Just back from a RTE (another thread), I covered a few miles and rode in temps from the low 40s to highest on the Wing's temp gauge of 107. Good ride, no rain, some wind in southern WY and north UT and I would guess a little hot. At most mid-day fuel stops there would be bikes and riders spread out under whatever shade was available. The one commonality was all were in jeans and t-shirts, most helmets I saw were skid lids. Folks would look at my ATGATT in disbelief and a few would question me. The answer is always the same "it is cooler than not wearing ATGATT". So simple but for some reason folks reject it. Truly win win, ride cooler and safer, ride ATGATT.
BTW, as usual while riding the mind chases rabbits. I seldom know where it will go but it usually interests me. Because of the questions about ATGATT, I realized I have been comfortable using the same riding gear through a greater than 100 degree temp range, from a low of 13F to a high of 118F. What is your riding comfort range while using the same gear?
