I don't blame you either,its like being in a sauna i bet

Wish I was there to soak up the rays

It includes bikes so relevant.

If it's anything like it was for a couple of days here in the summer, 35+ degrees, felt like riding into a hair dryer. The air was so warm it wasn't cooling you.

That was horrible to ride in.

The humidity kills you here, sitting at a light in 95f with 80% humidity with a hot bike below you and 120f asphalt... not very nice

I only wear a tshirt, jeans, helmet, boots and gloves in summer.

Jesus, good luck if you ever come off.

Even when it's 44C here I will be wearing my full mesh gear.

acemastr · 23 Oct 2015 at 15:26

I've never heard anyone go on about the temperature as much as you.

You can't mean 44c in Switzerland because.. well... it doesn't get anywhere near that there.. ever.

Fireskull · 23 Oct 2015 at 15:42

Haha, its only ever been 41c once in 2003...

TallPaul_S · 23 Oct 2015 at 15:42

According to wikipedia, the record highest temperature in switzerland was 41.5 degrees, in 2003.

Kreeee, might you be exaggerating a little

You guys do make me laugh, trying to tell me how hot it is where I live

A nice thing about living in Switzerland is that you have all of Europe to explore. It was 44C in Italy when I visited this summer, although that was during a mini heatwave they were having I was still in full mesh gear.

I know these things aren't accurate, but here's a sign showing 38C near home, so it's not like my summers are cold here either.

Edit: I was in Veneto, Italy, in June. Have a gander at the temperature: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_extreme_temperatures_in_Italy.

Not that I have to explain myself to you, and likewise you can do what you want with your life, I just wish you luck.

Yaayuh! · 23 Oct 2015 at 16:34

I'm in agreement. Anything over 30c is "hot as balls" and in the land of swiss it's frequently higher than that in the summer!! Also, given the geography and it's micro climates, it's hard to predict and forecast.

There's plenty of "breathable" armour and gear and such out there, and if it's still too hot, i personally wouldn't risk going out there. So again from me, i wish you luck in your t-shirts, it's your skin.

Kreeeee · 23 Oct 2015 at 16:37

You're telling me it's hard to predict!

I know it another one of my videos, but I got pee'd on when going up the mountains to cool down mid summer

acemastr · 23 Oct 2015 at 16:51

Just come experience 95f, 80% humidity, sitting in traffic. It's all relative, 38c and 20% humidity doesn't feel hot in comparison

acemastr · 23 Oct 2015 at 16:55

Also, it was a bit of a change going from a 1 piece leather I wore religiously in the UK to being here, it's rare to see anyone in gear. Been wearing my Alpinestars jacket recently as it's cooled down. I agree with gear completely, just passing out from dehydration on a ride isn't going to be much fun

Kreeeee · 23 Oct 2015 at 17:00

You don't have to explain yourself to anyone (although it was 44C and 70% humidity in Veneto, not 38C and 20%

).

Jeans inside boots? no no no

TallPaul_S · 23 Oct 2015 at 17:53

Good point - when it's warm a nice bit of air up your leg is just what you need

Yeah... it let the rain in too!

Tucked in the boot helps stop them moving in a crash though.

benji182 · 23 Oct 2015 at 21:18

I tuck my jeans in my boots too

wazza300 · 23 Oct 2015 at 21:29

It keeps all the poop in for when you follow through on a very tight bend

IC3 · 23 Oct 2015 at 21:30

I bet he had to chagne his underwear after this
