dpds on how much you're willing to spend. there's a synthetic
fabric called "Gore-Tex/Gortex" (not to be confused with female
sanitary products), in the same league as "Kevlar". what Gortex
does is that it allows ventilation in ONE direction only, from
inside to out. heat dissipation and sweat from your body can easily
be dispersed to the exterior environment, while rain etc cannot
enter. it's like wearing a raincoat that's cooling and not stuffy.
costs a bomb though, probably around the price range of $300 to
$500. not sure where to get, but most shops that carry touring
products/wear should have them. full suits are available. however,
i'm not sure how strong the fabric is, or how well it protects
against abrasion in a crash.
