The summer heat can make it hard for some bikers to follow the ATGATT philosophy – All The Gear All The Time. However, wearing full gear can actually keep a rider cooler than wearing nothing at all.

Wise riders have learned this the hard way, sweating their way through motorcycle tours and rallies in hot jeans and leather. However, with the rise of the ATGATT culture, many have learned to look for more practical (and safer) summer gear. Vented jackets and pants with built-in armour, full face vented helmets with tinted visors, as well as vented boots and gloves all block the sun while letting the air flow through, creating an air conditioning effect that keeps you cool and safe.

So don’t let that summer heat become an excuse to avoid the all-important ATGATT philosophy. Use summer-tailored motorcycle gear to turn a burning hot road trip into a cool cruise.
