I wear this on warm days. Completely vented - you see right through it if you hold it up to the light. Still get sweaty with the helmet, gloves and spine protector but much nicer than leathers!

I live in the Netherlands though so we don't really see 40c temps! Been high 20s here for the past few weeks which is really nice!

No matter how hot is is, I always wear pants, jacket, boots, gloves & helmet. I'm just too valuable to let some asshole take me out without a fight!!

One thing I aways do is note the last pile of snow in my neighborhood.

Here it is, July 7 2010. It's been 70 degrees f. for weeks.

Summer here gets to the occasionial low 40's but high 30's and dry is the norm and I hate riding in that weather, especially commutinng, night rides are pretty good though.
Have a nice Ixon Hacker textile summer jacket that helps, it has all the bits in the right place but dont know much it would move about in a fall. You would die of heat exhaustion at the first set of lights in leather.

Maybe something like an old Roth helmet, (German WW2 with a spike on top), would go better with the SD
