How to keep warm and sweat when riding in winter

When riding in winter, keeping warm and sweating are two important considerations. Hypothermia and not sweating have a great impact on riding. In addition to affecting sports performance, how do these two warming measures?

Keeping the head warm
The head is an important part of the human body for heat dissipation, so choosing a helmet with good thermal performance is very important. Full helmets have better sealing than half helmets and can better block cold wind. In addition, you can use a cycling headscarf or mask to protect your ears and face.

Clothing selection
When riding in winter, you should choose clothes with windproof functions, and the inner layer should have good breathability and sweat-wicking properties. For example, you can choose quick-drying underwear as the base layer, warm materials such as fleece as the middle layer, and windproof and waterproof cycling clothes as the outer layer.

Keeping hands and feet warm
Hands and feet are parts that make it easy to feel cold, so it is important to choose windproof and warm gloves and cycling shoe covers. You can consider using double-layer gloves, with the inner layer warm and the outer layer windproof. Similarly, the feet also need multiple layers of protection to ensure that they do not feel cold when riding.

Other accessories
You can use a magic bandana to protect your neck, and it can also be worn in a variety of ways to meet different needs. In addition, carrying a thermos can not only replenish water during riding but also help keep the body warm.

Perspiration management
Choose the right fabric
The body generates heat when riding, so perspiration is the key. Choosing fabrics with good breathability and perspiration can help the body expel excess sweat and stay dry.

Layered clothing
Layered clothing can not only provide good warmth but also add or remove clothes in time according to the changes in body temperature during riding. For example, you can wear more clothes when you start riding, and as your body gradually warms up, you can gradually take off the extra clothes.

Pay attention to the rhythm of riding
Avoid high-intensity riding at the beginning, which can help the body gradually adapt to the cold environment and reduce the drop in body temperature caused by excessive sweating.

Replenish water in time.

Even in winter, you need to replenish water in time. Carrying a thermos and drinking hot water can replenish water and help increase body temperature.

Through the above measures, you can effectively keep your body warm when riding in winter and manage perspiration properly to ensure that the riding experience is both comfortable and safe.
