I don't care how hot it is. I'm wearing my jacket and helmet. It may be a false sense of security, but I feel a lot free'er riding with my gear on. It sets me free, contrary to the thoughts of those who think they may be without a helmet or jacket on.
The few short trips I've made without, made me feel naked, and uneasy - "uncomfortable". I did not feel right.
I'm plenty comfortable naked, don't get me wrong, but out on two wheels is definitely not the time!
