I ride in the southeast where it is very hot and humid. I recommend highly the Veskimo Personal Cooling System as being very effective in keeping you cool in the most oppressively hot and humid weather.

A first class article about a subject that some riders take no or little notice of.I now ‘listen to my body’ it helps and do not forget the sun cream on your face if your flip-up hemet visor is up.

Gosh! what you have said makes so much sense. Perhaps wear thinner gloves in the hot weather and open up the vents of your jacket and your if you have them. I wear first class long sleeved tops under my jacket they wick very well but it is surprising how much one can sweat on a long journey. if you are riding a flip-up helmet with the visor up don’t forget the high factor sun cream on your face and especially the nose.

Can’t emphasize enough the need for head covering. Of course, a DOT helmet is the best for anyone who cares about their family; but the shade it offers is very important. If your head sweats, the cool air passing under the helmet helps cool your head and your head is the most important part of your body that needs to be functioning properly at all times.

Bare-headed riders not only look stupid, they just don’e seem educated enough to realize the effects of sunstroke, sunburn and of course the worst of all – road burn.

So ride in the sun but take your shade with you….
