Its super hot here, just riding wearing a backpack to work gets my back sweaty. Anyone have any experience with lighter gear that doesn't leave you sweat drenched in warm weather??
i know guam is more humid than hawaii, but i am wearing this jacket from tourmaster. it comes with elbow and shoulder armor. also, it comes with a back pad. it is mesh and breaths very well... on colder days (60 degrees), sometimes too well. it is lighter weight than my cortech jacket. for the money, it is really good. i think this will keep you protected without overheating.
