Should I wear shorts or pants to go mountain biking? Im going mountain biking in 95 degrees and I was wondering if I had to wear shorts or pants to make. I do not want to get any mosquito bites.
Thank you.
I use shorts. At 95, pants would be too hot. Regarding the mosquitoes go, using a spray on repellent.
take a speedo
I wear shorts for comfort. but you can get long pants that breathe really well. If you do not wear pants, just to make sure they are not so loose around the ankles that are caught in your pedal before.
I would recommend shorts. Wearing pants in that heat can make you ridiculous
When I bike, I wore shorts and football socks knee-high. Not because of the mosquitoes, but ticks and ivy. This is not the most elegant thing, but it's either that or die of a tick bite.
Pants are really not a good idea in that time. Just do not. The heat will be worse than mosquitoes or ticks or chiggers or poison ivy. Now that I think it does not seem that fun. Good luck!
It's hot enough for me to wear shorts above 55F. 95F?! hydration, hydration, and moderation. Brush, mosquitoes, sunburn, heat, dehydration?!
