Must confess to never really feeling the heat quit ethat much that it burned. Not a big issue in the UK I think.

What trousers you wear will also determine how mush heat you feel. Tighter jeans/denims will transmit the heat much more than loose textile trousers with possible double layers. Loose trousers are better I'd say.

More riders will be along soon to give their varied opinions. All part of the forum fun.

Sandman.

PS. I rode through Almaty last year and hats off to you if thats where you ride most of the time....the traffic was manic!!!!!
