Personalized clothing advice

Tempelo makes clothing advice more personal in three layers: standard advice based on the weather, feedback on how the advice felt for you, and My wardrobe with your own cycling kit.

The basis: standard advice

Tempelo always starts with standard advice. That advice is calculated from the expected conditions during your ride.

Tempelo does not only look at temperature, but also at feels-like temperature, wind, rain, and ride intensity. That means a ride can feel colder or warmer than the thermometer alone suggests.

How feedback tunes your advice

After a ride, you can tell Tempelo whether the clothing advice matched.

If something was off, you select the body area that needed a different advice.

Tempelo uses that feedback to make your advice warmer or lighter.

That can happen overall, but also separately for head/neck, upper body, hands, legs, or feet.

My wardrobe

With My wardrobe, you can add your own cycling kit to Tempelo. You connect each item to a body area and to one or more Tempelo zones.

When a ride falls into one of those zones, Tempelo can show your own item in the advice. That way, you do not only see general advice, but also what it means for the kit you actually own.

What Tempelo zones are

Tempelo zones are zones such as freezing, very cold, cold, cool, mild, warm, and hot. They are based on how the ride feels, not only on the raw temperature.

Wind, rain, and ride intensity can move a ride into a colder or warmer zone. That is why you connect clothing items to zones, not to one fixed temperature.

How Tempelo fills the gaps

If you have added your own clothing for a body area and zone, Tempelo can show it.

If you have not added anything for a body area or zone yet, Tempelo automatically fills in with standard advice.

You do not need to complete your wardrobe all at once.

Archived clothing items are not used in new advice.

What you need to do

Use clothing advice in Ride Now, Ride Later, or Ride Route.

After your ride, give short feedback when Tempelo asks for it.

Add the clothing items you often use in My wardrobe.

Connect each item to the zones in which you would normally wear it.

Good to know

Feedback currently works per body area, not per specific clothing item. If your hands were too cold, Tempelo learns something about your hand advice, not about one specific pair of gloves.

You cannot yet change the boundaries of Tempelo zones yourself. Separate layer types such as base layer, jersey, jacket, or accessory are not separate settings yet either. You can already connect multiple clothing items to the same zone.

What you gain from it

Over time, your clothing advice better matches how you experience cold, warmth, wind, and rain.

And if you use My wardrobe, you will increasingly see your own kit appear in the advice, while Tempelo keeps using standard advice wherever you have not added anything yet.
