Gear Need-to-Knows

[fnfalman]

there are several race suits nowadays that have camelbak-type bladders in the speed hump. I have a Camelbak that I take with me when I go offroading or on long touring trips.

The mesh gears come in handy in stop & go traffic, so if you're a commuter then that's nice to have, but if you're going to do long rides even in hot Arizona desert summer, it's better to wear full textile or even leathers with vents so that you can get that cooling effect from your sweat. Otherwise, the sweat dries off too quickly with the mesh gears when you haul ass on the long rides.
