Can't be much hotter than middle Tennessee these days. Jeans, T-Shirt and the lid.

pu$$y it has been so hot here in FL for like a month. I am in Jeans, Boots T. that is it

 

I have the swithcback. Which has the shoulder and elbow pads. It's a three season jacket. The shell zips off to make a mesh jacket for warm weather, the shell back on for cooler weather, and a rain liner that can be put in. I like it. It's fine, even in hot weather when RIDING and lets lots of air flow through. But, if you are stopped, it gets pretty warm.

 

Usually something along these lines:

 

I was reading a motorcycle rider's informational web page that suggests not using a sunscreen inside of a full face helmet due to vaporization of the sunscreen causing sudden vision problems. Ever have that happen?

Here's a link tothat page. Look for "Sunblock Can Kill You!" www.msgroup.org/DISCUSS.asp

 

HD 3 in 1 jacket, wear the mesh part mostly, but add the panel at night (in the 90's daytime/will go into the 60's & 50"s at sundown, especially in the mountain passes & foot hills. Keep the rain gear part in a saddlebag. Rode a little bit the other day with a tank top & jeans, then switched to the jacket and found the jacket to actually be cooler in the direct sun than bare skin. Always ride with 1/2 lid (helmet) in town and full face on the highway. Wear the jacket and usually chaps with matching basic black gay-a$$ half gloves. It's road rash season and Billiings, MT has the worst drivers in the US. Last accident I saw, a guy got rear-ended while driving down a city street 3 lanes wide with no traffic. Got hit pretty, hard too.
