Cycling helmets are the number one priority. The main purpose of the helmet is to protect the head, against collisions, against the impact of branches and leaves, against the impact of flying rocks crushed by cycling, and the helmet with a brim can also protect against the sun. The criteria for judging the quality of a helmet include texture, weight, lining, wearing comfort, breathability, wind resistance effect, etc.

Jerseys. Cycling clothing fabrics are characterized by functionality, protection, fit and comfort, and in colder winters, warm, breathable cycling clothing is usually chosen. When the weather is hot, we must choose good breathability and perspiration, which can quickly expel a large amount of sweat and keep the body surface dry.

Cycling knee pads. The more common is the sports knee pad, which mainly plays a certain compressive role when riding and has a certain support effect on our knee joints. There is also a patella belt sports knee brace, the main function of this sports knee brace is to stabilize our patella and reduce the friction of the meniscus.

Cycling sleeves. Mainly used for sun protection and cold protection; The high-elastic sleeves contain elastane fibers for a snug fit; Breathable sunscreen, which can effectively protect the safety of cycling.

Cycling gloves. There are half fingers and full fingers, and it is best for riders to have both gloves, and then decide which kind of gloves to wear before going out to ride a bike and check the weather.

Cycling glasses. Wearing glasses during riding can prevent flying insects and debris from entering the eyes and prevent strong light from dazzling, and must have the characteristics of safety, protection, comfort and beauty. In addition, from a professional point of view, when choosing cycling glasses, you should pay attention to the function of the lens, dark lenses are better than light lenses, and can effectively block ultraviolet rays.

Riding raincoats. The most important thing about cycling raincoat is waterproof, in addition, it depends on whether the cuffs of the cycling raincoat are tightened in a suitable way, cyclists wear gloves, if the cuffs are not tightened properly, it will affect the overall effect. Finally, look at the zipper, either with a waterproof zipper or with a placket to prevent rain from seeping in.

Cycling Backpack Cycling backpack is a must-have to carry items. It needs to have a comfortable carrying structure, good sweat wicking and breathable function, strong fabric and reliable zipper and fastener structure, in addition to waterproof, fluorescent reflection and other functions are also a reference standard for selection.

I believe that as the riding time increases, riders will definitely buy more and more cycling equipment. Next time, let's talk about vehicle gear.
