Product Information

The range consists of lotions, pump spray, creams and continuous spray in SPF15, 20, 30 and 50. We’ve tested the P20 SPF30 cream that’s been dermatologically tested for sensitive skin and is also vegan friendly. Wearing a helmet might initially seem safe and comfortable — I thought so too. However, in the years that I’ve been into biking, I realized that you don’t always feel at ease by just wearing a helmet. Some cyclists find it necessary to make frequent stops during their bike rides to stop sweat getting into their eyes. This can be a very irritating issue to face when cycling. Some campgrounds are brightly lit, and those lights can sear right through the thin walls of your tent and make it hard to sleep. Also, if you’d like to catch some extra z’s on a rest day, an eye mask can help you relax enough for a daytime nap. 7. Hanky Putting on a vented helmet can provide breathability for a cyclist’s head while riding, reducing sweat levels. A vented helmet will provide airflow to cool the cyclist’s scalp as they ride. The vents on the helmet also promote sweat evaporation, which decreases the amount of sweat dripping towards the face and eyes.

The other way to wear a cycling bandana is tied around the top of the head. When worn in this way a bandana can help to keep your head warm and protect your ears from the wind. The Skin Cancer Foundation states that the “SPF number tells you how long the sun’s UV radiation would take to redden your skin when using the product exactly as directed versus the amount of time without any sunscreen.”Now, if you do make the rookie mistake of confusing your snot-rag bandana with your headband bandana, don’t fret: there’s a chance that mucus is really nourishing for your hair, and you’ve just stumbled upon a DIY beauty secret. At least, that’s what I told myself the first (and only, I swear) time it happened to me. Sunglasses are another sensible option, helping to protect your eyes against the sun’s harmful rays as well as doing a stellar job of keeping debris and insects at bay. What this looks and smells like is a non-greasy cream with a clean, fresh scent. I’m not sure if this is the Edelweiss at work here but close your eyes and you can almost smell the crisp Alpine air - for me it was the best scented sunscreen on test. Premax is made in Australia, which given both the intensity of the sun down under and the average Aussie’s propensity for spending as much time as possible outside, inspired plenty of confidence. And its Sunscreen For Sport SPF 50+ didn't let me down.

Cycling bandanas are designed to be windproof, helping to minimise the effect cold winds can have you your face when out riding. However, the foam pads will wear off after a while the more they are worn. Old foam pads inside a helmet will lose their absorbency, and the cyclist will find that more sweat is dripping into their face than usual.Sweat dripping into your eyes during a bike ride can be frustrating, annoying, and distracting. Plus, it’s dangerous. That’s because sweat can hurt your eyes and potentially cause blurry vision. I found myself using the roll-on in conjunction with the Pelotan spray, using the former to apply the screen to my nose and ears with precision, while the latter covered larger areas such as my arms as legs. The coconut aroma appeared stronger when using the roll-on but as with the spray I found it to be a pleasant one. Although these strips may not provide the most aesthetically pleasing solution, they’ll provide a practical solution to sweat getting into your eyes on a bike ride. The adhesive strips are also lightweight and compact to bring on the go. 6. Dress Lightly Remember that it should fit properly under the helmet, but you must also loosen the helmet straps to ensure that it doesn’t create uncomfortable pressure points. On a side note, the rules for cycling state that you shouldn’t wear caps when you’re not riding. Why Wear a Cycling Cap Or Bandana Under the Helmet? With this in mind Piz Buin Mountain have created what it describes as a “innovative formulation combining advanced UVA/UVA sun filters and an extract of Edelweiss that helps to protect your skin from the sun and long-term skin damage. To deal with skin dehydration, Piz Buin says the cream has been “enriched with a Cold Shield Complex'', which is said to provide “long-lasting moisturisation.” It’s also designed to be both water and sweat resistant. Finally it’s rated SPF 30 but there’s also a 50+ available. The claimed protection time is up to 10 hours, which is the same as Riemann P20.

As the name suggests, Peloton makes sun protection products that are specifically designed for cyclists (including the EF Education WorldTour team). Most bandanas are made of materials that provide greater resistance to UV penetration. Thus, you can effectively protect your head from strong sunlight and harmful UV rays. This is especially important in midsummer. Therefore, it’s good to have a proper bandana when cycling in summer.

I’d suggest wearing a head wrap, bandana, or cycling cap underneath a bike helmet whenever you’re riding — be it under the snow, scorching sun, hail, or rain. Riemann P20 was developed in the late 1970s to help protect sensitive skin against the sun. The formula is based on a ‘triple protection’ approach. It’s designed to be long-lasting, durable for up to 10 hours in the sun, highly water resistant and with high UVA protection. This trio has obvious advantages for cyclists, given that you're likely to be out on the bike for long periods while working up a sweat.

I also carry two bandanas, though I like then a bit larger than standard issue, so I sew my own from cotton quilting fabric. This means that a sunscreen labeled SPF 30 will protect you from burning thirty times longer than if you were wearing no sunscreen at all.By wearing a bandana or cycling cap, you can stay protected from harsh weather elements throughout the ride. Most of these caps are designed to prevent rain and hail from reaching the eyes so that you are adequately protected from inclement weather elements. Moreover, they keep you shielded from the intense UV exposure while riding throughout the year. Help You In Comfort
