- A Medical Emergency on my Motorcycle forced me to do this. After experiencing the scary moment of blacking out and being unable to ride my motorcycle, I decided it's time to start taking my motorcycle gear a bit more seriously. The cooling vest and mesh jacket were a MUST but the armored leggings were an awesome bonus! products listed below!

THANK YOU for putting this on blast! My husband always thinks it’s just me! The sizing is ridiculous
And my birthday is this weekend, I’ve been wanting for some Kevlar leggings 👖
I will make sure the other half sees this video 😂
👱🏽♀️
@@lonewolvesonwheels YESS! It’s atrocious!! I hope you find the perfect pair!
links are not working btw
Have you thought about a trailer?
@@2talltimadventures no! I bought cortech. I just couldn’t find it on revzilla
When I lived in Arizona I would fill a camelback with ice in the am and bring two refrigerator cold 16oz bottles (these could be crushed flat when empty to be stored in full saddle bags or trunk) of water to drink until the ice started melting. Kept me from over heating and from dehydrating. This also worked for me in Iraq during the summer when it was 130+f.
i do that with the cheap plastic water bottles. 1/3 full of water and let freeze on it's side then fill with water and stuff it inside my jacket.
Jess, please on top of every other precaution you take hydrate yourself before you leave. The day/night before make sure that you drink lots of water and/or electrolytes. Everything else is great to keep you hydrated but if you are not hydrated before you leave you are simply constantly playing catch up. Enjoy, and be safe.
I have an Exelement mesh jacket and just purchased the SkullRiders mesh shirt. 100 plus Temps in Southern Illinois and these are great!! also just rode 13.5 hours straight in this heat. I'm over twice your age, couldn't have done it without this mesh gear! good luck
Always good to have an armored mesh jersey in this heat! By the time you get back home, you’ll have put some miles on Appa! Stay safe and have fun Jess.
Send Heather your drink order and we'll have it on ice when you get here. 😀 Be safe and have fun! We are excited to have you 🤘
I've passed out from the heat a few times as a kid working on a farm. When I worked in a local warehouse, I took salt tablets and drank plenty of water (at room temperature). Always buy a lid with adequate ventilation. Stop and take breaks -- not just gas stops. Drink fluids which contain electrolytes and just "plain" water. I've lived in some of the hottest places in America. Ride safe. Stay well.
I know exactly what you mean when it comes to the heat. I have already had one heat stroke once. No fun. I normally ride with high vis jacket with a removable liner. It has has all the armor plates and elbow guards. But when the temp gets over 80, its just way to hot. So then I ride with my leather vest. Better than nothing. I have a Nolan full face helmet, the front does tilt up so I can get a drink of water. It also has a sun shade that slides down to block some of the sun from your eyes. I really like it. Mine is wired with speakers and a mic. It wasn't cheap, but it is nice. Had both items for 2 years now, really like the jacket and helmet.
Coming from Florida, and spending the summer on my bike (5-6 months), I find doing the bulk of my distance travel in the morning the best system for dealing with the heat ...
I am an ATGATT guy. I know that you are smart and make decisions that work for you. So I will never tell you what to wear or not wear when riding. I am glad you are looking into good gear to keep you cool. Just remember that accidents can happen on roads near your home that you know well. Ride safe and make good decisions for you. Keep making great videos. YOur channel is fabulous. Tell Jordan , "Hi" and let him know he has solid fans too. Do you have any plans to ride in Northern New England. Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire? I live in Connecticut and I don't think you can beat northern New England in the fall.
Have a fantastic time!! Be safe!! And glad your going with friends! RMFR.
I bought a cooling shirt from Cycle Gear about a month ago. It fits like an Under Armour shirt but wicks your sweat. You wear under your normal shirt and it will cool you as the wind goes across it. Assuming you have a good mesh jacket. AXIAL compression shirt. It is not like air condition, but it keeps your core from overheating. I did 200 miles in 100+ temp. It was hot but I never got over heated.
