Sun Shield

1. As you hit the trail this summer, don’t forget your sun protection­—and we’re not just talking about sunscreen! If you choose to wear a helmet when you’re in the saddle, you know your nose is exposed to the sun and at risk of getting burnt. You’re probably also squinting to see what’s ahead of you. Solve these problems by using Troxel’s detachable helmet brimmer ($49.99; troxelhelmets.com) for added shade and protection from the summer sun. With a full 4 1/2-inch palm leaf brim that attaches to any Troxel helmet, you can easily switch out the brimmer to another helmet to have a different look for every ride.
