Heat can turn a pleasant ride into an exhausting ordeal. At Wilma, we understand the unique challenges female cyclists face when it comes to riding in hot weather. That's why we've compiled the best tips to help you stay cool and comfortable, even when the temperature rises.
1. Choose the Right Hours to Ride
To avoid the highest temperatures of the day, plan your outings for early morning or late afternoon. These times of day are generally cooler, allowing you to enjoy your ride without suffering from excessive heat.
2. Hydrate Yourself Properly
Hydration is essential for any cyclist, but even more so in hot weather. Drink water regularly before, during, and after your ride. For this, there's nothing better than our Wilma water bottles , 100% made in France, designed to provide optimal hydration. Our bottles are made from high-quality materials, guaranteeing great durability.
3. Wear Breathable Clothing
The Wilma clothing range is designed to provide maximum ventilation and effective moisture wicking. Our summer jerseys feature mesh panels under the arms to improve ventilation and moisture wicking. The materials used are very fine, providing a second-skin effect that ensures unparalleled comfort. All our products are made with high-quality technical materials, specially selected for their ability to maintain freshness and comfort during your outings.
4. Use a Quality Sunscreen
Protect your skin from harmful UV rays by applying a water-resistant sunscreen with a high SPF. For extra protection, try our super lightweight Cesaria long-sleeved jersey with SPF 50 protection. This jersey is designed to offer maximum sun protection while being extremely breathable and comfortable, perfect for long, sunny days on the road.
5. Adapt Your Pace
It's important to adjust your effort according to the heat. Ride at a more moderate pace to avoid overheating and take regular breaks in the shade to recover.
To conclude
Riding in hot weather can be challenging, but with the right gear and strategies, you can continue to enjoy your passion for cycling while staying safe and comfortable. At Wilma, we're committed to providing high-quality clothing and accessories that help you perform at your best, even in extreme conditions.
