With a sizable portion of the northern hemisphere experiencing exceedingly hot temperatures, it can be all too tempting to forego essential riding gear when hitting the road on two wheels. Luckily, nearly all gear manufacturers have products tailored specifically to keep you cool in hot temperatures. These are usually made out of lightweight, breathable textile fabrics that promote a lot of airflow.
If in the past these were considered less protective than their leather counterparts, technology has improved such that they offer equal if not even better protection. A good example of this is the new Flowmotion jacket from Tucano Urbano. With this jacket, the Italian gear and equipment manufacturer offers a trendy design with an eye-catching style, while offering ample safety features for both city and extended rides out of town.
