suncoaster Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 A t-shirt ! But over that: White/black Icon Overlord leather jacket - well vented and actually cooler than my Dririder Air Ride summer mesh jacket. I wear an Olympia Blaze hi-viz vest around town, as there are lots of geriatrics and tourists here. Rhok Gen 4 (EN 13595 certified) kevlar jeans with hip and knee armor. The knees unzip to easily remove armor. Carbon/Kevlar gauntlet gloves with palm slider. No idea of the brand, but am looking for replacements with the same features. Rjay's Highway boots. . Edit: hotlinked pics have broken, standby while I put them elsewhere now on photobucket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beberle Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Cortech makes some of the most breathable gear I've ever worn. I wear the GX Air Mesh jacket and gloves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Trambo Posted June 10, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted June 10, 2015 Underarmour hot weather gear for a base later. Got to have that wicking/evaporative layer for a start. I own a lot of gear (much to my wife's chagrin, LOL) but the hottest of the hot weather, I wear Tourmaster Intake mesh jacket & pants, they have CE-approved armor and of all the mesh gear I've seen/worn or owned, is probably the most crash worthy stuff. I don't skimp on gloves or boots in hot weather. Cortech Adrenaline gauntlets and TM Solution boots, I want my money-makers safe in a crash... I can't afford to not work! 2015 Stealth Grey FJ-09 Pilot Base of Operations: Chesterfield, VA Farkels? Lots, nothing flashy, but all functional...

[...] My summer jacket Revit Airwave from Revzilla Summer Pants Revit Airwave from Revzilla I use the Airwave stuff too. I've been quite pleased with it; the quality has been good, it feels like it might actually do something if I fall down, and it flows tons of air. With the liners in it's 3-season capable. I used to use Joe Rocket mesh, but it never felt substantial enough to take a fall (I called it "half crash capable") and even worse literally fell apart at the seams just wearing it.

snowflake Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Last year I had a Motoport UltraII Kevlar 3/4 length jacket made for me. It flows alot of air and offers great protection in my opinion. I've had a few other mesh jackets over the years but they always felt a little flimsy. the Motoport/Cycleport stuff feels bullet proof. I'm hoping to order some Kevlar pants later this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member wessie Posted June 12, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted June 12, 2015 Whatever you wear, especially if it has a breathable membrane, make sure you have a decent wicking layer underneath. I use EDZ leggings http://www.edzlayering.com/product-category/men/base-layers/ and a variety of sports tops. When touring, these items can be rinsed out and they will dry out overnight to use the next day. This allows you to pack a lot lighter for a trip. As far as outer clothing goes, I have an all season jacket from Hein Gericke which is goretex lined and has zipped vents. The company went bust so you can't buy it. Trousers are also vented and have a breathable membrane. Spada Summit from Ghostbikes. I also have a mesh jacket from Ghostbikes but it's rarely warm enough for that - just used in Italy a few times. The one I bought has been replaced with this higher spec job This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is.

papadage Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I like my Rukka Argo jacket and pants, and my TCX AirTech boots. All three and GoreTex bonded, breathe a bit, and in very hot weather, a wicking layer and opening the vents makes them plenty comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
