Well it gets into the triple digits here in Oklahoma and it is really hard to rock a jacket at those kinda of temperature. So i have been looking at alternatives and was wondering is anyone had any experience with Fox Armor.

I want to use it instead of my jacket during the summer for commuting back and forth from work.

I think those are going to be hotter then a nice perf'd jacket...

Just unzip the top a little when it heats up...

But I don't ride if it's over 90 here anyway... call me old... but sweating my ass off in 110 heat is not my idea of fun....

come to PHX.. you get stuck in traffic with a leather jacket on and you want to just fall over.

Ya I bet, I was riding up in Tahoe last year in the middle of summer - (it stays cool up there all summer) I normally head home early before it gets hot here in the valley, well that day I stayed late and had to ride in traffic for about 25 minutes at 105........ I thought I was going to passout on the bike.

by the looks of that thing you might as well just wear a jacket and instead of riding on those triple digit days just dont lol

I have a Dianese body armor suit that I use in the summer a lot. It cools pretty well. I wear a t-shirt under it then a shirt over it. Can get a little sweaty under the spine pad but not nearly as bad at a stop light as the Joe Rocket summer jacket I have.
Orlando doesn't hit tripple didgets often but we have like a BILLION % humidity.

PS. the armor makes you look like your the Hulk.

we wear that stuff out my way... but we stunt when we wear that so its not the same....

and keep in mind thats for dirt bikes (overall)

 

[Nate749]

Those suits are for dirtbikes. Probally not to good in case of a fall. I think I would rather take my chances in a light summer jacket without the liner in. Or be smart and hope in your cage with some a/c blowin.

Alpinestars makes a jacket that is basically mesh and body armor...it's the bare minimum but even has a built in back protector. I think it's called the something bionic.

I still wear my leather jacket even if it's over 100 out. Just my piece of mind. Oh and we can split lanes.

 

[Grandevil]

I can't stand to be sitting still when it's so hot out (AND HUMID!) with the fan blowing hot air on you.

I have to get a picture of me on a stand up with my ass showing this summer... I keep hearing of the stories of my friends doing it. i got to do it but have a picture to go along with my memories/stories

Damnit Anthony I don't want to see your ass.

-------------------------

as for the jacket... they work for slow speeds but not to be riding hard...

Oh and Mike, How much weight do you lose in a day with those leathers on?

Damnit Anthony I don't want to see your ass.

I know, but hey you got to see it when i tell my story.... (no ****)

Oh and we can split lanes.

We can too, it's just not entirely legal...

[Plastic Cup Politics]

I still wear mine WHEN it's 100 out.

not if, 100 here is like a typical cool 80 in CA.

 

[sqrly]

I did 500mi last summer in 103deg. temps, rocking this getup.

Shoei RF-1000.
Vanson jacket, NOT perferated.
JoeRocket Balistic, over-pants, with jeans under.
Technic waterproof boots.

I was absolutely on fire! But well protected fire.
