The hot weather can be brutal, both on you and your motorcycle. But with the right gear, you can stay cool and comfortable while enjoying the ride. Here's what you need to beat the heat.

The Right Helmet

A good motorcycle helmet is essential for hot weather riding. Look for one that has plenty of ventilation to keep your head cool. 

A sun visor can also be helpful to keep the sun out of your eyes. If the helmet doesn't come with a sun visor, you'll want to protect your eyes with a pair of sunglasses.

The Right Outerwear

Motorcycle jackets and pants are important for protecting your skin from the sun and in the event of a fall. 

But not all motorcycle riding outerwear will be great in the heat. Focus on light-colored clothing made from a breathable material. While leather looks great, it's usually too hot in the summer months.

The Right Footwear

Boots are another essential piece of gear. They should be comfortable and provide good support for your feet and ankles. If standard riding boots are too hot for your feet, look for options with ventilation features.

The Right Cooling Accessories

There are plenty of cooling accessories that can be worn on a motorcycle ride. Bandanas, neckerchiefs, and cooling vests can be a helpful resource on the hottest days.

With the right gear, you can stay cool and comfortable while riding in hot weather. So don't let the heat keep you off your bike - hit the road and enjoy the ride!
