The wife and I both wear these vests, silver please, and have been comfortable at well over 100 degrees in So alifornia.
Stop every hour and a half to two hours, hydrate the body and the vest, and head out again.

RE: keeping cool
We rode in a lotta heat last summer. Kept a travel bag on the lugage rack that had a smaller zippered compartment on each side. In those we had small soft coolers we got at Sunny Surplus that held three 20 oz bottled waters and ice. We also got some tie on bandana things that you put in ice water, then tie around your neck and the stay cold/cool for better than an hour. I acually need too figure were the heck I got them from. We would also soak our head bandanas that we wore under helmets in the ice water.

RE: keeping cool
I like my PARTY ANIMAL Cooling Vest. However, here's a link for several cooling vests by multiple companies.
Choose your vest of choice !

BTW - Party Animal also has cooling skull caps that are a blast also.
