ThirstyRock Hydration Tank Bag is another lifesaver for motorcycle riders

Do you use lifesavers when you ride? As a biker, this is one of the greatest tools at our disposal. If you are not already familiar with the term, this is the quick glance you take over your shoulder before changing lanes or the quick look around to make sure you know where all the cars are. ThirstyRock Hydration educates riders on common issues and introduces another lifesaver, the ThirstyRock Hydration Tank Bag.

HelmetsHelmets and eyewear are designed to protect you, but there are several helmet and goggle designs that can impede your peripheral vision and create a blind spot. Your mirrors help compensate for this decreased visibility, but it is necessary to make frequent mirror checks.

Shoulders and Elbows
Motorcycles are designed to look good; they are not always designed to be functional. The mirrors on many bikes are not far enough out and are easily blocked by your shoulders and elbows. A simple fix for this is to install longer mirror stems. In additional to mirror placement, it is best to have mirrors on both sides of your bike to enhance your field of vision.

Hydration
Another common issue that creates blind spots is the need to hydrate. You may need to tilt your head up to drink out of a bottle, take your eyes off the road to find your hydration pack’s mouthpiece, or you don’t drink until you stop. The first two problems put you at risk because you cannot see well, but not drinking puts you in real danger. Dehydration has a negative impact on your ability to think, react, and see.

Regularly checking your blind spots will help you avoid an accident. The ThirstyRock Hydration Tank Bag will keep you hydrated which will help you stay alert and ready for anything.

ThirstyRock Hydration shares tips for staying cool when you ride

Motorcycle riders understand the need for protective gear and clothing, not only  to protect your body from the elements, but to keep your body temperature regulated as well. ThirstyRock Hydration wants you to keep cool and ride safely, and the ThirstyRock Hydration Tank Bag is one of the best ways to do just that.

What to wear
Perspiration and evaporation regulate the body's temperature and keep you from overheating. As moisture evaporates from the skin, it draws heat away from the body. Long-sleeved, moisture-wicking fabrics are ideal for riding due to the movement of air over the material creating evaporation. Avoid clothing that traps perspiration against the skin and doesn't allow it evaporate. Limit sun exposure with sunglasses or a darkened visor to reduce sun glare. Sunscreen should be applied on any areas that are not covered by clothing.

What to drink
Staying hydrated is critical to maintaining alertness and mental focus while riding. Men require 3 liters of water per day; women require 2.7 liters. When riding in hotter temperatures, dehydration is a very real threat. Caffeine and alcohol are diuretics - meaning they increase the amount of urine you produce and help get rid of excess water - which is not what you want when you're riding. Your body needs fluids to produce perspiration and to regulate your temperature. And you should never drink alcohol before or during a ride.

How to stay hydrated
The ThirstyRock Hydration Tank Bag is the best way to keep your body hydrated while riding. The reservoir is made from BPA-free hydration bladder material, and has a 3.5 inch mouth for easy filling. The dual thermal lining means it can keep 3 liters of water cold for hours in 100 degree temperatures. And with a retractable hose, you won't need to stop for water or risk losing control of your bike getting a drink while riding.

ThirstyRock Hydration Tank Bag is the ideal way to avoid dehydration and remain safe while riding. An ounce of prevention, as they say. To order your ThirstyRock Hydration Tank Bag, visit https://www.thirstyrockhydration.com.

ThirstyRock Hydration recommends you hydrate before, during and after your motorcycle ride

Hydration is important over any period of time: months, weeks, days - even hours! ThirstyRock Hydration explains the importance of hydrating before, during and after your motorcycle ride.

It is unhealthy and can be lethal to go too long without drinking enough fluids. It is recommended that men consume 100 ounces of water, and women consume 70 ounces, daily. These guidelines are based on normal activity levels and should increase when there is more physical exertion. Going a day without drinking enough fluids can result in heat exhaustion or severe muscle cramps. Dehydration can be deadly.

Dehydration occurs when your body doesn’t get enough fluids. You usually know when you’re dehydrated, but some of the more common symptoms of dehydration are:

• Headache
• Upset or burning stomach
• Decrease in energy
• Fatigue
• Longer post-workout recovery

One of the greatest favors you can do for your body is to schedule your fluid intake. Drink one glass of water first thing in the morning and one hour before you go to bed. Make sure to include a large, healthy drink with every meal. Avoid excess sugary drinks, soda, or alcohol. Drink plenty of water, but don’t overdo it. Drinking too much water within a short period of time can leave you feeling bloated. Drink a lot of water and fluids, but also eat fruits and vegetables that are high in water content. Some of these are watermelon (who would have ever thought?), pineapple, pears, blueberries, grapefruit, celery, cucumber, lettuce, and tomatoes.

ThirstyRock Hydration understands the importance of hydrating before, during and after your motorcycle ride. That’s why we created the ThirstyRock Hydration Tank Bag with dual thermal lining and a hydration bladder. The ThirstyRock Hydration Tank Bag keeps 3 liters of water ice cold for several hours. A convenient retractable hose keeps water at your fingertips, but does not in any way impede the operation of your motorcycle. Make staying hydrated one of your top priorities.
