mike64 Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Buy one of the new Airoh helmets, very light with vents in them, bit like an mtb helmet, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mokwepa Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Come ride in south africa for a bit. Im training every day at the moment. Usually between 1300 and 1400 and it averages about 25C, and its mid winter here. Summer time might be a issue as we get 40+C most days but it never stopped me before on my enduro bike, full body armour and all. Trials will be a pleasure this summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffe Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 What! 20 degrees? That's nearly too cold to ride in North Queensland. As mentioned above good helmet, a shirt that lets the air through, we always ride with a "Camelback" type of water carrying thingy. Actually I can't remember riding with out it since I started up riding again two years ago. But a helmet that has good air flow is the go. Cheers Taff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0007 Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Hmmm, 20c is room temperature Good riding temp, it gets over 30 and I'm not into riding anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffe Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Might depend where the room is. I get a sweaty helmet, shirt and cloves no matter what the temperature. In winter, if we start early enough or ride late enough in the day, could be 18deg, we still look like we've riding in the rain, it's not so much the temp as the humidity that's the killer.

charlie chitlins Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Lightweight, close-fitting, long sleeved, cotton shirt. For the same reason that the wilderness types say "Cotton Kills" or "Cotton is rotten", it keeps you cool. People in plastic jerseys that are like wearing a garbage bag with a few holes in it think I'M crazy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copemech Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 I like a nice cool wet towel tucked into the neck of a T-shirt or jersey! Refresh out of the camelback if need be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samy Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 It's 20 degrees here, middle of winter and i'm rugged up with my jacket and long pants... bbrrrrrrrrrrrr 20 degrees is too cold to go riding 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
