You are right to a point. I'm much hotter in jeans than my riding pants but...this past Wednesday I headed out for the day. Started out in my Olympia Ranger pants (tall BMW boots with even taller boot socks). By the time I got to Knoxville I was burning up. Took off the Rangers and put on the Airglides (felt better). I wish I had brought the therometer with me so I could have taken some readings but it was very hot from my knees down. When it hit 95 I said screw it and took my Airglide jacket off (this was in town) and I cooled down some then. When I started back home and hit the interstate the jacket came back on (feels more comfortable at speeds than a T-shirt). I had my gloves off and it was so hot around my knees (left side much more so) that I could only hold my hand there for a bit. It just seems like the heat sits in that area and this is with the windshield all the way down (where I perfer it). If I raise it up it pulls the heat up my body and is hot all over then. I guess I'll try the header rap and the fairing deflectors as I really want to make this work out but as of now I just don't like riding it when it gets much above 80
