WHY DID I CLICK ON THAT LINK????????????

I find if the road is real hot concrete the chaps protect me legs from the heat.

A$$ less chaps of course, because if you sew a leathera$$ on them, you have crotchless leather pants, and those are hot!!

 

Best thing for riding in the heat is what you wear underneath. Moisture wicking underwear and socks and shirt will pull the moisture away from your skin and make riding in the heat much more comfortable.
I usually just wear jeans on the outside when it is hot.

Underarmor underwear and shirts, and sport socks or wool socks work great.

 

I know the tourmaster mesh jacket IS cooler than just a tee shirt.

 

Go buy some under armor heat gear , and put your jeans over them, it will make a big difference, I don't ride without them.

 

Tourmaster Venture Air overpants - Mesh pants with a removable 2-piece liner system. The main liner is water and wind proof, the secondary liner is a quilted thermal liner. I have logged about 3000 miles in them so far since April with the main liner and without. They are waterproof with the liner installed, and with no liner they were comfortable doing the superslab in near 100 degree temps. I wear either jeans or Exoffico hiking pants under them depending on weather conditions. Jeans when cooler, hiking pants when hot.

 

+1 on these...I just purchased the First gear mesh pants a few weeks ago...so far they are great....much better than chaps on a warm day.

 

Blue Jeans with Tuff-n-Lite material (stronger than kevlar and breathable) sewn into contact points.

Try www.zone-tailed.com I bought a pair and really like them, besides the gal I talked to was very helpful and made sure I was ordering the right size. Mine fit great and they come with a zipper pocket on the left leg that is up when you are riding and it comes in very handy to hold toll money or LOOSE ball bearings.

 

Just plain old jeans here.
