S'dress to ride | Vélo Québec

Go for multi-layering, which you can adapt to the weather and the seasons: don't dress too warmly, and remove a layer as soon as you warm up.

If your bike doesn't have a chain guard, you may want to protect your pants by rolling them up or using a trouser clamp.

Choose shoes or sandals with rigid soles. They'll be more efficient for pedaling!

Get lightweight rainwear that's easy to carry in your bag. That way, you'll always be prepared!

Choose a windbreaker and insulated mid-layer over a heavy coat.
Wear unlined windproof pants and boots that are neither too bulky nor too warm.
Protect your hands with warm mittens.
Smoked goggles (daytime) or ski goggles will protect your eyes from the cold and wind.
Wear a toque or hat that covers your ears and forehead, or a ski helmet.
