[QUOTE="Mr Bill, post: 12137, member: 165"] Great info! I put ice in the leg pockets of my stich at stops just to get a half hour of cool legs. The water drips out of the seams of the pockets and does not get you wet because the suit is goretex. This makes it a little more comfortable (about 30 min) while you are getting up to speed. I had tried ice in the chest pockets, but found that the cold gave me a belly ache. Hottest I ever rode was in Perry Oklahoma in July 1981. 105 degrees in the shade and I had to get back to Colorado Springs for duty the next day. I wore my leathers to stop from being burnt up by the sun. They don't make temps like that here in the Northeast. About the jeans under the stich: Rider Warehouse says you should wear jeans or long pants under the stich to prevent burns in the event of a fall. Seems that a lot of heat is generated sliding on the ground in a stich. [/QUOTE]
