I like to think I am MTGATT, but I'm not. I don't "suit up" if I'm just running to the PO or a quick trip to the grocery store (although those are probably the most important times). For most other riding, I do wear MTGATT (I may substitute jeans for riding pants and tennis shoes for boots at times).
I'm about to take on a trip around the southern plains in the next couple of weeks and could use some tips on staying cool. I'm already planning to do most of my riding in the morning before it gets too hot, but would also like some tips as I will most likely get stuck in the afternoon heat somewhere at some time or another. I kind of like to be prepared.
I'm thinking shorts under riding pants, my jacket, a semi airy pair of hiking boots, gloves and modular helmet will be my standard wear (most are gray/silver, helmet is red). What should I bring to assist staying cool? Thanks!
