What cyclists say.

Jaco Van Gass - Four-time Olympic Gold medallist. Three time World record holder. Former Paratrooper.

"Protecting my skin is critical. I not only spend a huge amount of time out on my bike training, but have lost a third of my muscle and tissue from my left thigh and this, combined with skin grafts, means I have delicate skin that needs to be protected. For everything I need, LifeJacket has me covered, including their Daily SPF Moisturiser which I use as part of my daily routine."

Common questions

Do I need sun protection year-round?

Yep. UV gets through clouds, so your skin's getting hit even when it doesn't feel sunny. Year-round protection keeps you covered every time you head out.

Do cyclists really need SPF?

Sun exposure is high during long rides, and wind can increase UV penetration. A non-greasy, sweat-resistant SPF such as our Mineral Sun Stick or Sun Protection Spray is best for cyclists.

How often should I reapply sunscreen?

Reapply every 2-3 hours, especially if sweating.

What about chafing on long rides?

Our Anti-Chafe Bar stops the rub before it starts. Smooth application, stays put through sweat and miles.
