The last time I rode in the summer was 20 years ago on a Honda 50cc so my "gear" consisted of a 3/4 helmet and a bandana tied cowboy-style to keep the bugs from dropping down my shirt. :shock:
Now, I've got the textile/body armor jacket, full-face helmet, etc. and would greatly appreciate any info you'd care to share re: keeping cool in the summer time. (I do know the best time to ride is during the morning hours.) Jersey/PA summers can be pretty humid. I do have a Camelback hydration system that I'll be using to prevent dehydration and some Coolmax t-shirts.
Have any of you tried the hydrocool vests, ties, etc. and found them to be worth recommending? Do these products soak your t-shirts/shirts and make it uncomfortable?
Thanks!
