Default Damnn its hot out! What gear do you wear?

Well I just got back from a short trip and its only 94 out, but holy mother of god am I dying out there in traffic! Since I still have my Chicago gear, its really not working too well living down here and I'm looking for some recommendations on jackets/gloves that you guys have and/or things you do too keep cool on longer rides, espically in 100+ degree heat.

Good ventilating helmet.... Soumy Spec1R Extreme also Arai RX-7 Corsair
Astar S-MX Plus Vented Boots
Astar S-MX Air-Flo Jacket
Astar Octane S-Moto Vented Gloves

This is just what I wear and works well for me in the heat.
Dont' forget the UA Heat gear too.

Suck it up..... Who told you this was fun........... . Out here in SoCal. I have HJC CL-13 (EZ-BACK OVEN). JoeRocket Jacket. Not sure what gloves. One shirt under jacket and KEEP MOVIN'.. I know y'all can' split lanes but find a safe way to keep it moving..... That humidity is one of the only things I'm not looking forward to. But I will be moving in to the Mckinney are by the first of the year. GOOD LUCK.... Sticky down, shinny up.

*sigh*... yeah today felt like 103 and i had to ride for 2 and a half hours straight. Sad to say but i wear a mesh whenever i cruise around town and am not doing anything stupid. If i do some serious riding, i usually wear my leather no matter how hot it is... cuz i'm usually constantly moving.
