Beat the Heat: Essential Motorcycle Gear for Summer Rides

As the summer months roll in, motorcyclists face a unique set of challenges that can put a damper on their riding experience. From scorching temperatures that can lead to dehydration to thick, uncomfortable riding gear, the heat can be a major distraction and even a safety hazard. However, with the right motorcycle apparel, you can beat the heat and enjoy your summer rides to the fullest. Here are some motorcycle gear options that can help you better regulate your temperature when riding.

1. Stay Cool with a Well-Vented Helmet

Shoei Neotec 3 Modular Helmet

When temperatures soar above 80 degrees, a poorly ventilated motorcycle helmet can quickly become a burden, especially if you're wearing a full-face model. The Shoei Neotec 3 offers a solution with its modular design. The flip-up face cover and faceshield deliver flexibility and convenience, allowing riders to easily communicate and hydrate without removing the helmet, enhancing both safety and comfort during long rides.

2. Keep Your Grip with Breathable Gloves

Don't let sweaty hands compromise your safety or your ability to stay connected. The Noru Doro Vented Leather Gloves offer a subtle yet cool design that's equally at home on a cruiser, streetfighter, or cafe racer. With leather and double-layer palms, along with an inconspicuous knuckle shield, these gloves provide protection while strategically placed stretch panels and venting keep fingers comfy and cool. Plus, like all Noru gloves, they're touchscreen compatible, so you can stay connected on the go.

3. Stay Protected and Ventilated with a Breathable Jacket

A good summer riding jacket should strike a balance between protection and ventilation. The Noru Kuki Vented Textile Jacket is a versatile technical mesh jacket suitable for nearly any occasion. Its mesh design keeps you cool when it's hot, and you'll stay cozy with its quilted liner zipped in when riding in cold weather. Comfort is assured via its stretch panels, a variety of adjustments, and an American-style cut. C.E. approved armor shields the shoulders and elbows from impacts, giving you peace of mind on the road.
