Summer Protective Gear Poll
I'm curious how many bagger riders wear protective gear in hot weather. Leather jacket and chaps feel great in cool/cold weather but not so sure I can handle 90+ and leather.

Leather w/armour or mesh w/armour. Helmet - even though we have an option in this state. Don't care what others do, but fer me, iffen yer on mah bike, yer wearin' a lid.

Mesh in the summer. Helmet too. I like my skin wear it is; prefer to not leave it on the pavement. Jeans, but thinking about jeans with armor. Gloves, yes! When I took the Advanced Rider Course one of the guys dropped his bike on a training turn... it landed on his finger... open tipped gloves. Crushed bloody finger! The instructor used it as a reason why he always wears full finger. Who knows, there's risk and clearly some of us are willing to take more. I wear full leather, full face, full gloves when it is cool.

Olympia Voyager - waterproof, vented and armored
Or
Olympia Airglide mesh armored jacket when it's real hot.
Helmet, leather gloves, jeans and cruiserworks boots round out the gear.
The mesh jacket doesn't even feel like it's there when you are moving.
