The simple cap gives quite a few options, peak at the front or back? Peak up or peak down? These days as well as straight cotton, there are polyester mixes to add extra wind and rain protection, as well as a wide, colourful array of designs. Caps can significantly reduce issues such as sweat pouring down the insides of sunglasses and also provide an extra layer of protection for insects which can venture into helmet vents.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"470\" height=\"470\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/61132_goodr_original_og_polarized_sunglasses.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37948 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 470px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 470\/470;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/cycling-sunglasses-75370\/\">Cycling Glasses<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Glasses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Summer eyewear does a couple of important jobs for two of the most important parts of your body. They both protect your eyes from impact from grit, insects and other random stuff, they also protect eyes from damaging UV rays. Luckily there are a wide range of style and fit options to cover all bike rider needs.

In the olden days having fingers uncovered meant they were great for fixing flat tyres or dialling numbers in a telephone box in an emergency. These days uncovered fingers get to swipe smart phones and give rude gestures to bad drivers &#8211; so they are probably kept busier than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"470\" height=\"470\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/104585_craft_cool_mesh_superlight_sl_sleeveless_base_layer.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37942 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 470px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 470\/470;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/cycling-base-layers-75349\/\">Summer Base Layers<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mesh Base Layer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding a layer of clothing to help you keep cool will always seem a little odd.

These days, top tube and bar bags have gone more mainstream. They are super useful for keeping stuff you might need riding along very accessible.
