Many cyclists know to pile on the actual sun screen before heading out for a ride, but the truth is that many jerseys don’t actually offer protection from the sun, meaning it is possible to get burned even under the shirt. Specialized new apparel line will however feature Deflect UV technology that has been integrated into the weave of the fabric, while still being breathable and chemical free. Best of all it won’t ever wear off.
The garments will have a minimum of UPF 30 and up to UPF 50 protection rating, and each garment is labeled with its exact rating.
