[QUOTE="Fastfar, post: 12069, member: 210"] Some good info there...I think I can add some points. When riding in very hot weather evap cooling of the body (sweating) is a natural process that I add to by dousing my shirt and the inside layer of my back armor with water. With the wind screen almost fully up, I get a nice little push against my back that puts that wet layer of armor firmly in contact, as well as some air across my upper chest. With the 'stich vents open, the water evaporates from both the shirt and back armor and I ride cooler than I thought possible while wearing my Roadcrafter in over 100 degree temps . I still drink lots of water, and pour lots over my inner layers at every stop. But the level of comfort this adds is amazing. And with a wet-gel neck wrap and a camelback, I can handle the heat for as long as needed. An occasional stop at one of Norcal's many swimming holes doesn't hurt either... :lol: [/QUOTE]
