Keep your skin safe from the sun: How to choose cycling clothing with sun protection

Cycling is one of the most popular and exciting sports, but it can also be dangerous for your skin if you don't protect it properly from the sun. UV rays can cause sunburn, premature aging, and in severe cases, skin cancer.

According to the World Health Organization, around 3 million new cases of skin cancer are reported worldwide each year, and it is estimated that 1 in 3 cancers diagnosed worldwide is skin cancer. Therefore, it is important to take measures to protect your skin while enjoying your favorite sport.

But how do you choose cycling clothing with sun protection technology?

Here are some tips:

1. Look for the sun protection rating: Most sun-protective clothing has a sun protection rating (SPF). The SPF indicates how long you can be in the sun without burning compared to the time you need without the protective garment. For cycling, look for clothing with an SPF of at least 30.
   
   
2. Choose specific fabrics: Look for cycling clothing that is made of specific fabrics to block UV rays, such as nylon or polyester. These fabrics are denser and therefore block more UV rays.
   
   
3. Look for garments with long sleeves and a high neckline: Long-sleeved garments with a high neckline provide greater coverage and protection against UV rays.
   
   
4. Buy quality products: Choose quality cycling clothing from trusted brands. These garments often have additional technologies such as moisture wicking and breathability.
   
   
5. Check reviews: Before buying a sun protection cycling garment, check reviews from other cyclists to see if the product lives up to sun protection promises.
