AC for the Spyder?

[M2Wild]

I thought A/C is included with our Spyders .... temp control knob is on the right side. Twist towards you to increase cooling.

interesting....do u have one?

I live right around the corner from you. A mesh suit and a cooling vest have been a part of my summer riding gear for years. I sometimes put mine in the refrigerator before a ride. I get both direct cooling and evaporative cooling that way. The vests aren't as effective as they would be in lower humidity, but they help a lot. They don't work so well behind some of the big "barn door" windshields. I take my CHAD off in the summer and go back to the original "touring" windshield from BRP.

I will probably buy one of the cooling vests this summer as well. Almost anything is worth a try at that time of the year.

Worn under a mesh jacket, this works pretty darn well to keep you cool if the humidity isn't too high. Mine is a different brand but the same thing. It's like wetting down a t-shirt, then riding, except that it absorbs enough water to last a lot longer than a wet t-shirt.

Thanks for the tip Cotton. I ride all summer with a Cortech mesh jacket. I used to ride in t-shirts only, now I don't get sunburn after being on the road all day.
