I bought my first bike this September so I missed out on the hot and humid weather this season. As a newb, I’ve been told time and time again that leather jackets are best (for protection) which is why I bought one. I just can’t see myself keeping it on for those hot sticky days.
Same here, bought my first bike in Sept as well and it's been nice cool weather since. And yes we were taught in school to always wear leathers and full gear. But.. when i was at the rider school in August is was BRUTAL in the 30+ heat with all that on.. i just cannot imagine myself wearing all that stuff when next summer rolls around. Gonna look for a light textile or denim jacket with protection. But like you said, what do you do with that stuff if you want to go hiking or somewhere out and don't have saddle bags or anything?
