What Do You Wear?

[DJFaninTN]

So let's say you are going on a few days trip. Basically four lane divided highway and speed limit around 55 - 65mph. The temps are going to be around 90 with full sunshine. What are you going to wear? Are you going with a full textile or mesh jacket or maybe just a long sleeve tee shirt? Or are you totally crazy and are willing to go with shorts and a short sleeve tee shirt???

Of course you would be wearing a helmet as well.

We were having a discussion tonight with a friend and I wanted to see what most others would be saying.

Being in the military I get to wear the full get-up no matter how hot it is. I usually just go with a long sleeve shirt, jeans, boots, gloves and full face helmet. Sometimes i'm thankful I have to wear it all, especially when bugs hit me at 70mph!

Sunscreen...sorry, couldn't help it.

We would be in long sleeve T's good ryding pants solid lace on shoes or shorty boots and " heat away " under it all. Perhaps our water beaded kerchiefs...this will keep us cool. This is according to the roads mentioned...

I was new to the riding world when I bought my Spyder in 2011. I always remember reading on SL, "dress for the slide, not for the ride." You can't have too much protection...

i am more of jacket of some short kind of guy, jeans, boots, helmet. been wearing my high viz first gear kilimanjaro jacket most of the time. now since it is getting 90 that is warm.

tried a mesh jacket from cycle gear and it was hotter than my first gear jacket . that one went back quickly. very poor airflow.

i hate being around those big rigs and bugs come back and whack you pretty hard.


if its a quick run to town to eat mexican than I might just go tee shirt, helmet and jeans.

I have a mesh jacket from Tourmaster. It has a zip out liner that is real good. The jacket is a very nice jacket. Lots of zippers, Velcro adjustments, etc. And the zip out liner is pretty warm on a chilly day--not perfect for cold weather--but when the temps get into the high 60's it works just fine.
