Good cycling glasses should fit tight on your face not allowing any wind to
affect your eyes
(d)
. Cycling glasses come in a wide range of models, such as
glasses with clear lenses and without UV protection for cycling in the dawn
and at night or glasses with maximum UV protection for cycling under extreme
sunlight.
Your SCOTT dealer has a wide range of cycling glasses available and will be
pleased to advise you.
CLOTHING
Cycling trousers
(e)
are essential if you want to sit comfortably. These close-fit-
ting trousers, at least at the inside, have special padding in the seat. They have
no seams that can press into you and they do not form folds. Cycling trousers
are therefore designed to be worn next to the skin.
Since sporty cycling will soon bring you out in a sweat, a jersey
(f)
made of
synthetic materials is ideal. The fibres themselves do not take up any moisture
but instead wick the sweat away from the skin up to the surface of the materials
and thus prevent you getting cold from the cool wind produced by your speed.
On longer tours you should in addition have suitable protection against the rain.
Your SCOTT dealer will be glad to help you choose the right equipment.
WARNING
Never ride with wide-cut trousers or skirts that might get caught in the
spokes, chain or chainrings. To avoid any such mishap, use suitable clips or
straps, if necessary.
For increased visibility to other road users be sure to wear striking and
bright-coloured clothing!