Bohn body armor makes a mesh riding shirt that has armor in the shoulder, elbows, and back. It actually makes the ride cooler since you don't have direct sunlight on your skin. Be sure to check them out!
Just picked up some Bohn gear for our trip to sturgis!
It's great gear, best money I ever spent. As a "larger" woman, I finally found riding protection that fits!!
Have two sets and now have 2 sets of their offerings. Love their products and the flexibility to wear your choice of vented outerwear.
You would definitely benefit from getting a trailer or camper. My Dad and myself pulled motorcycle campers for over 18 years. My Dad was 84. They have all types. Setup in less than a minute they demo them on TH-cam. Take care and enjoy.
I’m 14yrs older than you & you are absolutely right abt gettin older & age related issues…you gotta listen to your bod & don’t ignore the signs.
I live in Arizona. Cooling vest was a game changer for me. I wear my regular jacket and open the vents. Works great!
If you want to stay cool....a white helmet such as the TK 1200by Klim which is a modular helmet, has a transition lens that comes with it and its very light. A white mesh jacket...or light Grey not the black one you wear. And even mesh pants that are not black will help enormously. Oh, ditch the black gloves...lighter ones are key. Black and dark colors absorb a lot of heat. You said you like black and i get it...but, it does make it hotter in the summer
Hey Jess good for you for taking care of your self riding all day in this heat is not a joke that heat will slip up on you before you know it drink lots of water on your way out to sturgis stay safe
Your situation is typical of many riders. I see many riders in tank tops and shorts. I recently went to Chattanooga and Atlanta and wore my mesh pants with shorts under them. I wore my mesh jacket with a sleeveless t shirt under it. I have a cooling vest and it works great for approximately two hours. On this trip I was having trouble seeing and concentrating on my ride even though I took gas breaks every 115 miles (2022 Nightster has a 3 gallon tank). It was because of the heat. The AGATT provides safety but kills the ride. I switched to not wearing my gear all the time. It is very dangerous but so is blacking out while riding. A QUANDARY
I hear you on the “I’m in my 30’s”. Haha
Mesh jackets are great, making it feel like you're riding in a t-shirt.
I have a HD mesh jacket that is silver that I can put elbow and back armor in. I have worn it over a t-shirt in FL and stayed comfortable at summer temperatures. It is also made with Kevlar wove in it.
Jess money well spent. You are going thousands of miles and you're safety and comfort is very important
Love it !!!!!! Yay! 🙌 can’t wait to follow along and watch your journey back to Sturgis!
I'm prone to heat injuries too. I use a Joe Rocket mesh jacket with shoulder, elbow, and back armor. I also have an older HD riding jacket that is also mesh that can have shoulder and elbow armor. They both feel like I'm wearing an air conditioner.
Modular helmet is a must. Not only to cool yourself down but also to drink water from time to time. Mine also has a transitions visor and is full white color. Safe rides and have fun!
I did my first Sturgis 2020! Loved it! Also did my first Bun Burner Gold (1500 in 24 hrs.) did this all on my longest Solo ride to a Bike Week. I left south central PA at Midnight, arrived just under 24 hrs later at 10PM. What a great trip! Loved it! Enjoy Jess!
Yikes. Glad you got thru that ok. Yeah, gear is important and I have much to learn myself lol :) Good luck and stay safe!
Fortunately enough the weather up here is looking like mid to high 80s so it should be a great rally! Be safe on your trip and hope to bump into you. Being from sturgis its fun to see different people's reactions to our part of the country!
I know how you feel. We are in Sturgis right now. And it was a warm one today and I started feeling like I was getting overheated
I am a trauma physician. Whatever jacket you decide make sure level 2 CE back protector. I also wear a Helite Air Bag. Helps protect neck and back. When your injuried in a bike crash, usually other guys fault, you could hospitalized for months plus rehab. I always carry disability insurance to Ward off evil
Spirits. Lol Have fun
Along with some of the suggestions below, I wear a neck wrap that has been soaked in cool water. It’s poor man’s AC. The air passing through it will cool you off and since it’s on your neck, close to major vessels, it’s helps to keep your head clear. As a side note, I just rode across Canada, took a ferry across to Maine and rode back across the US, yep through Sturgis, and back up into Alberta Canada.
