I live in the mountainous portion of Tennessee, so what you get is lots of rain and heat which equals big time humidity. I wear t-shirts and shorts occasionally but jeans and hiking boots most of the time. It is just to hot to wear full gear mid summer and actually enjoy the ride. That is simply my opinion I know I am not stating facts. I wear a full face Shoei most of the time but wear a 3/4 when the heat is up. I am a conservative rider, I rarely push the envelope but I have had 2 wrecks that sent me to the ER. I'll take the risk of riding without the gear, riding must be fun or I'll find something else to do.

Up to a year or so ago I was a leather jacket ONLY guy. I still occasionally wear my Langlitz custom made leather, but I have found the mesh 3 to 4 season armored jacket (Cortech GX Air 3) to be quite comfy in warm weather and actually more cooling than a short sleeve T shirt. This also saves on sun block and hopefully shall prevent me from any more basal cell carcinomas.
One caveat, after 90°+ everything is friggin' HOT!
