DermUV

UV Protection for Cycling

Cyclists average 2–5 hours in direct sun, often during peak UV. Wind can mask sweat-driven SPF loss and the back of the neck is a hotspot.

Recommended gear

For cycling, DermUV recommends SPF 50+ and a reapply interval around 90 minutes, adjusted for sweat, water, and reflection.
