Why seamless cycling apparel makes all the difference

During the summer months, every bike ride puts high demands on your gear: sweat, constant movement, and long distances can quickly push traditional seams to their limits. But thanks to modern technology, there's a smart solution to this issue.

When seams become a weak spot

As the temperatures rise, so do the expectations for sportswear. It needs to be lightweight, breathable, and comfortable—but above all, it shouldn't chafe.

Especially during intense rides, seams can cause real trouble. They rub against sensitive skin, create pressure points, and can lead to painful irritation on long distances. This is particularly true in high-friction areas like the seat zone or underarms, where even a single seam can become a potential weak spot.

Seam-free comfort thanks to ultrasound technology

Whether you're road cycling, trail running, or hiking—your clothing has to perform. That’s why Löffler developed hotBOND®, a technology that replaces traditional seams with ultrasonically welded joints.

How hotBOND® enhances your cycling experience

Whether it’s a short ride or a long-distance tour, hotBOND® apparel puts an end to chafing. Thanks to high-stretch materials, you enjoy full freedom of movement in every situation. The tear-resistant and durable construction ensures reliable performance, even under heavy use. And the best part? Every piece is 100% Made in Austria, manufactured directly at Löffler’s headquarters in Ried im Innkreis.

The noticeable difference? Apparel with hotBOND® technology fits like a second skin—with zero chafing and zero restrictions.

Two highlights for spring and summer

These jerseys feature a clean, sporty design with an aerodynamic focus. The slim fit provides a snug, performance-ready silhouette that moves with you without feeling restrictive. Since there are no irritating seams, the overall feel remains smooth and comfortable.

What’s more, reflective elements enhance your visibility in low-light conditions—a big safety bonus for early rides or evening returns.

Looking for the right shorts to go with your jersey? Check out the Bike Tights Hotbond RF SQL. They combine seamless comfort with high visibility and an ergonomic design. The SQlab-XP/6 pro seat pad offers extra support on long rides, minimizing pressure points and enhancing your overall experience.

Sustainability with a system: Löffler brings transparency to supply chains

Löffler doesn’t just talk about sustainability—they live it. As one of the few manufacturers still producing primarily in Austria and Europe, they take transparency seriously.

Each product features a QR code on the hangtag that lets you trace its journey—from yarn to finished garment.

This system is already in place for many collections. If you care about ethical production and environmental responsibility, Löffler offers a truly credible solution.
