Now, besides the basic for the beginners, what is other mountain bike outfitter to be considered for a biking trip? Let’s look at the clothing, there are a few items which worth considering if budget is not a concern for you. You may be more enjoyable and comfortable with mountain bike riding with a proper cycle-specific costume.
You need a sunglass to protect your eyes from being hit by a flying object. It is really hurt and annoying while you are enjoying the scenery. Clear glasses are perfect as you won’t plunge into darkness when you are entering a wooded area and you can wear them all year round. Many glasses come with interchangeable lenses, a yellow lens which is good in poor light conditions for example.
Next, you may consider getting a cycling jersey. A cycling jersey which made from a air-cool fabric will dries ridiculously quick and breathes incredibly well, it will prevent your cycling top to become cold and clammy. You will also stay cool and dry as it helps to draw moisture away from your body. There are many ranges of different cycling jerseys but make sure you choose one that fit your body shape and be comfortable when you are on a bike. Get a water resistant and windproof fabric jacket as you are not able to predict the weather. A good quality cycling jacket will easily shrugs off any early morning drizzle or noon thunderstorm during your mountain bike ride.
Once you have the cycling tops, now you need a cycling pant. You may want to consider a stretchable cycling pant with a wind resistant front panel to keep the cold air flow and a back panel for continued warmth. You may feel odd when you first try a pair of tight cycling pant, but you will feel comfortable when you are sitting on the saddle.
You need socks, proper biking shoes and gloves to protect your feet and hand from getting cold and blisters, after a tough mountain biking path. Biking socks and gloves usually made of breathable materials that help carry moisture away from your skin. Wearing a waterproof socks will keep your feet dry all the time, even you wade through a stream.
You need to stay hydrated when you are riding on a mountain bike. Get yourself a water bottle or invest in a hydration pack. It is a water bladder installed in a rucksack with a long straw in order for you to drink while riding. There are some additional pockets on the packs which allow you to keep extra bits and pieces, puncture kit, first aid kit, your wallet and phone.
These are basically the outfitters for a mountain bike rider, you may want to invest into these outfitters in order to get yourself ready for a pleasure off-road riding.
