Cycling Jerseys will protect you in falls during a Triathlon
Wearing cycling jerseys isn’t mandatory during your
Triathlon but they can help you in a number of different ways:
• Bike jerseys can protect you shoulders and other parts of your body should you
take a tumble during the race.
• Bike jerseys can protect your skin from the sun during the race. You can even
buy jerseys that have SPF protection built into them. A regular light color
shirt has an SPF of 5 or 10. But a shirt that’s been protected will have an SPF
of 30. That means you can stay out 30 times longer with the shirt on than you
could without it before you experience any burning from the sun.
• Jerseys designed for cycling often have a pocket built into the back to hold
snacks and water for you.
• High performance jerseys will often have better ventilation from either the
material used or the design of the jersey. This will help to keep you cool and
dry during your cycling event.
Cycling Jerseys Help You Hold It Together
When looking for your jersey, the best thing is to go to the store and try it
on. Different brands will wear differently and you also need to consider whether
the shirt is supposed to be form fitting or not. Cannondale, Bell, Giordana, and
Pearl all make great jerseys for you to wear during your
cycling event.
