[QUOTE="russperry, post: 1214061, member: 22548"] Agree with Twigg on the benefit of keeping buttoned up. I crossed the Nevada desert in '13 when the temperature was an indicated 110+ for over 8 hours. I was using a manual method of providing water onto my UnderArmour shirt (from water bottles in my tank bag) and kept the jacket fully closed up with no vents open. I was able to make it with only a single break under some very rare trees at a rest stop just west of Tonopah, then made it the rest of the way to Alamo NV in pretty good shape and without any adverse reactions. Now I don't know if I was so much "enjoying" it, but the ride was not unduly harsh on me and I considered it a success.... [/QUOTE]
