When summer is in full force, knowing what to wear is crucial for enjoying your rides. No more wondering if you are riding in a jacket or short sleeves; you know whatever you wear has to be light and breathable, not to mention protective against chafing, the sun, and those pesky mosquitoes. Lightweight cotton and moisture-wicking synthetics are great for keeping cool in hot weather. These fabrics wick away moisture and prevent heat from absorbing into your skin. Choosing riding clothes that boast SPF50 protection is great for preventing harmful UVB and UVA rays from your sensitive skin while also saving you time from having to cover more than you need to with sunscreen. Anti-odor properties are also an important aspect of your summer wardrobe. The oils and proteins from your sweat react to naturally occurring bacteria on your skin, often creating a smell that permeates clothing. Look for riding clothes that promote anti-odor fabrics, which keep your clothes smelling fresh every wash.
