Summer jacket/Trousers
 
Can anyone recommend a lightweight set for the current heatwave, I've got a Hein Gerike Tuareg set that is for summer use (but is still heavy/hot), but I need something really light-weight. Any ideas ?

Alpine Stars Airflo (i think) is fairly good and can be had fairly cheaply
but






don't worry the heat probably won't last long lol, it will be raining and cold again soon

There is a lightweight Tuareg set you can get, well vented and reasonably cheap.......

I use the jacket for trail riding and it has two frontal flaps and most of the back opens up. the sleeves are vented all the way from top-to-bottom too.

I think the pants have zip off bottoms.

I wouldn't want to come of the bike at any speed though!

Heat wave :D all of 32degrees for a day :D :D

Clothing...I have a Suomy mesh jacket...fits well and keeps me koool (until I stop at traffic lights!!) Trousers : Spidi. Can't remember the model for either though. Sorry

That's the one i've got's it's still a bit heavy for me. Still panic over, it's gonna be raining by the weekend!

Dainese do a "set" of separates; mesh jacket and some pants with mesh inserts at the thighs/knees. Padded/Armored at the shoulder/elbows and knee/hip. Back protectors available too.

They look "Dainese Good", but you pay Dainese prices!

I'm using a Joe Rocket mesh jacket with Draggin Jeans (blue) and SIDI Bootees.

<blushes>

At my "running in" speeds it's all i think i need.

i've read about the Joe Rocket jacket elsewhere, it got a good review, i might have a look. I can't afford (not allowed!) to spend Dianese money having just bought the bike.
