Real pirates fly under the radar. Time to fire up TAILS. And there's always a risk they might deport me - "No, your honor, please - not marsupials". Still I was born in pirate country.

@Azisbest - 50°C qualifies as hot.

Scott - My wife gives all my bike gear a wide berth - apparently it smells of petrol and oil and will damage her machine.

I have been in 52c, I know hot lol.

I have once seen mid 50s - but the sun is then searing hot. And our house being stone acts like a night storage heater.

You wear shirt under it?

You wear shirt under it?

Yup - The stay dry sports type.

Avoid cotton. It wicks the water into your knick's and looks as if your pampers have leaked.

I wonder if these will fit inside an M/C helmet
TechNiche Evaporative Cooling Crown Coolers - TechNiche Europe
Or maybe one could re-purpose these
TechNiche Evaporative Cooling Wrist Wraps - TechNiche Europe

@mully95 This seems to be the thing to use if going Commando Evaporative Cooling Kewlshirt™ (Machine washable) - TechNiche Europe Designed to be worn against the skin for maximum cooling effect, with ventilation vents built into back and front panels

I've linked to the UK site.

Tried lots of wet based ideas here in Florida they work for a short bit then back to normal a good vented jacket is the best buy

Yeah the vendor web site says "works best in hot dry climate" -- same as swamp coolers. Not nice to fool mother nature.

If you wear cooling products in the Southern part of Texas you don't have to soak them first. Just stand outside in the shade it'll be soaked in 3-5 minutes. The only thing I've found to work reliably is Speed Another reason we need lanesharing in Tx
