Here is a great write up on riding in extreme temperatures as defined by higher than the bodies temperature.

Hot Weather Riding

A lot of us live places where it gets very hot and I think this is worth a read.

Totally makes me rethink my JR Phoenix mesh jacket & FG mesh pants. Explains quite a bit about some of the experiences I've had (plenty of hydration but felt like crap after 2-3 hours in the blast furnace). For my daily commutes (temps from 110 to 120 are normal here), the mesh is okay but for my longer trips, I may want to wear my perforated leathers.

Gotta try those electrolyte capsules too. Never heard of those before.

Good find, thanks.
