Overview
Pelotan is high-performance sun protection for cyclists. An alcohol based spray which is clear, quickly absorbed, lightweight and breathable, Pelotan has been independently tested as meeting EU Regulations on UVA and UVB protection and lasts up to 8 hours – meaning you can get a full day in the saddle without risking skin damage. Ride longer, tan sharper. We work with everyone from the professional peloton to weekend club riders to improve performance and cultivate razor sharp tanlines.

Introducing Pelotan: high-performance sun protection designed for cyclists

We created Pelotan as a sun protection brand that recognised the needs of cyclists from professional athletes to weekend club riders. The product has been designed from the ground up specifically for cyclists as ‘once a day’, water and sweat resistant sun protection, allowing you to stay in the saddle longer, perfecting those ultra-sharp tan lines from sunrise to sunset.

Razor sharp tan lines across one’s thighs and biceps can elicit a simple nod of mutual respect from fellow riders (Velominati rule #7…) but can quickly lead to a hunt for a bottle of aloe vera to soothe dangerous and painful sunburn which, aside from affecting short term performance in the saddle, can have very negative long term consequences.

High profile cases of professional riders being seriously burnt after stage events (everyone from Chris Froome to Louis Meintjes and Rudi Selig) and countless examples of riders burning from even shorter training or social rides highlighted the necessity for a specialist product.

Working alongside professional teams and cosmetic experts our formula has been subject to a testing and refinement process, culminating in Pelotan -  the world's first sun protection designed specifically to improve performance, maximise comfort and allow cyclists to ride longer, tan sharper.

 

Manufactured in the UK, the finished product conforms to EU regulations on UVA and UVB  protection, is photostable, dermatologically tested, contains no preservatives and isn’t tested on animals.

Pelotan SPF30 protects your skin from harmful sun radiation 30 times longer than natural protection and a single application, if done correctly, will last up to 8 hours – meaning you can ride from sunrise to sunset.   

 

Our Campaign

We have already invested significant time and resource developing Pelotan, working closely with professional teams and cosmetic experts to produce a sun protection product that performs at the highest level. We are launching the brand across Europe in Summer 2018 and have plans to enter the Australian, Asian and Middle Eastern markets later this year - before arriving in the USA in 2019. 

Your support will help us:

  • Expand into international markets, creating a global sun protection brand made by cyclists, for cyclists
  • Work with more professional teams and sponsored athletes to improve comfort and performance in races from UCI Level down to regional comps - giving marginal gains that could make the difference between a place on the podium and the Yellow Jersey
  • Continue our product development as we push the boundaries of performance
  • Introduce new sizes and specifications into our product range
  • Continue to support grass-roots cycling events, sportives and charity rides - ensuring rider safety and comfort

All campaign backers will receive exclusive early bird offers and discounts on future products.

 

Order now and Pelotan will be delivered in June (EU) 

Our flagship product - Pelotan SPF 30 (200ml) is available for immediate dispatch to EU countries.

Our range of exclusive Pelotan accessories including Pelotan x Isadore Jersey and Bidons are available for dispatch worldwide throughout June. Our professional training plans are available for delivery via email and our incredible experiential 'Yellow Jersey Bundle' including a ride in a team car in a professional race will be arranged with supporters privately.

 

Pro Team Support

As part of a commitment to high performance, Pelotan are working with the UK’s #1 domestic team Ribble Pro Cycling for the 2018 season.

We are proud to support incredible cycling teams throughout their seasons, from training camps to races. We have developed premium sun protection products with the performance cyclist in mind as we firmly believe that in a world of marginal gains, comfortable riders race harder. Our long-lasting formula enables our riders and teams to train, race and recover in the sunshine for longer - from sunrise to sunset.

Some recent Ribble Pro Cycling successes:

  • British Team Pursuit Champions
  • British Individual Pursuit Champion

We have also agreed to support a UCI Women's WorldTour Team for the 2019 season, starting in January at the Santos Women’s Tour Down Under in Australia.

 

Pelotan x Isadore

We are delighted to be working with one of the world's leading manufacturers of high-performance cycling clothing, Isadore, to create a unique Pelotan x Isadore jersey. 

Isadore is the vision of Martin Velits (former professional cyclist for Etixx-Quickstep) and his twin brother Peter (who rode for BMC). Racking up tens of thousands of kilometres per year training and racing across the globe lends a pretty unbeatable sense of what works well in cycling clothing and what doesn’t - Isadore is a culmination of a lifetime dedicated to the road.

We have teamed up to create a limited edition Climber's Jersey specifically made for intensive workouts and riding uphill - the Climber's Jersey will keep the body temperature balanced when it’s hot outside. Merino fibres naturally absorb UV radiation, protecting the skin from the damage caused by direct sunlight. See lots more of Isadore's kit in action in our launch video!

 

Pelotan x Rouleur

Rouleur magazine is the world’s finest road cycling journal, read by a global group of dedicated road cycling fans, pro riders and the most influential bike riders in the world.

FAQ

Q: How quickly can I get my hands on Pelotan?

Q: Does Pelotan conform to EU Regulations on UVA and UVB protection?

A: Yes - it does (shown by UVA and UVB logos circled on packaging). Pelotan has been shown to last up to 8 hours from a single application, if applied correctly.

Q: What SPF is Pelotan?

A: Our flagship line is SPF 30, which is recommended for exposure to the sun in the EU. Every skin is different, but we find that SPF 30 offers adequate protection to even those with sensitive skin.

Q: Does Pelotan work for non-cyclists?

A: Absolutely, yes. Pelotan works in any environment but is designed with characteristics that make it especially effective for cycling - namely it is lightweight, non-greasy, quickly absorbed, ‘once a day’, water and sweat resistant sun protection - making it perfect for a day in the saddle.

Q: Does Pelotan stain clothing?

A: We designed Pelotan specifically not to mark clothing - but recommend allowing it to fully dry before putting on your favourite kit. Marginal gains, not terminal stains.