McRider has a video on a couple of cooling vests that use ice water in a backpack or a bike mounted unit.
You are so wise. There are only two ways to travel far. First is pacing so you can hold that pace day after day, however much you need to stop. But who has time for that?
Second is to develop techniques so you can stay in the saddle as longest each day. It is excellent that you are road testing your mods and gear. Either way, it is about knowing yourself, and making sure you always have what you need to stay lucid and healthy.
Just one specific piece of advice- electrolytes v alcohol. Keep a can of original V8 on you at all times. If you start to feel droopy in the afternoon, drink it. It will fix you right up. Water too, of course.
Now alcohol. If it is challengingly hot, just don't drink alcohol until you are done riding, and in a place where you can access all the water and electrolytes you want. Then drink moderately, to protect your fun tomorrow. This isn't a teetotaler thing. This is because alcohol, especially beer, really messes up your electrolytes. In the heat, you need to manage them aggressively, and you need time to recover.
Protecting your electrolytes and hydration goes a long way to protect you from heat stroke.
This is about the most detailed, articulate, credible review of gear that I have ever seen.
Hey Jess the most important part of your trip is your health. Ride Safe and enjoy. 👍
I'm not good in the heat either. I have a silver Joe Rocket mesh jacket with a removable liner. It reflects the sun/heat and keeps the sun off of you to prevent sunburn. I also have a Camelback to stay hydrated. That makes a huge difference. Good luck, stay safe and have fun!
I helped a few people at the BMW MOA rally this year get through near blackouts in June this year due to the heat, yes taking hydration/cooling precautions would be a very good idea! As for helmet- think about the Schuberth C4 pro or C5 Pro, I think you would be happy with the quiet and maybe the integrated Bluetooth system. Looking forward to maybe running into you at Sturgis. Ride safely!
I feel your pain. Even after tours in the Desert the heat still gets to me. That cooling vest you linked worked wonders for me recently riding out to Maggie Valley.
A Camelbak is a game changer on those long, hot days. I add electrolyte powder or tablets to mine, also. Another thing I’ve done on 105 degree ride days is soak my shirt with water in the ladies room at every gas/rest stop. The wet shirt with your jacket over it will help keep you from dehydrating from the sweat evaporation from your skin. Be safe!
I agree. Finding women’s riding gear is so hard. I personally hate that many jackets are so short, not long enough or around the arms are too tight. I’m not a skinny gal.
So glad you found the cooling vest !!!! You need to be safe when you ride. Can’t wait to see the next video!!
When I went to NC in June did 2300 miles in 4 days. (Iron butted the trip home) Next year if I do it again I'm going to take two weeks and enjoy the trip.
Cool neck is the key for a summer riding.
I use a terry cloth necktie with a large cavity w/Velcro closures that I fill up with ice cubes. It cools you even after the ice melted. I would refill ice cubes every 120 miles.
You could also create a front neck/chest terrycloth hanging container.
Ride safe.
You usually can move the shield up two tiny clicks so wind come in the bottom, and still protect your face mostly!!!!!
I was looking into a cooling vest for myself. I look forward to seeing your review. ✌️❤️🎣
I live in SoCal so used to riding in heat. To help with head getting hot wet a do rag and as you ride it fools your brain into thinking it's much cooler IF you have good ventilation built into the helmet. It works the same as the cool vest. Do you have Cycle Gear Stores in Ohio ? They carry women's gear and many stores, at least near me, have ladies working to help with selection. As others have said, fill a Camel bak with ice and water and drink often. I don't wear the Camel Bak, it is strapped to my tank to keep the weight off my back. A flip-up helmet is the way to go, with the built in sun shade. A silver jacket would have been MUCH cooler.
