What do you wear on hot days?
 
Wasn't too bad riding to work yesterday morning but coming home it was ridiculous. Even with the linings taken out of my trousers and jacket I was still boiling. In the end I had to unzip the jacket a bit to keep cool. Within 30 mins I was soaking. One way to lose weight I guess. The jacket part I can put up with because once I was going it was fine but I'll need new trousers. Any ideas what can keep me cool but still actually has good protection. Seen a few kids about with just a helmet and shorts and T-Shirt! Madness

Get yourself some summer base layers mate, preferably merino wool ones, they insulate you from your gear and does stop a lot of sweating.

I cannot ride without my base layers on in the summer, I sweat too much, I can weary leathers all day long no problem.
