Summer Motorcycle Clothing Guide
Does your desire to ride a motorbike in the summer remain the same despite the scorching heat?
Here, the Motostorm team has created a comprehensive guide on summer clothing for two-wheel enthusiasts, with useful tips and essential products that will make your experience unique!
Riding a motorbike during the summer is really exciting: the open road, the clear sky, the summer rides... indelible memories!
But when the temperature rises, motorcyclists must be very careful. Overheating can become a serious problem and could turn an exciting adventure into hellish heat! Without the right preparation, you risk heatstroke, dehydration and so your trip will become just a bad memory.
The guide you are about to read will present several excellent clothing and equipment options, designed to make summer rides much more enjoyable and provide you with maximum protection.
Summer Underwear
You might think that adding an extra layer to your motorbike clothing during summer rides would be counterproductive, but we are here to assure you that choosing the right technical underwear will play a key role in keeping you cool and dry, thanks to fabrics with excellent wicking and quick-drying properties.
Simply put, sweat will move away from the body and the fabric will dry more quickly, preventing that heavy, uncomfortable feeling. By wearing the right underwear, you will be able to enjoy your activity while feeling fresh all day long!
Motorbike underwear Six2
Embarking on exciting motorcycling adventures during the summer calls for a smart choice: the Breathable Underwear collection from Six2.
When the thermometer skyrockets and the hot air seems to give you no respite, the key is to keep your sweat under control to enjoy carefree riding, keeping your skin cool and dry and preventing unpleasant odours. The Six2 clothing line is specially designed to keep you cool during your performance in the hot sun.
Made of BreezyTouch fabric, this new generation of thermal underwear will provide you with exceptional breathability. Sweat is pushed outwards, taking excess heat with it, leaving a pleasant feeling of freshness.
The snug fit of these garments will allow you to wear them comfortably under your sports clothes, offering light protection even against cold currents. Every motorcyclist knows how important it is to maintain proper body thermoregulation, and with the Six2 line, you can do so without compromise. In addition to offering exceptional comfort, Six2 also helps to significantly reduce the risk of muscle injuries by preventing chills caused by sweat or wet fabrics in contact with the skin.
Macna Evo Cooling Vest
Motorbike rides in the hot sun can be exhausting, but now there's a remedy that ensures you stay cool and comfortable without compromise. Cooling waistcoats are an anchor of relief on those hot summer days, and Macna's Cooling Vest Dry Evo shines among the available options.
Using it is really child's play! Simply fill it with 600 ml of tap water and wear it over a light garment. The jacket's patented technology facilitates the controlled release of water, keeping the inside and outside dry. Thanks to this optimised evaporation process, you can enjoy refreshing relief that lasts from one to three days, depending on outside temperatures.
Durability is the hallmark of all Macna products. Even after numerous washes, the jacket keeps its cooling capacity intact. Care and maintenance are equally simple: once the jacket has been used, it must be hung up to allow residual moisture to evaporate.
Constructed from high-quality materials such as polyamide, polyester and rayon, the jacket guarantees maximum comfort during motorbike rides. Innovative details, such as strategic ventilation holes and the Macna Ziplock closure, prove that this is a top-quality motorbike garment, and is definitely one of the best solutions on the market.
Summer Motorcycle Gloves
Although temperatures can soar, the glove is still a must when choosing equipment. Not including it is never a wise choice. We advise you to focus your search on a suitable pair of summer gloves that will protect you without making you suffer excessively from the heat.
Here are some suggestions:
Favour ventilated gloves: opt for a product that has good ventilation, perhaps with mesh or perforated inserts. This will allow air to circulate inside the gloves, keeping your hands dry and reducing sweating.
• Short cuff: choosing a short cuff may be ideal. This cut will allow you to have a portion of your skin more exposed to the air and will make you feel more comfortable during hot days.
• Choice of light colours: Light-coloured gloves will attract less sunlight than dark ones, helping to keep your hands cooler.
Remember, even during the summer, protecting your hands is essential for your safety and protection. If you follow these tips, you're sure to find a pair of summer gloves that are ideal for facing the hottest days in style!

Protection is always a priority, and the Reef glove is no exception.
