Zitat von IPaul im Beitrag #15Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #14Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #8 As long as you can keep some air circulation under the waterproof liner, that should work. On a relatively stiff shell, like an Aerostich, I've had it work. On thin liner shells, I've typically experienced a stifling trash bag glued to my body.

So I ended up buying the Rukka AirAll jacket and pants. Rode with them yesterday for the first time and I’m pretty impressed. Temp was 87 when I got off the bike, and I was inside before I even unzipped the jacket. Now compare that to my Klim Carlsbad jacket and pants, where as soon as I stop first thing I do is unzip in that temp. Huge difference, and my first impressions are fantastic. |

I disagree here, if you get too hot you sweat, if you have no air flow you have no evaporative cooling effect (the purpose of sweating) so that means you get hotter and sweat more. A jacket which moves air over your skin and causes the sweat to evaporate generates cooling so you stay cooler and so should sweat less. Of course you can still end up dehydrated so it's always important to rehydrate. The problem comes when you feel dry all day because of effective evaporation, and that dry feeling affects your perception of loss through sweat. |

Zitat von Bunter im Beitrag #19 100F in Louisiana humidity and 100F in Arizona humidity are two radically different experiences requiring different equipment.

This is my Spada Burnout, great jacket for £130. Waterproof and good vents. Been through some heavy rain just today.IMG_9013.JPG - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte) |

Held Tropic II. Massive mesh areas, flows air (and water) in huge quantities. The blue one matches a Lupin and the red one matches the Fury. I think they might even do a white one for those non-colour bikes. But you do need some waterproofs, to put over the top if it gets wet. |

Zitat von Bunter im Beitrag #22 In areas of high humidity the cooling effect one gets does not remove large volumes of moisture (sweat), so open air flow gear is acceptable, you are wet and cooling so sweat less. Low humidity with high temps, the air flow strips away moisture since the air is not saturated (100% in most of the East), thus one sweats more losing moisture volume. This climate is not conducive to open air flow jackets, you WANT something to keep moisture near your skin for cooling. Scant explanation. Not examples, but I hope a little theoretical understanding of the difference. |

Zitat von Pietah im Beitrag #21 I also use the MACNA evaporative vest. Many people don't use this technology.... but it is very usefull |
