    A white helmet will reflect the heat from the summer sun away from you.

    Wearing a wet bandana around your neck will help keep you cool while riding this summer.

    #5 Ventilated Gloves

    Wear ventilated motorcycle gloves in the summer to allow your hands to breath.

    #6 The Sheepskin Trick

    Cut out a piece of sheepskin and place it on your motorcycle seat wool side up. This will allow your butt to breath and keep things cool.

    #7 Smart Clothing Choices

    While riding your motorcycle this summer wear light-colored, breathable clothing to avoid attracting the sun and allow your body to breathe and keep cool.

    #8 Cooling Vest

    A cooling vest will circulate cool water through it to keep your body from overheating while riding your motorcycle on the hottest summer days.
