I know what you mean. I ride pretty much all year round. Well, at least twice a week unless I'm snowed in...

I ride year around too. Full leather gear.. Biggest thing that makes a difference?

It's amazing how much better your body can tolerate the heat as long as you have constant access to a relatively cool water source. I went one ride without a camelbak in 90+ degrees and by the time I got home I was sick.

And remember! 100+ here does not mean the same thing as 100+ somewhere else!

Anyway, I also read somewhere that mesh jackets are only better then non mesh between something like 75 and 95. Above 95, it's better to wear a non mesh and sweat. The wind through a mesh at above 95 will dehydrate you too quickly and not give you any cooling. With a non-mesh, you sweat and get cooled without loosing too much water...

That's why you see Arabs in long robes. It keeps you from getting dehydrated.