Jess, Good luck on your up and coming trip to Sturgis ! Ride smart and ride safe and have fun ! I know you like having your full face helmet, but honestly you have to loose that thing if you are riding in high temps.... I lived in Las Vegas for about 10 years and they have a helmet law there and all I wore was a Skid Lid cause of the heat !!! I have a half helmet now if I go into a state that requires a helmet. I to live in Ohio and very seldom where a helmet..... Get yourself a DOT approved half helmet because in the heat you are frying your brain and will pass out.
I think you will like the Hydration vest. If you can get the water really cold it better.
The cooling vest was a game changer for me here in AZ. In low humidity and 100 plus degrees I get 1.5 to 2 hours on the vest before it drys out
Please be safe! Can’t have anything happened to you! I need your content! Wish I could ride out to Sturgis this year!
Riding from central Texas love the cooling vest. You have to soak the vest for bit so it is hydrated. Ice water soak is nice on those days around 100
I’m glad to see that you’re getting the right mind of gear for the trip. I have a saying… “I’d rather sweat than bleed.” Or “dress for the slide not the ride”. I love that cooking jacket though. I didn’t even think that was a thing. Lol!
Know your limitations. Sometimes that's so hard to do, especially when trying to have fun. But as you have said many times, ride your own ride. Take your time when you can and don't push it. It's all stuff you already know. Just a friendly reminder. Take care and we will try not to worry.
Exactly!
just bought the Shoei Neo Tec II and its amazing.
TY so much for the info on the cooling vest!! I've overheated resulting in migraine for 2 days. Looking forward to trying this vest!!
I really wish more brands would make light colored mesh jackets. On my way back from AMA Vintage days last Sunday (9 hours) it was very toasty. I actually wet my sunshirt down in a gas station bathroom to help cool me down. It helped for a while. Stock up on Pedialyte Sport packets. They are easy to add to cold water bottles and are the best for replenishing fluids and electrolytes. I don’t handle heat well either and have has heat stroke before.
As someone that has been a few times, I'll tell ya, prepare for rain in Sturgis, too! Don't skimp on that rain gear if you don't want to be wet. :) Have a great, safe trip! Wife and I did the ride in 2015 for a grand total of 4701 miles, door-to-door. :)
I have a cooling vest, the trick is do not ring out the water, especially when it’s super hot out. You want it to hold as much water as possible and last longer. Air should move through it, that’s what keeps you cool, kind of like a swamp cooler lol
Three hundred is actually pretty good for three pieces, so pat yourself on the back for that. If you get insanely hot on your trip, you can always buy a bag of ice at a gas station and sit with it in your lap in the shade (or in the sun). I know this because I've done this... and it worked. Also, good on you for leaving the job - throw that book out the window (we all know how it ends, anyway) and start with a blank page. Safe travels. 🤙
"4XL Companies can f off"- Jess LOL!
I would be interested in hearing a review of that vest. I've had heat exhaustion too many times. At least twice I got an ambulance ride to the hospital and a couple of other times I probably should have gone between ages 16 and 26. It usually came about when I pushed myself too hard AND had not eaten enough AND hadn't had enough to drink. Usually the kicker is not just regular heat but exceptional heat. Take it easy, pace yourself, take your breaks a bit more seriously. Anyways, I wish you a great trip and looking forward to the videos.
I ended up in 108 and 109 on different days this summer and a hydration bladder full of ice water stuffed in my jacket (or some water bottles from a gas station) saved me in those days. Kept my core cool
You brought up a good point about the work/private life balance. Like you, there has never been "balance". I do my 40-50 hours per week, sometimes more, but while the company I work for makes a crap load of money with my help, my reward is a meager salary that allows me to live from paycheck to a couple days before paycheck. I'm also rewarded with a limited amount of time off. My European friends are appalled that I only get 15 days per year of vacation time. Though I work from home, I'm now finding that I'm using less of those 15 days and can't afford to go anywhere. You got out while you are young. Keep it that way. Work for yourself. Do what you love and love what you do. Don't be like me and trap yourself in a career you've grown to hate over 40 years but have no other option. And as I near my retirement, I am planning my FIRST trip to Sturgis, hopefully in 2023.
