gear for hot weather

[hattu345]

What gear do you use when the temp reaches above 35C / 100F ?

Do you still stick to boots or will hiking shoes do well?

Protective pants labeled for enduro riding may have the best ventilation?

armoured mesh gear?

the guy in the dainese shop told me that in some hot places people were the upper body armour that's normally used for motocross:

I live in AZ. It gets up to 120 degrees F here in the summer.

Up until yesterday, I've been wearing this since my wife gave it to me for father's day.

It's amazingly breathable and you hardly feel like you are wearing anything at all.

As of yesterday, it was just oo cold in the morning to wear it anymore...so I moved back over to my normal jacket but with no liner yet as it is still over 80 when I leave work, but barely 50 when I leave the house.

I've got this guy: Alpinestars T-GP-R Air jacket

I love it! Though I have the yellow/white/black version and it shows dirt like none other.
