[QUOTE="PhilJet09, post: 1326403, member: 20341"] Here are a coule things I confirmed last year out west with several days above 100. 1. No cotton, anywhere. This means underware, socks, etc. High performance synthetics are your friend. They remove moisture efficiently and keep you cooler. 2. No exposed skin, anywhere. My jacket sleeve rode up a bit crossing the Mojave, it was the worst sunburn I got...1/2" on my wrist. 3. Cooling vest when it's really hot, worn under a mesh jacket. 4. Mid 90's and above it becomes a matter of insulating yourself from the hot blast of air. Crossing the desert in 115 degrees, I wore LD underware only under my non-mesh riding pants. Under armor t-shirt with cooling vest and mesh jacket up top. Keeping my helmet visor closed was more comfortable than open. 5. Drink lots of water, often. [/QUOTE]
