It's Hot

Yeah - that's an understatement. There are ways to deal with the heat, though. Here are a few items of apparel that might help keep you a little bit more comfortable while riding.

Tourmaster Tracker Pant - This lightweight pant is largely mesh yet still has the protection of CE Armor. The thing I love about this pant is that the bottom of the legs unzip (just above the knee) to make the pants into shorts. So - when you're out riding and come across that stream with nice clear cool water - you're set.

TCX AirTech Touring Boot - Waterproof but breathable boots that pull the sweat away from the foot.

Cooldanna or Frogg Toggs Chilly Pads - Either of these products provide long-lasting cooling relief. Just activate the cooling with ice water then place the rag or bandana around the neck. They say the fabric will be as much as 25 degrees cooler.

Of course, as most bikers will tell you - it's not uncomfortable at 75 mph - it's when you have to stop that it gets really hot!!
