UTV Riding Tips: Staying Cool On a Hot Day

A bright sunny day can be perfect for UTV riding...unless the temperatures are soaring! Thankfully, it is possible to stay cool on a side-by-side ride. Just use the following tips.

1. Ride in the Cooler Parts of the Day

UTVs are built for all-day adventures. But in the high heat, it's best to start your ride early in the morning or later in the evening when the sun isn't as strong. This will make the side-by-side ride much more comfortable and enjoyable.

2. Choose UTV Trails With Shade

Focus on UTV trails that offer some natural shade from trees or other cover. This will help give you some protection from the unrelenting sun's rays.

3. Take Plenty of Breaks

When it's hot out, it's important to take breaks more often than you normally would. Find a spot in the shade, drink some water, and give yourself a chance to cool down.

4. Wear the Right Clothing

Light-colored and loose-fitting clothing will help you stay cooler than dark clothes or tight fitting gear. You can even get clothes that are made from breathable and moisture-wicking materials to better help deal with sweat.

With these tips in mind, you can enjoy your UTV even on the hottest days of summer. Just be sure to take it easy, drink plenty of water, and take breaks when you need them.
