BASIC CLIMATE INFORMATION OF AOMORI
RECOMMENDED CLOTHES ADAPTED TO TEMPERATURE
SPORTS TYPE
The cycle jersey has a quick drying function to evaporate perspiration to prevent body temperature from rising, allowing comfortable riding.
As an anti-chill measures on the downhill, wearing an arm warmer or carrying a pocket-sized windbreaker is recommended.
Combine long pants or half pants + tights. Plus when it covers the neck, you can hardly feel the cold.
Minimizing exposed parts of the skin and taking percautionary measures against the cold weather are very important. Consider using earwarmers and gloves.
CASUAL TYPE
Short-sleeved shorts are the best. T-shirts are also acceptable, but let’s choose the one with breathable and fast-drying function.
It feels a bit chilly if you are just in a T-shirt, so bring another thin jacket.
It is best to wear a wind breaker since the wind feels cold.
When the temperature falls below 10 ℃, the wind feels very cold, so wear a long sleeve inner and an outer windproof outer.
