Brilio.net/en - You may be living in the most dense part of the city or simply prefer riding motorbikes to get you anywhere efficiently. But the tropical weather just wont allow breezy like it does in those charming movie scenes. Most of the time what you get is hot weather that you must cope with during the endless traffic jams, not to mention the stress. Well at least you can do something about it to stay fresh, like following these tips below:
1.Wash your helmet

The inside of your helmet is a good place for bacteria and germs to stay and grow, especially because your head is sweating and you store the helmet in a damp place. Be sure to store your helmet in an airy space so the inside of the helmet meets fresh air, and get the helmet washed once every three months. If you lend the helmet to other people, wash it more often because we dont know how clean or dirty their heads are.
2.Wear a breathable jacket

Heavyweight jackets like a leather jacket may give you a cool look on the motorbike, but wearing it in tropical weather is another problem. You can opt for synthetic material instead, which is more lightweight and friendly with the weather. Dont wear the jacket with heat insulation layers inside, because they will retain your body heat and the water vapor could increase your sweating, thereby causing your body to overheat. It is important to be able to let at least two pints of perspiration through your clothing every hour. Wear a breathable jacket with textile materials instead of leather. There are many choices like nylon, polyurethane, PVC, taffeta, or many others.
3.Wear a mask

Especially when you wear anything that isnt the full-face helmet, always protect the lower part of your face with mask, bandana or buff. This will protect you from breathing in the smoke pollution right away and also will protect your skin from the dust pollution on the roads. You may not realize it but the dust makes your face look pallid, and in worse cases can cause acne. There are many protections sold with choices of colours and patterns to keep you stylish.
4.Bring perfume

No matter how good you smell before the ride, the sun and sweat will wipe it off eventually. Always bring a small bottle of perfume, eau de toilette, or body mist in your bag to refresh you when you reach your destination and make you ready to meet people.
5.Bring a comb

Classic as it may sound, but bringing a comb, hairbrush or hairpins ready in your bag is necessary. Wearing helmets can ruin your hairdo, no matter how simply you styled it. Make sure you go to the restroom once you enter your destinationor do it quickly by using your motorbikes rear mirror.
