Wearing leathers in this heat has its issues and I am hearing a disturbing range of items that people are wearing/putting under them in order to keep cool/dry/non smelly !! Talcum powder being one of them !
Does anyone out there wanna share their experiences of things they have tried ?

My itsy weeny yellow polka dot bikini has worked pretty well upto now ...

Jood x

  

                                                                                                                                                                             

Leggings from Decathlon, light, thin, and stop big gear sticking.                                                                                                                                                                             

Or my pink polka dot bikini but that is at weekends only.

My experience from last week end, keep it cotton and keep it small! it worked for me. Kim                                                                                                                                                                             

@gbc2010 bike not big, bit of a freudian slip                                                                                                                                                                              

 sorry cant comment cos i dont wear leathers very often but i always wear my base layers under my jeans or textile trousers.if its a rare day when my leathers go on just my undies lol                                                                                                                                                                              

Last time you had your leathers on they had to cancel the tall ships race. Runs away laughing lol                                                                                                                                                                              

My leather trousers have got comfy silky linings so just nick nicks for me. But been wearing kevlar jeans the last week & what a relief they are.

As always signature brightly coloured floaty cotton or chiffon top preferably with sequins under jacket 

Washed my jacket last week & it was still damp when I went out again. That was pretty damn effective so might try spraying the lining with water & making it damp again next time I go out                                                                                                                                                                              

In heat this extreme I actually give up wearing leathers, not good I know but the way I figure it I'm more likely to have an 'off' in the first place if I'm suffering from overheating and not riding at 100%                                                                                                                                                                             

OK, I don't go this extreme, but it might work...
                                                                                                                                                                             

Blimey Centurion! Won't all the sunblock you need make your seat all slippery!                                                                                                                                                                              

arrrggghhh, my eyes, my eyes! lol
