Are you ready for the winter cycling challenge?
Taiwan's winter climate is changeable, from the wet and cold north to the dry and cold central and southern parts, and each ride may face completely different challenges. When a cold wave hits and the temperature drops sharply, how to maintain a proper body temperature while avoiding overheating becomes a core issue of concern to every rider. Especially in a damp and cold environment, sweat retention can easily lead to a drop in body temperature, which in turn affects cycling performance.
The key to dressing in layers
1. Inner layer: perspiration wicking and quick drying are the basis
- The main function of the inner layer is to wick away sweat and dry quickly, avoiding the feeling of dampness and coldness caused by sweat retention during exercise.
- It is recommended to choose a close-fitting and highly breathable base layer to keep the skin dry while providing flexibility.
2. Middle layer: warmth and breathability
- The middle layer is responsible for providing warmth while also being breathable to help regulate body temperature.
- A long-sleeved winter jersey is an ideal mid-layer option, providing warmth while reducing wind resistance.
- If you encounter a large temperature difference, you can also choose a short-sleeved cycling jacket with a thin windproof vest to flexibly respond to temperature changes.
3. Outer layer: windproof and splashproof
- The outer layer protects against the elements, such as cold wind and drizzle.
- The windproof windbreaker not only provides extra protection, but the two-way zipper design also makes it easier to regulate body temperature. It can be put on and taken off quickly when going downhill to avoid loss of body heat.
4. Accessories supplement: full warmth for head, hands and feet
- Head: Use a small hat or bandana to prevent heat loss from your head.
- Hands: Long winter gloves can keep fingers warm and prevent stiff fingers from affecting handlebar control
- Feet: Thermal socks can effectively keep your feet warm and are the key to improving the overall warmth effect.
