25 May 2019THE SUMMER OUTFIT
Whether you’re cultivating tan lines while enjoying a gelato or leaning to the extreme in a criterium, here’s our recommended outfit for riding in summer, from top to toe.
Eyes up
Bright sun casts deep shadows. Polarised lenses make it easier to see between areas of light and shade, and glasses protect your eyes at speed from dry, dusty roads.
Shop eyewear
LIGHTEN UP
Super light Flyweight jerseys and bib shorts keep you cool on the hottest days, wicking quickly to keep you cool and dry as you make the most of the better weather.
Shop Jerseys
CAST A SHADOW
Antibacterial tape in our Pro Team and Lightweight caps stop sweat getting in your eyes, wicking and drying quickly, and the peak protects you from the sun’s glare.
Shop Headwear
Packed Protection
If you’re starting early or likely to be out late, carry a lightweight, packable layer in your pocket for the times when the temperature dips.
