[QUOTE="garyahouse, post: 1326397, member: 20946"] The problem is not the wrong clothes, it's a combination of no airflow and nothing to cool you off. A veskimo will end your problems, but they're pricey. Alternative? I put a set of Baker air wings (fairly cheap actually) on my bike. I hung them off the mirror stalks: air wings on top and my driving lights on the bottom. They bring just enough air in to cool me off fairly well. Of course that doesn't help much in the desert with temperatures hovering near 115, but here in rotten, humid Florida, it makes quite a difference. Half the time I just have one air wing pointing at me, it's plenty of air.
