Head and Neck Cooling

You may not realize how much keeping your neck cooler reduces overall body temperature. Soakable cool ties are an easy cheap way to keep your neck cooler even on the hottest days.

The wind blowing against the damp fabrique create a cooling effect when riding in hot weather. These neck ties have special fabric and beads that are designed to be soaked and can hold moisture for hours keeping your neck cooler.

Keeping sweat off your head is another way of staying comfortable in heat. Headliners or skull caps keep sweat off your head and away from helmet liner, reducing head itch while keeping helmet liner clean, just toss in wash.

Motorcycle Soakable Cool Vests

One of the best ways of keeping cool, just soak in water for a few minutes and these absorb and stay damp for hours. Tip, keep them out of the sun and underneath a summer mesh motorcyucle jacket that flows air thru entire jacket like below. At the very least a motorcycle jacket with as much air flow as possible. 

Fact, keeping your body shielded from the sun while keeping air circulating around your body is always the main focus. These motorcycle cool vests will stay cool and damp for hours underneath your mesh style motorcycle jacket.

If your not lucky enough to own a mesh style motorcycle jacket, wear something that blocks the sun with as much venting as possible. The hydrated vest and air flowing around your body, creates a nice evaporative cooling effect.

Summer Mesh Motorcycle Jackets 

Bottom Line.. Mesh style motorcycle jackets keep you cooler than any other motorcycle jacket period. Air flows thru the entire jacket, so the rider has the protection he or she needs along with Total Air Flow.

Combine with a soakable cool vest underneath, you'll be amazed how much cooler you will feel, even on the hottest of days.

Motorcycle Mesh Summer Riding Pants

Wearing pants in the summer is not very popular among most people due to the heat. However, remember how we said the best way to stay cool is to keep the sun off your body and keep the air flowing inside.

Mesh motorcycle pants are just like the mesh jackets, they will protect you, yet off total air flow due to it's mesh design.