Jess you describing my medicine cabinet with these old joints. Lol take your time and have safe travels
My wife and I wear cooling vests, and cooling towels around our necks to cope. Did a trip to Palo Duro Canyon in the Texas Panhandle last weekend with temps as hot as 111. We wear Fly brand mesh jackets, white in color. We did fine. The hot wind on our faces caused us to keep our visors down.
I'm glad that you found some gear to help you stay cool. This summer is a hot one indeed!
Great video!
Ride Safe.
For me, the best bang for buck for staying cool is long sleeve 10% Spandex, 90% Polyester shirt. At 24:17 you commented on your arms being sticky. The long sleeves separate your arms from the jacket. This is a must for me on hot day when wearing my AeroStitch. Be sure to try this before your ride. You don't need big dollar performance shirts here. $10 Walmart specials will go a long way.
Try adding Gatorade or Pedialyte sometimes instead of water. Wear a thin long sleave shirt. Soak it with water to cool off. Only works out west in the drier air.
Thanks Jess, for telling us the truth about women’s sizes. I’ve always been big and tall, and I’ve cried in clothing stores too many times. Best Wishes!
MEEEE TOO girl. It’s an emotional roller coaster trying to cover up 😅
I just came back home to Tennessee from a 4000 mile trip out west through Kansas and it was 114 degrees! I though me and my bike were going to melt!! Temperature is nice in Wyoming and South Dakota!! Have fun and ride safe!!
Wife and I have Ruroc helmets, but this season we've been riding with modular helmets from Shoei. They are great are easy to take off as they have a lock similar to Ruroc, its the Shoei Neotec 2, anyway great content as always! Ride Safe and looking forward to more of your videos!
Remember that you will likely buy shirts while out there, so you don’t need to pack so many. Also, bring old clothes and pitch them after wearing. Leaves more room too. Can also go to a laundry mat. Have fun! Planning on seeing you at your meet and greet.
a friend who does iron butts on a regular does that. only carries 2 days of clothes and stops at thrift shops or salvation army as needed.he counts trips by how many multi-packs of (new) socks\underwear he buys on the road.
The only laundry mat in Sturgis turned in a tattoo shop when I was there
You are so sweet and way more organized than I am. Wish I was going to Sturgis. But I just started riding two years ago. And like the problem you had last year is what I am facing just can't take the time off work 🤔
You’re very good at what you do
Looks like you learned a valuable lesson the hard way. Glad you are safe. Regarding using modular helmets so that you can drink without taking the full face off, there are two alternatives that you may consider. Camelback hydration systems allow you to clip the mouthpiece to your jacket or shirt making it easy to reach and get a drink with the full face helmet. Similarly you can use an insulated cup with a straw lid. I have a couple of them made by Yeti. It's possible to insert the straw into the helmet near the chin and get a drink without stopping to remove the helmet. Glad to see you bringing the topic of difficulty finding properly fitting women's riding gear to the forefront. I've heard that complaint from many female riders and co-riders and it doesn't seem to be getting addressed. Stay safe.
Jess, same boat, with a heart condition and everything that goes with It I heat up very fast now. Bought a cooling vest that is water activated it lasts a good 4 hours and they really do help. We are leaving for Sturgis on the 8th for 14 days out there. Be careful and ride safe!
I don`t do well in hot either, it can be dangerous. Be safe
You can order a vest on Amazon that circulates cold water on your back and front. It’s battery operated. You put a small amount of distilled water in a hatch located in the back and add ice. My husband freezes water bottles & takes them in a cooler & refreezes them. The hatch is large enough to get a frozen water bottle through. He stays nice a cool riding in Florida summer heat. One frozen water bottle lasts about 2 hours riding.
The camera you are using is amazing.
Creating your own gear would be amazing!!! I struggle with the same thing as you!!!
