Summer is well and truly here in Australia, and it’s time to gear up to keep safe on the field, track or court. Tackling sports in the scorching heat requires more than just your usual game plan: it’s time to rethink your wardrobe and gear up for the beat with summer sports apparel and equipment that keeps you cool, comfortable, and performing at your peak.
Beyond Apparel: Cooling Comfort Hacks
Even when you have the right summer sports apparel, it’s still a good idea to find other ways to cool down in order to avoid heat stroke and other issues. Other cool, comforting hacks include:
-
- Pre-cooling your body. Splash some cool water on your face, neck, and wrists before heading out
-
- Seek shade. Outside of your sunglasses, that is. Take advantage of shade breaks during longer workouts
-
- Hydrate early and often. Don’t wait until you’re thirsty, make sure you sip water regularly throughout your activity, particularly during intense workouts
-
- Consider cooling accessories. You can try cooling vests, neck wraps, or arm sleeves for a refreshing boost.
