Be surprised if that jacket didn't have some vents, somewhere. Start unzipping pockets until you find some that aren't pockets.
Caught with a touring jacket on in summer creeping through towns I've just unzipped the jacket almost completely, too.
Me also, quicker to change, and a couple of thin thermals is more effective than the liner in most jackets I've had.
Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon
Bike gear gets very hot very quick if your sitting around. Once you get moving it shouldn't be a problem, especially if you open the vents.
There is a grey blur, and a green blur. I try to stay on the grey one. - Joey Dunlop
for what it cost it surely must have vents I'll have a look today. I don't really know it's features I just bought it cause it looked cool![]()
Helmet feeling a little bit looser than your wanted? Try putting a beany on under it. I use a sleeveless hoodie for riding, the hood is just at makng my helmet snug, the bonus being the hoodie is warm on my neck, and when stopped anywhere, I dont have to find a place to put that beany, neck warmer, ski mask, balaclava, or one of those other things I see riders removing at stops. When its hot, just leave it off.
And I agree with others, that you get hot when stationary in any riding gear, its desiged for riding comfort ...remember.
Oh BTW you make that riding gear look Hawt!

oh yes, I understand what you're saying, there's zips but now I can't remember if I had them up or down when I tried to put them over my boots. I think maybe the zips didn't come high enough and the top of the boots was so wide was hard to get the pants over em. I haven't tried again today, maybe later
tried it again last night, I can get them over my boots and can only just get the Velcro strap connected to the fluffy side, can get the zips half way down, not all the way, I guess that will have to do, better than looking like a douche!
