With summer comes the hot humid motorcycle riding weather. Most of us want to wear lightweight but protective motorcycle apparel to keep cool during our rides but mainly during those pit stops for gas and drinks or just to take a break. The typical motorcycle clothing such as leather jackets, boots, pants, gloves and helmets will cause you to perspire more than if you were sitting in a sauna so what or better yet where do we find motorcycle clothing for hot weather riding that offers decent protection yet does not wither you away to the look of a dried prune? Lets start with the helmet. Most good helmets on the market today offer average to excellent air flow through the helmet to keep your brain from boiling and the motorcycle helmet is not really an option for most of us due to the laws in our state's requiring the driver and passenger on the motorcycle wear a helmet. Even in states with a no motorcycle helmet required law it is still a good idea to wear one. When shopping for a new motorcycle helmet read a few reviews on how the helmet fits and how efficient the air vents are at moving air through the helmet. This air flow will also help to keep your helmet windshield from fogging up on you. And nothing is more frustrating than a helmet you can not see out of because the windshield is constantly clouding up.
