Few things can slow down dedicated cyclists. For many who clip in and ride each week, the longer the distance or the higher the resistance, the better. But one thing that sends every bike devotee into a panic is actually a big fear of many athletes: chafing. Thankfully, there are plenty of tools and tricks [1] you can try to keep chafing and rubbing at bay. Beyond that, any cyclist's best bet to keep on riding chafe-free is to stock up on the right apparel. Think pieces that are seamless, breathable, and cotton-free (aka synthetics) and fit properly.
To help you ride on, I found eight pieces to keep irritation away so you can pedal to your heart's content. Scroll to see sleek pieces from Under Armour that every cyclist should shop.
