    Yeah but it's a dry heat. 115 out west is way more tolerable than 95 in Fla with the humidity. Still.. it's like sticking your head in an oven instead of a sauna.

    Yes sirre, the 'high desert' can get really cold (not as common in the low desert). In fact, when I was stationed at Eddies Air Patch (Edwards AFB)which is considered high desert, we actually got snow that winter. Brrrrrr

    You, the Alaskan, nearly froze. I was born late,,,,but not that late.

    Up north here i have learned by wearing a mesh jacket in warm weather it actually traps air in side of the jacket keeping me cooler longer however i don't know if this will work with the high humidity of florida.

    I'm in Texas but it was 80 degrees today. The temp is fine with a short sleeve shirt under my motorcycle jacket without the winter lining but at a stop light it is bacon frying temperature. I may invest in one of those jackets that is thin mesh everywhere except where the protective material is(shoulders, back, elbows, chest, ribs). It's only April.

    I can only think what a great mosquito trap a mesh jacket would be ryding thru the Everglades.
    The mosquitoes are soo thick here that you need a windshield wiper on your face shield. You have to cover your mouth with a bandana too keep them from getting between your teeth.
