What do you wear while it is hot?

[Fidge]

Just curious what you wear when you are on your bike in this heat, I was sweating wearing a T-shirt and black leather jacket.

[CaNsA]

[rubyhorse2]

full leathers, always do. have to literally peel them off when i get home.

[andym]

In this heat, thermals, 2 t-shirts, hoodie, jacket with lining, jeans, bike trousers (again with lining), 3 pairs of socks, steel toe capped boots, ski mask, lid, scarf, heated grips etc

Not all of us got this "heatwave"

No I'm NOT FUCKING BITTER ABOUT IT AT ALL

[Fidge]

[andyscooter]

Ma01 army jacket jeans and walking boots

Same as every other day

Is there anything that provides some protection without you overheating? I'm going out in a t-shirt and shorts now but would like some magical fairy dust to protect me if a pothole 'appears out of nowhere'.

[grr666]

32 degrees on my patio in Bristol at the moment. It's 25 indoors in the shade.
I'd go out for a ride but have been unable to resist getting involved with the 4 one pint bottles of ice cold Cobra I had
in the fridge. Pottering about in the garden now instead, I'll ride tomorrow.

[Rogerborg]

Kevlar jeans, knee and hip armour. Army boots. Light leather gloves or kevlar + leather + hard armour tactical gloves or very occasionally knitted kevlar glass handling gloves for local jaunts. Never bare handed, ever, I don't even do that on a pushbike.

Open faced lid with awesomebodge^tm chin bar.

Lightweight mixed leather / textile jacket with knee/elbow/shoulder armour, vents front and back and big zips up the wrists. Unzip it as necessary (has not been necessary yet).

Heatwave has been postponed up here, but the rain was pretty vertical today which made a nice change. Waterproofs and gore-tex gloves always carried in top box, of course.

[Mario_Kempes]

To work, Alpinestars Valparaiso with all the vents open. Gloves and boots.
on a ride, Dainese Air Tourer SST, gloves and boots
Sometimes will put leather trousers on.

Around town I'll just wear an open helmet, gloves and normal clothes. T-shirt or whatever.

Ex paid for all that gear.

Shorts and t shirt no gloves.

[bikertomm]

I got the day off work today, hoping to get out later once the weather has cooled down a bit.

Nothing better than a summer evening ride through the countryside with fresh summer air IMO!

Will be leathered up!

[stinkwheel]

If it's very hot. Shorts, a hawaiian shirt, good quality sunscreen and some shades.

If local regulations allow, I'll substitute a bandanna for a helmet.

In the UK, I can usually still cope with a pair of lightweight combat/kevlar trousers and a leather jacket (sometimes unzipped). Lightweight merino t-shirt under it for wicking and lack of stink.

[Albigularis]

Jeans and a very lightweight zipper jumper, and gloves.

Was out in a tshirt again this morning though, you sure do get some odd looks. It was about 12 degrees, humid and not raining. And that's unbearably hot in the city.

Living in America must be horrible on a bike.

If it's a fast ride - ie country roads or motorway, I'll chuck the leathers and jacket on. But if it's into the city, screw it. I'd wear Lycra on a pushbike in the same situation so I'm not going in looking like a bomb disposal unit just because this bike happens to have an engine.

[winz]

Shorts and T shirt, flip flops.

On the bike, Kevlar jeans, leather jacket, walking boots and gloves. Like normal.

[Orennayar]

RST ventilator jacket & trousers with all the layers off.
and nothing under
without the waterproof and thermal it's pretty much nylon mesh with armor so it's quite fresh as long as you're moving

[Howling TerrorOutOfOffice]

I wear what keeps me most comfortable. If it was a long motorway haul I'd go for jacket and kevlar jeans and ditch the jacket when not going hyperspeed.
