24 degrees here this arvo, not that hot but after an hour on the Hawke’s Bay roads I noticed how hot I got...sweaty even.
Looking for suggestions on Summer riding clothing...or other tips to stay comfortable.
TIA

Airflow jacket and pants
The wind blows straight through. Brilliant in summer.
Train your body to absorb it back in.
Mmmmm.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
Rev'it Tornado 2 mesh textile jacket. It has a zip-out waterproof liner which can be used as a casual jacket. Excellent in higher temperatures and good for high single figures with the liner in. I haven't found any downside in 12 months of ownership. Mind you, I've also got 2 piece leathers and full winter grade Cordura so there are plenty of options.
Goretex.
Pick your brand.
...tee shirt and jandals ...
Every time I go over to Japan I pick up a new 'cool suit' (their words not mine) that is just an under layer that absorbs sweat and keeps you cool. They're in every bike store there and only around $20, no doubt you can get something similar here.
Ride faster.
Once again the combined wisdom of the group is helpful. Thanks, input appreciated.
But which T shirt and which Jandals?
Skip the jandals ... slip on's are better. they don't split your toes when you put your feet down. The leather ones are good (More protection). Easier with most types to change gear with too.
Sleeveless t-shirts are better looking for those with muscles. Tuck them into your shorts ... otherwise a few bumblebee's will get inside your T-shirt.
When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...
You guys are good... would cutting off my mullet help me a bit more?
I only think of polypropylene for keeping warm...so that has me thinking.
Don't forget the pack of Durries under rolled Tshirt sleeve, because if you look cool you are cool and nothing is as cool as smoking , even though you never actually saw the Fonz sucking on a Camel..
