EVIDENT RISKS

During this summer season it is essential to have good protection against UV, high exposure to sunlight has many risks. Excessive and inconsiderate exposure to sunlight can lead to sunburn, premature aging of the skin, photosensitivity, and the development of skin cancer or eye damage.

To avoid this problem, G4, always looking for the well-being of its customers has developed outfits with UV50 + treatment for optimal resistance to the sun’s rays. You can then consider all parts of your body covered by our equipments protected againt UV. But beware, nothing is to neglect, face, neck, arms, legs are equally sensitive to strong sun exposure.

Dark-coloured textiles absorb both visible and invisible sunlight, means heat and light. Coldblack® textiles reduce this absorption of heat radiation. We use this technology in our dark-coloured cycling shorts. The result is better heat management.
This technology offers reliable protection against UV rays. A UV30 (minimum) is guaranteed for “Cold Black” fabrics. G4 garments with coldblack® can make an effective contribution to protection against harmful UV rays.
