Sunscreen clothing is a crucial item for women to wear during the summer. Not only does it protect the skin from tanning, but it also aids in body cooling, temperature regulation, dehydration prevention, and sunburn avoidance.
However, caution must be exercised when wearing long-sleeve sunscreen shirts or wrap-around sun protection dresses as they can become entangled in wheels and cause accidents.

A type of sunscreen shirt with a hood covering the face and a high front zipper can replace a mask, but it obstructs vision. Many women have experienced dangerous situations while participating in traffic.
Two years ago, there was an accident in Tam Ky city, Quang Nam province, where a motorbike accelerated and became entangled in the sun protection dress of a woman sitting behind. This caused the motorcycle to lose control, resulting in the woman and the motorcycle being dragged under a truck, while the other woman was thrown a considerable distance away.
More recently, a 15-year-old student in Hanoi had to be hospitalized for emergency treatment because her sun protection shirt got caught in a bicycle wheel. This caused her to fall onto the road, resulting in severe injuries and potential vision impairment.
- Dress appropriately and avoid wearing long sunscreen dresses or shirts that can get caught in the wheels.
- Limit the use of sun protection clothing that restricts visibility, such as full-length dresses with a hood.
- If you are wearing long-sleeved sun protection shirts or dresses, make sure to tuck the skirt up and secure it around your leg to avoid any loose ends before riding.
- When choosing a sun protection dress, avoid wrap-around dresses made of soft materials like elastic, as they are prone to getting caught in the rear wheel. It is best to opt for thicker materials like khaki or denim.
- When using a sun protection shirt with a hood and a wide-brimmed sun hat that covers the helmet, pay extra attention when making turns.
- Summer is also the season of rain and storms. Sudden storms can occur while riding on the road. A sun protection dress or shirt can quickly obstruct your vision and limit your control over the bike. Therefore, it is important to immediately remove the sun protection dress or shirt when encountering severe storms or find a safe shelter.
