I recommend layers or electric gear. We had snow in the hills last week and now it's in the high 80s. The road between Lake Louise and Jasper is among the prettiest in North America but the wildlife at night is plentiful so plan on shutting down well before dark to stay safe.
We live in the Calgary area and if you need any help while you're here, give me a shout (pm me for contact info).
Have a great trip

Between Glacier and Banff, I'd highly recommend Hwy 22, the so-called Cowboy Trail.
Three of us made the trip in 2005. Weather, like folks said above varied greatly.
My son at Many Glaciers, GNP
Somewhere on the Cowboy Trail, Hwy 22
Big damn horn at Lake Louise, AB
"Daddy I'm cold and seen enough glaciers."
"OK, son. I told you that mesh jacket would suck. Let's ride down to Vegas, I think it's warmer there."

I am heading to the NW in late August. We ride to the Rockies every labor day. Heavy wool socks, long johns, jeans, shirts, water/wind proof insulated pants and jacket, and Gerbings Electric works for us. I still like to take my leather for those times when it is in the 60's and 70's and not raining.
