To answer inquiring minds. Yes, I will wear leather trousers more often than not.100% silk longhandles under the trousers. Too much information ? Full fingered leather gloves, allways. Only a full face helment from the H-D store. Look at the picture you will see fringe, not tassles, on the handlebars! Want more un-needed information? I am 69 years old and last year I had a heavy duty medical problem requiring 10 units of blood, 2 units plasma and 2 packages of plateletts (sp). Doctors told wife they thought they lost me 2 times. Not sure how that happened because in ICU 6 days in guarded condition. Doctors said because of so much blood tranfusion, I would be cold for quite a while. Don't ride as much as I would like but when I go, I'll dress for the slide. ![](http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:www.hdforums.com/get/forum/images/icons/icon6.gif)

I live in Texas. I am curious who wears a leather jacket in the summer time? Do you stay cooler or is it hotter. Curious what people wear. I am new so don't beat me up to much. I am wanting to buy a jacket for the summer riding I just don't want to buy the wrong thing. Thanks for everyones response.
The Vanson has more ventilation than any other jacket I've encountered.
I would suggest one in the gray/silver colour, as opposed to the heat absorbing black, even though black is faster.......

I feel the same way. Just a vest ,T shirt and jeans. Some times wear my boots but most of the time I wear sneakers. Not worried about going down, already had my turn, now it is time for some one else.
