Hot weather gear?

Pliskin · 06-10-2008, 01:22 PM

Hello, ladies and gents.

I've tried to research before posting, so my apologies if I missed the thread.

What kind of light weight jackets do you suggest?

I'm hot as hell when I'm riding, but I am not a fan of not wearing pants (keep your jokes to yourself on that one), jacket, gloves and a helmet of course. (I believe the old saying is "If the only protection you wear is a helmet, you better only crash on your head". Funny, but not funny).

Got any suggestions, or a few links to point me in the right direction? Thanks! Not worried about price.

Try Motoport - Cycleport The Motorcycle Supplies Provider

I've got their jacket and pants. Very nice, very light.

In summer I use a FirstGear mesh jacket....really cool while moving, but like any other jacket, it warms up quickly while stopped.

When it gets really hot, I rinse out a t-shirt, then put the jacket on over it and take off...better than air-conditioning!
