Riding in hot weather

p*ss of you daft sod.

I've not seen those, though it sounds like an ok idea.
I'm certainly going to get a water pack to carry on long journies, though.

when i was down south last week i was shocked at how many people i saw riding blades etc very fast whilst wearing shorts and t shirts. it may be that its never warm enough to ride like that up here but its not something you see too much of in scotland. i think its just silly. its not how fast your riding etc that is usually the problem its the other numpties on the road who pay even less attention in the summer as they are too busy looking at the scantily clad ladies to pay attention to the road.

I win I win
I knew either you or Scoobs could not resist.

Always full kit whatever the weather, leather trousers and either cordura jkt or leather, easier to replace gear than skin and far less painful, it scares me when i see peeps riding any bikes in shorts and t shirts, no gloves and trainers, don't they realise it doesn't have to be their fault if they r in an accident ?.

I wear FT 'Lay Rider' gear which is pretty thin leather with full armour, but hubby had to pull the leathers off me, swear someone put superglue down my trousers!!!

If I was your husband I'd forbid you from changing gear, there is no better bonding session than having to strip your partners gear off, get a bigger bath and enjoy a post ride scrub down, remember I DO was for better or for worse (i.e. all sweaty from a kick **** ride)

right then . . .who can recommend me a good cool jacket ?

one thats gonna keep me as cool as possible ?

cheers

I've got an alpinestars t-stunt air flow jacket

Its a textile jacket, had elbow and shouler armour, and a back protector

Its very cool even on the hottest of days and IMHO is just as cool as riding in a t-shirt would be, its comfy and light and I would recommend it to anybody
