Ain't been no picnic down here in Florida. Even with all the vents open on my Shoei, by the time I get to where I'm going, take off the brain bucket, my hair is soaked with sweat, and usually sweat dripping from my beard! And there are always afternoon showers to keep things all nice and sauna like. Let's not even talk about the SKEETERS!

Nice balmy and sunny 2C 36F at the moment 10:45AM I like Canberra winters.
Not wanting to get into a p@#$%ng contest here vis a vis the weather but NOBODY is riding a scoot when it is 119 unless they absolutely have to. But it is kinda weird, the only sweat that is visible in these temps is the swamp ass where you butt hits the seat. All the other sweat is instantly evaporated.

If you can ride any day you want - then I'd agree. But my "free" riding day - I go out unless it's ice&snow weather. Today is that day.
Gear - based on A LOT of testing. Vented sure - but too much breeze causes dehydration - and once the air is HOT you're better off steaming in your own mini-sauna.
You need solar insulation & the best there is - is leather. So perforated leather across upper chest, shoulders and upper back - also I recommend around kidneys.
I am currently field testing HYPERKEWL kit. The VEST works well here. Just received their "beanie" which will fit inside my helmet. That gets tested later today. 40°C plus later for sure. Also have some wrist coolers and a "bandana" - those I have my reservations about so far - but they've not been field tested yet.
What I still have not fully sussed is lower body cooling. It's awkward on R3s. It's a bloody big heatpump.
3D mesh seat covers kill swamp ass. The ones @Ishrub seems to find on alibaba.
