Here in AZ when its 100+ there really isn't anything that you can do to escape the heat, although, the phase change vest seems like a great idea. I wear a scorpion textile jacket, textile pants and sidi boots. I like to wear under armor so that the pants and jacket don't stick to my skin as I sweat. Sitting at lights is almost unbearable sometimes, but once you get going there is usually enough sweat built up to cool you down. This time of year is not the best for comfortable rides but at least we still have the option year round unlike some places that receive a lot of snow.
Oh an the bike makes a big difference. The 250 is relatively cool where the 600 and its undertail exhaust really gets hot not to mention the heat coming off of the radiator.
