough of Gee's classic white framed sunglasses. After a pretty mild autumn here in the UK, the slightly cooler weather might have just caught you out, now you require some winter gloves or a new toasty thermal baselayer. Whatever it is you are looking for this Black Friday and Cyber Monday, myself and the Cycling Weekly deal hunters are here throughout to bring you all the best cycling clothing deals.

There are cracking deals to be had already from Endura, Castelli, Specialized and Showers Pass. The big shock of the early deals is the announcement that Rapha has 25% off sitewide, a rarity and one that should not be missed.

In previous years, alongside cycling clothing, Smartwatches for cycling have been really popular during Black Friday. There are some cracking deals already to be had like this Garmin Forerunner 945 with over $300 off. Don't forget Black Friday is the 29th of November this year, followed by Cyber Monday on the 2nd of December you can find all the best bike deals over at our hub.

7mesh Industries Mk3 Cargo Bibs: Was $229.95, now $183.96 | Save 20% at Competitive Cyclist

By no means is this a big discount, especially in the grand scheme of Black Friday, it's just so rare to see 7Mesh clothing at a discount. It's noteworthy because the Mk3 Cargo Bibs came close to beating out the Assos Mille GTC Kiespanzer in our best cargo bibs test. So, at nearly $90 off the Assos price with this discount, they represent far greater value.

Smith Optics Triad Mips Helmet: Was $190, now $114 | Save 40% at Smith Optics

While we are yet to test the Triad, Hannah was a big fan of Smith Optics Trace Mips when she had that in for test last year. While the Triad looks less vented then the Trace it actually has one more, making it 19 vents over the Trace's 18. It's a much slimmer, more streamline design which should go down well with those looking to minimise their drag.

Tips on how to buy cycling clothing online

Here are the Cycling Weekly team's top four tips for buying cycling clothing online this Black Friday and Cyber Monday:

• Check the size guide - it is so obvious but its so easy to fall in the to the trap of always buying the same size, especially when it is a brand you are familiar with. Different styles of cycling garments offer different fits, so check your measurements.
• Read the reviews - More and more brands are offering guides as to whether people thing a garments sizes big or small. Even if they don't its likely people will mention this frequently in reviews.
• Check the brands other reviews - If what you are looking at doesn't have many reviews, check to see if the brands other garments do. Its likely if other similar garments size a particular way or are low quality, the one your looking at might be too.
• Be flexible - Look out for discounts on brands you might not have otherwise have considered. Black Friday and Cyber Monday is a great time to pick up a deal, but it might not always be who you were looking for.
