Yeah but unzipping a bit doenst really help when trickling through town.

Wonder if its a similar system to one I thought of a few yrs back & a system similar to that used by some overseas fire departments.

Basically they have a suit that allows them to be in very hot fires- suit & helmet lined with tiny matix type capillery tubes & has a very cool liquid (might be a gas actually) pumped round the suit & helmet.

Not too hard to engineer the system to fit leathers & a bike helmet.

The system just needed a small bottle for the coolant-about Noz size to work, Im sure it would sell at the right price, how nice would it be to be sat in town in full leathers on a sweltering day feeling lovely & cool & relaxed not sweltering & sticky & stressed.

I've recently acquired a ventilated jacket (a Bering, 100 ukp fom Jack Lilleys) and it has the same effect, it generates cool air even on a hot day, it's bloody marvellous

It's bit shit if it rains though as i discovered in those freak downpours t'other week, but it does come with an emergency rain cover, which is fine if you fit it before it starts raining and you're thinking 'it'll clear up in a sec no need to stop' then 5 mins later you're totally soaked
