Solar shirt jersey's

[Pedal Wench]

Ned Overend's company has an SPF 50 bike jersey. My BF swears by his.

I'm computer illiterate, and couldn't find that boure jersey. Can you give me the item number or name or link or something?

Dang. I'm so pathetic....

No worries:

Here's one - http://www.boure.com/8604.html

And here's another -- http://www.boure.com/8626L.html But this one if for the Iron Horse Bike Race, where they race the train from Durango to Silverton - gotta do that one next year, for sure!

They only seem to make them in the men's cuts, but it's such a small company that you might be able to request one in a women's cut.

Thank you! I will email them and ask for women's cuts. I love my Kokatat SPF shirt, but it does tend to flap in the wind a bit.

(If enough of us do that, will they make it?....)

Hi Resi,

I live in a very sunny climate so I know exactly what you're talking about. I'm always looking for clothing that will protect me from the sun.

Terry makes the Peggy Sue Summerweight Jersey. It seems to be perfect in every way except for the fabric, which is pretty but not really my style. I have the De Soto arm coolers you mentioned and they've worked well for me. They look very nice with the Shebeest Ocean Wind Bellissima Jersey which is made of UPF fabric.

I also wear knickers, because my knees and the tops of my thighs get sunburned, and I've seen quite a few older women with wrinkly knees due to sun damage. Unfortunately, I haven't found any companies that put their best chamois in their knickers, so for long rides, I will wear shorts with a thicker, more comfortable chamois. The best knickers I've found so far are the Shebeest Pedal Pushers. Louis Garneau makes some that look good, but they're not here on the site -- Nanci sent me the link ages ago and I forgot where they were sold.

Good luck, and please let me know if you find anything elsewhere. This is a year-round issue for me.

I also come from a warmer part of the world.

I recently found the Jaggad Solarace jersey at my LBS and managed to score it for my Mothers' Day present.

It is winter here so I haven't really put it through its paces in the heat yet, but it seems good so far. The colors look really dull on the website, but look better in real life.

PS the sizes run small ( I think, or am I just getter bigger???)

Thanks for all the tips and infos; I like the Jaggad Solrace Jersey, that looks snugg.

I will keep you posted when I find some more

Thanks

Cari,
Can I ask you whether you find the Shebeest Pedal pushers get too hot in the warm weather?
I know exactly what you mean by your legs getting too much sun.
