"We can officially only rate these warmers at UPF 50+, but in our laboratory tests they actually blocked 99.8 percent of damaging UV rays. We used a polyester base that is not only more effective than nylon at blocking UV rays but is also much better at keeping you dry, which means these skins are better in both cooler and warmer conditions. We’ve kept the construction very clean to eliminate seams that can rub, and we used our double-sided silicone elastic to make sure they stay in place. They fold up extremely small, so they’re great to stick in your pockets for your next big mountain day."

If your mountain biking preference is to ride light but still want reliable knee protection when fast and technical trails might catch you out, the Trail Skins Lite Knee Guards are a great pick. The soft and flexible Pro-Shape 2.0 protector allows maximum on-the-bike mobility and pedalling performance, letting you enjoy mountain bike trails without being held back by cumbersome kit. However, the innovative protector, inspired by auxetic materials - materials that expand in all directions simultaneously when hit, absorbing damaging impact forces - provides superb crash protection, soaking up impacts should you hit the dirt. In fact, this protector absorbs up to 83% of the force of an impact, rather than transmitting this to your knee. Meanwhile, the jersey hole fabric of the guards allows your skin to breathe and wide grippers, with silicone, keep the Trail Skins Lite securely in place even during the rowdiest of mountain bike rides. And should you want to stash your guards, the guards come complete with a practical elastic-strap included in the pack. This allows the guards to be attached to the frame. Stow them away when pedalling uphill and they're safe and ready to go for when you're hitting the grin-inducing downhills.
