Wearing leathers in this heat has its issues and I am hearing a disturbing range of items that people are wearing/putting under them in order to keep cool/dry/non smelly !! Talcum powder being one of them !
Does anyone out there wanna share their experiences of things they have tried ?

My itsy weeny yellow polka dot bikini has worked pretty well upto now ...

My leather trousers have got comfy silky linings so just nick nicks for me. But been wearing kevlar jeans the last week & what a relief they are.

As always signature brightly coloured floaty cotton or chiffon top preferably with sequins under jacket

Washed my jacket last week & it was still damp when I went out again. That was pretty damn effective so might try spraying the lining with water & making it damp again next time I go out

In heat this extreme I actually give up wearing leathers, not good I know but the way I figure it I'm more likely to have an 'off' in the first place if I'm suffering from overheating and not riding at 100%

I have a Under Armour top I use for Bikeing and a few othere sports, They can keep you cooler in the summer. Simular design as the millatary use in hot counterys under there boady armour to keep troops cool and to stop overheating.
There are a few diffrent makes and I belive Sports Direct and a few othere sport shops sell simular tops, You might have seen football players running around with what looked like long sleve tops under there team tops, the same thing lol, keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter.
