I used to wear one of these when I spent a summer working in a warehouse in Arkansas. It worked very well.

Anybody ever use the Tourmaster perforated leather pants? I just returned a pair of Fieldsheer mesh pants. They were too baggy. How about the perforated leather?

I have an off-brand perforated leather jacket that works great. I just need to lose five pouns so it fits again.

I rode yesterday..It was 80 degrees on the ride back. I had on my HD mesh jacket and some heavy cargo pants. I want a little more protection but it has to flow some air. I sweat my butt off in regular jeans when it gets hot. I may just get the Bohn body armor and some Diamond Gusset kevlar jeans. I have also been looking at those Icon jeans with the ventilated panels. There is so much technology out there I'm sure I'll find something that protects that doesn't roast my butt.

I dunno Jazzman, don't think there is anything cooler than jeans, unless you want to ride in your boxers (which I did once a long time ago). Those kevlar (panel) jeans are very hot, but probably the best protection there is.

Hey, what happened to the "Me and my ride" thread? Was hoping to see more mug shots from the readers.

Maybe they just aren't as handsome as we are!

I like the wet T-shirt idea. Anyone have any suggestions on how I can convince my girlfriend that this is for her comfort ONLY?
