Hi Folks,
New technology, well newish. I bought after much debate and research a BMW Streetguard II suit at huge expense and one of the things they said was the black fabric was treated to reject solar gain. I admit I thought Yeah Right! BUT when I stood beside my friend who had a conventional black suit and my suit when laying a bare hand on the suit fabric I was gobsmacked how much cooler the Streetguard fabric was they were telling the truth!

I went out in heavy rain and was most impressed by how waterproof it is too. Great all round suit, the best I have ever had! Streetguard III is coming but no idea if it will be as good or better.

Gloves,
After having hands that roasted in summer in my RJays gloves I went and bought a pair of BMW Rallye 2 gloves and they are fantastic MUCH cooler than the others and the air flow through the holes is heaven in this heat. Should have bought them a year ago!
