Well,  if you want to come over here and get soaked in sweat rather than rainwater.... The Dolomites are an hour or so up the road...  37°C today and I just took the trip to Torino and back in my car (for business) - thank god for air conditioning.... 

It's the complete opposite problem here...  Maybe there is an Italiano member (who doesn't ride out in a T-shirt) can offer some advice about how to keep cool in this ridiculous heat?

I did find a shop not far from here that stocks a fairly reasonable selection of mesh jackets.  Anyone got one? (stupid question, I guess.....)

Fortunately, I can hear some clouds rumbling so maybe there'll be a little respite this evening!

Heh - I just had a little chuckle - My sis is off for a week riding the Wild Wild West thingy with a bunch of other like-minded Harley owners.  They have issued a severe weather warning...

Rosbif .... don't know the make of it but a friend at work uses a mesh vest with armour .. I believe it's a mountain bike sort of thing under his Hi Viz long sleeve jacket and, according to him its excellent .. but only when it's hot ..which isn't often !

Spada, do a brill Mesh jacket, tis half leather half mesh... nice and cool on them odd hot days but also gives bags of protection should the worst happen.... comes with armour as well

Rusty - There is plenty of Moto Cross kit out there - UFO, Foxx etc which is as you describe.

I use a Hein Gericke full mesh jacket all year round and layer for warmth/waterproof (same with pants)

As Mogs says Spada, do likewise and the wife has a Weise jacket similar too.

Ah great! Thanks :)

I shall check them out!

Hope your weather changes soon... Btw, this t- storm didn't happen... It's still sweltering!

Found a great bike accessories and clothes shop nearby. Will take the missus there this weekend :)

How observant of you L.W  ....however, the sun is slowly but surely beginning to appear here in the Lakes, mif it ever gets through the cloud base
