Jayzao Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 It's 85F in Denver today, and it will only get hotter. What are some of the best hot weather riding gear for the upcoming EUC summer? I just transitioned to the shorts this weekend. If you have suggestions please throw in a link. Thanks! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donut Keeper Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 I recently switched to a motocross jersey and It works wonderfully with air breathability. I wear my elbow pads either under or over the jersey. Switched from wearing all black to lighter colors for better visibility and doesn't absorb as much heat. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
litewave Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 (edited) short shorts (5" inseam) [edit: these shorts sometimes go on sale for $7 (last week) - $15.00 (last summer)] or MTB shorts if you have nice legs on-the-skin kneepads light-colored, light-weight MTB helmet short-sleeve MTB top; light-colored MTB jersey, polo, or compression T Edited June 3 by litewave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigkidneys Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 I live in Florida and it's starting to get hot here as well. I've been using this helmet and knee pads and they are great for riding in hotter weather. The velcro is starting to fray so I may get the summer out of them. I have the Leatts but prefer these as they don't slide down as much. I have been thinking about getting one of these mesh armored shirts to wear over my normal dry wicking shirt. Not so much for the pads but to hide my man boobs and belly until I get my beach body back https://g-form.com/collections/knee/products/e-line-bike-knee-pad https://www.amazon.com/OutdoorMaster-Women-Two-Removable-Ventilation-Lightweight/dp/B0C24BHX4N/ref=sr_1_10?crid=1Z5L4KGC619ZT&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.AL_opTQhtb_8PXLQeG8jAZkRL0BPVvLNGVfpOGnnTHaWg2QhU_schfEQjOp0lgqTlmA8A5e0F6KyovGlbV30UKcZp9Hdog9mL7r_UwtG8zoium51UgOyJ74PScJCpOAyyfIiGDIUMGi97b2c51zLz5b7pXGz-foPBN54A6UyHy-0qUpQyBDPNpj6cNN8OPFGxMD9uZ3nVdlM3Md7nUaEjv3a2Qtu3qMM1ewujmTn3Vo9IMwtEd1_hqdDEjuInxY_vCYoXYT8ha6dQhQE1GTZcG98tBymmOar-ndcLJ0cvfU.UQvYj5XfmfkdDA7WtVf4da7qCKAUocvnFLWG8tsd8EU&dib_tag=se&keywords=outdoor%2Bmaster%2Bhelmet&qid=1717612123&sprefix=outdoor%2Bmaster%2Bhelmet%2Caps%2C97&sr=8-10&th=1 https://beyondriders.com/collections/protective-summer-mesh-shirts-for-men/products/protective-summer-mesh-shirt-dark-navy-blue-solid-with-pads?variant=44429673758884 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those kneepads look comfortable yet still robust. There seems to always be a comfort versus effectiveness dynamic. My most protective knee guards are the Leatt Z frame, and of course, they are a pain to put on, have pinch points (ouch!), and are a general pain in the a$$. Thanks again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Leatt Dual Axis are perfect for most on an EUC but they always slide no matter how much I tighten them. I sweat like crazy so that contributes to it I am sure.

litewave Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 (edited) Be wary of G-Form. One rider shattered his elbow wearing a set of the elbow pads. The thread below says Demon but they were actually G-Form. I have the Demon pads and they are very thick and work great. G-Form does *not* use D3O. Edited June 5 by litewave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
