Very stylish gear you have there!!
I’d probably get a similar set in red and black…but I’ve always wanted to ask, isn’t it VERY hot in Malaysia?

Hi K!
I have several sets of gear, some lighter, some heavier, and yes, it gets unbelievably hot here with 90% humidity, so it is not always a pleasant feeling riding with such clothing. But better safe than sorry - as an old biker, I learned that the hard way! - and when i travel down to Singapore I wear a full suit of RS Taichi mesh fabric, with full racing body armour at all the critical points. Looks great, but can get seriously hot even at 230km/h!
Actually the helmet is worst, because even the best designed full face helmet is like putting your brain in an oven for a few hours, and as you noted in one of my previous posts, only a few rides and it needs serious washing.
But it’s all worth it!
