Would this be good to use on summer cycling jerseys and bib-shorts? What about cold weather cycling gear like bib-tights that have WindStopper on the front and a fleecey material on the inside or a cycling jacket with a WIndtex front?

Hi Dave! As Kirk mentioned, Nikwax Base Wash is designed for anything that you wear next-to-skin. It works great for cycling jerseys, shorts and tights. One thing to note, though, is that in addition to removing odor Base Wash also increases wicking ability. So, you don't want to use it on anything that is designed to be waterproof, since wicking and waterproof-ness don't play well together. But go ahead, throw your stinkiest cycling stuff at our Base Wash, it cleans gently and removes embedded odor like a dream! Thanks for your question. Stay Dry!

This Base wash is best for next to skin layers. I would not use on outer layers like your cycling Jacket.. as it promotes wicking. For your cycling jacket use tech wash. But for your shorts, shirts , socks it works awesome and get the stink out.
