I got the ARC backcountry foulweather jacket and pants over winter, have yet to try them out.

 

It's hot here in the summer, and I ride a lot of woods.
The Fly jacket can be warm, but with the 2 front vents, and the one rear open, the air moves right through, and keeps you nice and cool, even at moderate speeds.

 

Here's my jacket.



Fieldsheer Hydro tour Jacket

 

Hey West.......where can a guy pick up one of the clear rain covers like this? Very interesting.

Any Fox retailer I guess, so that means anyone that deals in off road bikes.

 

I saw a dirt cheap jacket on newenough the other day. More of a street jacket but it was only $39

 

I got the pants and coat for xmas. Let me tell a story: For cool weather riding I use fleece thermal underwear and a sweater under a goretex winter coat I have. After xmas I tied out my coat and pants. It was around 3 degrees celsius. I wasn't very impressed. Legs fine, upper body was a little cooler than I had expected. But, a couple hours later when I had unzipped my coat to retrieve my cell, I realized that i only had my fleece underwear on- no sweater! Doh. So now I was very impressed. It was also raining a bit that day, And I did stay dry.

 

I have a light MSR enduro jacket- its water proof and small enough to stuff in my back pack if I get to warm.

Its a good idea in the cool weather to bring extra clothing- you may be warm when riding but if/when you break down is nice to have extra layers to put on.