Jess, both Rev'it and Revzilla have ladies mesh jackets in white. And you should wear a moist buff/neck tube too. As the water evaporates it'll cool your neck and the blood going to your head.. We used that trick when I was in the Swedish army and did long marches in the summer.
Cold ice water on the vest when you have time. Better yet, soak it in water then freeze the night before. Make sure to take it out at least an hour before the ride. Also make sure to use leggings/pants that wick away the moisture as the vest may drip initially.
I recommend some merging the vest fully in water for maximum cooling effect
🍎 THAT “BODY SHAPE “ THING CRACKED ME UP! 🍎😂👍
Good that you are thinking right. Back on June 16th in AZ on the freeway, I thankfully heeded the voice in my head that said get your ass on the shoulder. The second I stopped I passed out. From then it was just flashes - laying with my left leg under the tipped over bike and a guy running back to me from his pickup, trying to stand and pick up the bike, laying on the other side of the standing bike watching a fire truck arrive - an EMT trying to communicate - a LEO trying to communicate - being in an ambulance - and finally waking up in the ER with two chilled IVs and the fridge drape over me. The Doc said I was "basically dead when they brought you in and nobody was betting on you living" LOL Oh the joys of heat exhaustion. Even doing it right won't help when it's 115 with heat coming up from the road and engine. Be careful and heed that voice in your head. Safe travels.
Your going to love that cooling vest,I was out in Nevada one year it was 112 degrees and I bought that vest and it saved my life had to ride across Death Valley and it was like having AC ,you will love it
I had a Nolan modular, the strap wasn't a d-ring if I remember correctly. Give them a look, see if they get you what you're looking for
I thought the bathroom looked like men’s bathroom in iron pony and your next clip I was sure when you were outside putting on your cooling vest with the VIB sign on the wall. Good luck on your trip!!!
Have fun 😁😁😁 be safe
Glad you're OK, heat exhaustion is very serious. I wear the HD cooling vest with a color under my mesh jacket all the time. Even though it lasts for hours, at every other fuel stop, I just soak it again, shake it out and put it back on. You need some air going through, it's the evaporation process (like a swamp cooler) that keeps you cool. I've ridden in 100+ weather and been comfortable while doing it. Hydration is also important, if you don't need to use a restroom, you aren't drinking enough fluids. Ride Safe and enjoy the trip!!
Even when you don’t blackout, heat can adversely effect thinking and judgement. No one has it worse than production car racers, racking in an oven-mitt fire proof suit inside a car that soaks up heat from the motor and transmission. So check out CoolSuit shirts with a cooler, pump and water hoses.
Time to look at the Revit line. It is costly but quality.
Stay COOL ! glad your OK....
I recommend Bohn Armor jacket for summer riding. I recommend getting a lighter color to stay a bit cooler.
Ya its been over a 100 here in Oklahoma I switched to my modular helmet it's so much cooler open it up it makes a huge difference while riding.
Im running the LS2 modular helmet. I can flip the chin bar all the way to the back and use it like a open face helmet. Lots more cooling.
Can't wait to see you collaborate with Heather and Brian
Same thing happens to me at times. I checked my blood pressure and it was high. It mostly happens as soon as I dismount after a long ride and start walking. It brought me to my knees a few times.
Everything looks great
A month and a half ago, I did 12 day, 7000 mile trip from Chicago to LA up to Reno and back via US50. Did swing up to Sturgis for a night before heading back. Since still had another week off on vacation, headed down to SE Ohio and hit a bunch of the Windy 9. Good times.
Becareful in that heat. I’m in Mississippi and last year it was 102 with 114 heat index around 8 that morning. I had heat exhaustion the day before and that morning I was called out to work on a irrigation motor. I climbed into the back of the truck and everything went to spinning and I blacked out. Fell 8 feet out of the truck on a bar with a V cut into it and took a chunk out of me just under my ribs and then fell another 2 feet to the ground. I don’t know how long I was on the ground before I came to. I managed to drive myself back to work and finish the day. And haven’t been able to handle the heat since.
