Prior to our road trip last year we bought two Mira Cool evaporative vests to wear underneath our Airglide mesh jackets. The first time we used them was when the temps
got about 95 coming out of Amarillo to Dumas. They worked GREAT!!!!
My son is on a trip right now left this morning and he took one of the vests with him to wear. He thought he would only need it once. I asked him where you headed? He said looked like Utah, Idaho and Montana. I said you will use it more than once!!! They have record heat up there right now. He does not have a mesh jacket but is using my range denim tourmaster jacket. At least it has plenty of vents.
We could not have made the distance at the temps we rode in last year. Last month we rode from Ft Worth to Odessa put them on going out. Coming back was a different story as the humidity was going up in proportion to the temperature.
MUCH LESS effecient when coming home. Both wife and I got pretty overheated. Temps were in the 105+ range. HOT IS HOT. Anyway the vests are less than 15 bucks each (last years price) fit very well under a mesh jacket. When they are dry fold up to the size of a face cloth. When wet they can be a bit heavy but offer a lot of heat relief in the drier climates.
