OH! And to get off this whole freakin' helmet thing, 'cause as we ALWAYS see here, NOBODY'S freakin' "opinion", be it based on fact OR on some freakin' urban legend, is EVER gonna be changed one way or the other...and soooooo, I'VE been wondering why some guys here choose to ride in the heat in a leather jacket instead of an armored mesh one, or even maybe a perforated leather one?
Uh huh, 'cause believe it or NOT here all you T-shirt/leather vest wearin' riders out there, those MESH jackets ACTUALLY make you feel COOLER while you're out there in 80degree-plus weather than in just a T-shirt!
(..uh huh...BELIEVE it or NOT...and I should KNOW, livin' as I do in ARIZONA...uh HUH..and NOT to start all this freakin' helmet thing again, BUT this ALSO goes for wearin' a freakin' helmet TOO!!...and THAT is NO urban-freakin'-MYTH...it DOES keep ya cooler!)
Lemme agree with Dwight on this, because we had this conversation a few weeks ago. I rode from Yuma to Sedona in 114+ heat. Helemt and Mesh Jacket, the only sunburn I received was on my wrist between my glove and jacket cuff. With my helemt on it was HOT!!! but when I'd open the face shield to get some air it was like a blast furnace and I couldnt get a breath!!!
I'm glad I had my mesh on. It kept the sun off me and channeled the air up my arms and down my back.
The helmet was hot, but w/o a windscreen (cuz I hate windscreens) I couldnt breathe with that hot air hitting my face (which is what I asked Bob and crew Friday night at Dwights house, because Bob rides with a Half Helmet, how do you breathe that hot air??)
