Benefits of technology

[0009]One object of the present invention is to provide a cycling garment that improves the comfort level of a cyclist wearing cycling garment when the cyclist is either in a riding posture holding a bicycle handlebar or walking.

Problems solved by technology

Consequently, the sleeves are pulled back towards the shoulder and become tight, thereby making it uncomfortable to wear.
