What about Gatoraid in addition to just water?

Gatoraid is good, but it can tend to have a lot of sugar unless you find a sugar free kind. Depending on how health-conscious you are with sugar, that can be an issue, especially if you're going to guzzle down a gallon or more on a real hot day.

Wife and I live on the High Desert in Southern California, and have a house is South-West Arizona. It is hot here and there in the summer, fortunately very low humidity...

We both have Harley Mesh jackets with armored elbows and shoulders. Wind passes right through them. We also have Harley Hydro Vests. Soak them for about 5 minutes, it takes about an hour to evaporate the water, cooling your upper body 15 to 20 degrees. Wouldn't ride out here without one!!

Short rides it is a tank top and shorts.....
