Change Of Gear To Minimise Heat Of Sun?

Get a MESH jacket, not a mash one!! I have a Richa leather and mesh jacket and trousers which have detachable gore-tex and thermal liners so suitable for most conditions except mid winter, lovely cool breeze through trousers and jacket, mind you it still gets pretty warm queueing to get into a shop!

 

Another vote for the mesh and leather jacket from me. It has been brilliant the past few weeks. It is black but that's ok with me.
Have a pair of summer trousers, which were a beige colour originally but even after a 30 minute ride they come back filthy with dust. Have now dyed them black!

 

T shirt and shorts

 

Ok then T shirt and your long johns

 

Ordered a dark brown mesh jacket from SBS arrived Friday so only used it twice. So far happy, need a long sleeve top for the morning run to work but hell of a lot cooler that me black waxed cotton padded jacket. Quite nice riding back this afternoon and still feel quite secure in it.

Link below and got a price match or £92.

Yeah it's a great jacket (Ebay for £35.00) with a removable quilted liner and full armour.

 

RST Ventilator jacket four seasons mesh when it needs to be. That’s one of mine

 

Agree with the suggestion of mesh gear - it's a life-changer in hot weather. I wear a Rev'It Eclipse jacket, which is relatively inexpensive and super-efficient at providing plenty of ventilation whilst riding. Comes in a few different colours, too.

 

Still just leather jacket (lining out) and jeans

 

I tried the Knox mesh shirt on at the motorcycle show. Seems like a good idea, but not sure if it would be all that much benefit in the heat, which is why I was looking. I would want long sleeves under it for any length of time. It's not very comfortable against skin. At least when new, maybe you get used to it

 

Dare to wear White , I did ! A Tailor Made White Leather Jacket in my mid twenties ! I had a White Nolan Helmet , as I couldn't get Silver Leather in the early 80's .. I had a Silver Laverda RGS1000 from new in 1983 , I was in Sunny Southern QLD with all the humidity that implies. Was much cooler than my biker mates in their Marlon Brando black leather jacket's .
