Title: Re: Beating the Heat Post by mastertangler on Jun 22nd, 2014 at 8:05pm
Good advice OS
I try and focus on the main areas of excess heat. The one area I can do something about is the armpits. I will either go with Sleeveless shirts or tanks which is my usual work attire. It is amazing how much difference it makes. But of course tanks in skeeter country and being burnt to a crisp isn't always a proper course of action. Enter in rail riders clothing. Much of their stuff has ventilation galore. The Eco mesh shirts have a strip of full length mesh on both arms right up to the armpits. Perfect for letting out excess heat. For the other area which gets bakified I merely strip off down to the base layer. And of course choice of hats has a lot to do with keeping your cool. I'm a big fan of the Sunrunner Lid. Light material with snap on neck protection. Simply primo. |
