CLOTHING FOR HOT WEATHER

Ideally, the hotter the day, the more ventilation our skin needs. And even thin clothing restricts ventilation, especially when sweat dampened. Meaning that the less clothing we wear in hot weather the better -not just for comfort but for our well being.

But hot weather is frequently associated with strong sunshine and this means a high level of UV radiation too. So our needs of clothing for hot weather include protection against the UV rays from the sun light.

In very hot and sunny weather we recommend to wear a loose fit well ventilated long sleeve light polyester jersey and cycling shorts. The long sleeves protect your arms' skin from hours of exposure to the UV radiation. The loose fit design and ventilated fabric ensures adequate ventilation and permits a layer of fresh air circulating over your skin.

During your rides the key is to protect the parts of your skin exposed long hours to the sun radiation . A good approach is to attach a piece of fabric big enough to the edge of your helmet to cover your ears and neck.
