Do you really need to wear something like this when it's 100 degrees out? YES!
Check out my latest review to find out why and see how comfortable this outfit is.

Anti Fog for your Motorcycle Helmet Visor
Looking for an antifog solution for your visor? I know not everyone (like my husband) is a fan of the Pinlock System like I am.
Or, you may have a helmet that doesn't offer a Pinlock Visor system. Recently, we discovered Clarity De Fog It drops, which work on glasses, visors, masks, virtually any lens surface.
I used a couple drops on my sunglasses, since for me, that's the only thing I can't seem to keep from fogging up in the helmet. Otherwise, the Pinlock is the only other system I've ever used that actually works in my helmet.
You can buy it directly from their website, and it comes in both drops and dry cloths. Just make sure you fully clean your visor before applying it. Generally speaking, water and a microfiber towel is all you need to clean your visor. The less chemicals on the surface of your visor, the better.
I haven't used the Clarity solution on my helmet visor, since I don't need to, but it seems to work well (per the husband).

Hot weather baselayers
I've been wanting to get proper hot weather motorcycle base layers for awhile now.
I've been lusting after the LD Comfort outfit, but just didn't want to spend that much.
So I opted for KLIM's less expensive alternative. I'm hoping that if the women's base layers are as good as alllll the other KLIM gear that we carry, then I shouldn't be disappointed by this outfit. The reason why motorcycle specific baselayers are a little better than your average hiking/camping/outdoor layers, is that the seam construction is minimal.
I currently wear Adidas running pants for hot weather, and the one thing that bugs the crap out of me is all the seams behind the knees and along the legs. Not a big deal when you're running/walking, but definitely a big deal when you're sitting, especially in heat. They're also 3/4 length and stop at my calves.
For the top, I wear a cheap long sleeve running shirt that also has seams up and down my forearms. I can feel them rubbing against my skin, especially under my jacket.
The shirt and pants are $39.99 each. Not bad, and the same price as Under Armor's Heat Gear. (Ok, to be honest, I do get a good discount since I work for a Klim dealer. And I can't get a discount on LD Comfort. But I do believe in KLIM's products and think this outfit will be almost as good).
I'll be testing this outfit next weekend, on a girl's only long weekend ride up north, as well as my 2 other trips this summer to Carson City and Lake Tahoe. Can't wait!
