Weather-specific clothing
Weather-specific clothing
While there’s specialist clothing available for every type of weather condition it’s when the elements start to conspire against us that good kit really comes into its own.
Although not an item of clothing, in the heat one of the most essential items for any rider will be suntan cream. Easy to forget and something that will remind you of your mistake for days afterwards – so make sure if the sun is going to shine then you have it packed.
On the flip side windchill and rain can be a real killer if you’re not prepared. A quality seam-sealed waterproof is one of the best investments that you can make as a cyclist. An item of clothing that is easily stowed in a rear pocket and can keep you dry, or warm on a mountain descent, is absolutely priceless and should never be underestimated.
