Choosing the right clothing for the most anticipated transitional season of the year is never easy, especially for cyclists.

For those with more experience, this may seem obvious, but it’s certainly not a topic to be taken for granted, given that wide temperature swings are characteristic of this particular time of year, with temperatures shifting from very cold to summer-like from one day to the next.

The risk is dressing either too much or too little, and the problem becomes more acute when you have to tackle routes with steep elevation changes that require very different levels of physical effort during the ascent and descent.

So, how should a cyclist dress in the spring to avoid sweating and feeling cold?
Oxyburn offers three solutions:

1 – Don’t bundle up too much.
Choosing technical, temperature-regulating, and breathable base layers that maintain a constant body temperature is the very first thing you should do. For example, the CONTROL T-shirt or the SHELTER long-sleeve shirt are perfect! Made with ultralight fabric and a self-ventilating micro-mesh structure, they accelerate sweat evaporation, keeping your body dry even during the most intense activities.
2 – Choose the right windproof vest and capes.
Over your chosen technical base layer, Oxyburn recommends a windproof vest or jacket, which are essential for layering. The vest has the advantage of being compact, making it ideal when paired with arm warmers on colder days. The jacket, on the other hand, definitely provides a higher level of protection, making it ideal for dealing with sudden changes in weather.
3 – Accessories are essential.
Gloves, neck warmers, leg warmers, and helmet liners are the details that make all the difference when choosing your outfit! It may not seem like it, but protecting your hands, neck, and head with functional, lightweight, and breathable technical fabrics allows you to tackle your workouts while shielding yourself from the elements and making physical activity easier.
