Do you think it would be too hot to wear as sun protection during motorcycle rides? (300+ miles , 90+ degrees)

I don't think you would have a problem. I bought this in black and I just spent last Sunday all day at the beach in Miami weather (over 90 degrees), mostly outside walking and sunbathing, and I did not feel hot. If you get it in a color other than black and with the wind factor, I don't any problem wearing this for sun protection.

@HellCat, I'm not sure how comfortable you would be on a 300 plus mile ride because these are extremely form-fitting and fairly tight. I have one in black and it works great when I'm in the water but for hiking or other outdoor activities I would get a lighter color and possible size up so you have more "breathing" room. The sun protection is great, I'm very fair and haven't had a problem in that area. It's great for camping, swimming, diving, keeping bugs at bay but mine does retain some heat. These also dry fairly quick and are easy to clean. Hope this helps, have fun on your ride.

I found the material to be quite breathable. I wore it all the time in Hawaii and I did not find it too hot because it was breathable. I hope this helps. Have a great motorcycle adventure!

For motorcycle Rides I think they will work well because you are moving and it will keep you cool, I have used this at the beach during a windy day and it works great.. I love this shirt I get complements every whenever I wear it...

I wouldn't. It's for indoor tanning so it has no sunblock in it at all, if you used it outside you could burn badly.

Not completely so I would definitely still use sunscreen/sun hat for protection.

I wore them out to Costa Rica and Nicaragua just recently. It was blazing hot out there and my bottoms did get pretty hot still. I only wore them as shorts of course; however, I do feel they were fine for morning and early afternoons. During the rest of the day I was on the beach so I can't say much for the really hot hours. I do feel while in shade when I did wear them (buses, etc to carry my items) I was "okay". Then again, it was insanely hot out. Normally if I wore these in the states on a hot day, I would feel perfectly fine. Crowded areas with no air flow - not so great if you're wearing them as pants. I would still HIGHLY recommend buying a pair. These are fantastic since they're pants and shorts. Really good for nights when the bugs come out or for the airplane when it gets pretty chilly (and when you get off at your final hot destination just unzip them and change them to shorts). Hope this helps you!

If it is cold I would buy XXL so you can layer. The trousers are designed for the US cruiser rider and there is fabric on the inside of the shins. Rain will get into your lower legs and run into your boots on a long ride. I suppose that is better than burnt plastic. In warm weather the gear is very hot but I only wear it on short rides.

I would think sun protection shouldn't be a problem as long as you take precautions to prevent the interior from overheating. Ie leave the windows open a small gap.personally I'd still park it in a spot where you have shade during a few hours of the day . But back to the cover, its absolutely fantastic, very well made.

I've never tried that cos I don't ride a motorbike but it's not designed for that cos its quite thick and not like the thin cotton or lycra balaclavas that can go under a helmet. Maybe it would add a little padding but as I said, I have never tried.

Yes, it is hot, even with the cover that it came with. I find myself tossing a turning at night because I overheat on the "bottom side."

I live in Oklahoma where it is very hot and mine is doing very well. I do keep it in the shade. I was told not to let it be in the sun.

I think it would be great because of how light it is. It's also a great windbreaker. I don't think you'd get too hot.

I dont think the heat factor is affected by the color, as the helmet is well ventilated. My daughter has a velvet cover over hers, and never had a problem with it being too warm.

Yes. I would highly recommend this product, but buy a color other than black. It's too hot.

Well I've had them on for a few weeks here in Florida and I've had no problem at all It must be centigrade since it's been pretty warm here and I run them in the daytime on my motorcycle

I wouldn't think so, but if you are wearing them in the desert at the Burning man event. I would think they would be awfully hot. The vents allow the heat to escape, but, still, you will probably be drenched with sweat? My best guess...

I did sit on it, 86F day in direct sunlight. It was not too hot to sit on, but it was uncomfortably warm. I moved the bench into the shade.

I live in Southern California and I can't step outside without my prescription sunglasses, much less ride a bike. You should be fine.

Yeah it would be way to hot I sweat to death in about 60 degree weather running around with it on, get under armour heat gear base layer or nike pro combat
