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 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. The cover feels like a hand warmer under direct sunlight, it makes driving in the hot summer much more tolerable, that is if you can stand the rubber smell this cover (might) give off.

Ours sits in the shade all day so heat is not a problem. I would assume that it would get hot in the sun if exposed for any length of time, as would all metal. We also put a seat and back cushion on it, so we may not be the best resource to answer the question. It is a nice unit and seems solid. We're happy.

Yes I think it would get really hot. I am in Florida which is very hot and wouldn't leave outdoors.

I would say that if you take it off for a little while around every 20 minutes of use and let your arms cool down, it should not be a problem. With that said, it is probably more dependent on whether or not you are using it in an air conditioned area, or the temperature in the location you are in. I personally have not found heat to be of any real issue while wearing them.

It's a little hot... but it works fine. I wear XL and this one fits too big. Hope this helps.

They were supposedly designed for horse riding, which is why I'm thinking of getting one, but they do look really hot (not in a good way!)

I would say yes it would be too hot-there isn't any ventilation and it isn't durable enough for outdoors unless you keep it on a patio with shade.

It does get kind of hot if you sit too far back in the umbrella, But I moved our chairs out just enough so we would have good ventilation and it helped a lot. This is a review given from Sunny, Hot, Humid, South Florida just so ya know :)

i think it would be great for that... i used it at a baseball game here in the 100-110 degree weather and it was awesome so i feel it would be even better in a smaller less brutal heat area...for the price and the product positives it is worth it

Yeah, I wear sun glasses (and occasionally skydiving goggles) with it all the time. A lot of the time in the winter I'll leave the face part off and just wear it as a hat. It's pretty respectably warm.

It's definitely better than not wearing glasses, but like most, some wind comes through the sides and hits the eyes. I use these on a motorcycle and don't really notice the wind until I am over 40mph. For bicycles I would say you should be fine, but I don't have contacts and don't know how sensitive they would be to the wind.

This is only my opinion. It's a Great Product when it comes to heat. As to how and where you want to wear it, just improvise to your personal comfort level. Hope this comment helped a little. Good luck with the settings.... it can get very hot without a towel or...

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."

Funny you should ask, I was wondering the same thing.On The One hand I really don't think so, However with me being in the hottest part of of Texas, I don't usually sit outside in the summer time, especially when the temp. reaches 98 or 100.

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