A Medical Emergency on my Motorcycle forced me to do this

A Medical Emergency on my Motorcycle forced me to do this. After experiencing the scary moment of blacking out and being unable to ride my motorcycle, I decided it's time to start taking my motorcycle gear a bit more seriously. The cooling vest and mesh jacket were a MUST but the armored leggings were an awesome bonus! products listed below!

Have you thought about a trailer?

[@HerTwoWheels]

@@2talltimadventures no! I bought cortech. I just couldn’t find it on revzilla

[@walterfechter8080]

I've passed out from the heat a few times as a kid working on a farm. When I worked in a local warehouse, I took salt tablets and drank plenty of water (at room temperature). Always buy a lid with adequate ventilation. Stop and take breaks -- not just gas stops. Drink fluids which contain electrolytes and just "plain" water. I've lived in some of the hottest places in America. Ride safe. Stay well.

[@timlubbers2884]

Coming from Florida, and spending the summer on my bike (5-6 months), I find doing the bulk of my distance travel in the morning the best system for dealing with the heat ...

[@ericheinrich6126]

I am an ATGATT guy. I know that you are smart and make decisions that work for you. So I will never tell you what to wear or not wear when riding. I am glad you are looking into good gear to keep you cool. Just remember that accidents can happen on roads near your home that you know well. Ride safe and make good decisions for you. Keep making great videos. YOur channel is fabulous. Tell Jordan , "Hi" and let him know he has solid fans too. Do you have any plans to ride in Northern New England. Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire? I live in Connecticut and I don't think you can beat northern New England in the fall.

[@jaytomes2856]

I bought a cooling shirt from Cycle Gear about a month ago. It fits like an Under Armour shirt but wicks your sweat. You wear under your normal shirt and it will cool you as the wind goes across it. Assuming you have a good mesh jacket. AXIAL compression shirt. It is not like air condition, but it keeps your core from overheating. I did 200 miles in 100+ temp. It was hot but I never got over heated.

[@randysprecher1421]

I know exactly what you mean when it comes to the heat. I have already had one heat stroke once. No fun. I normally ride with high vis jacket with a removable liner. It has has all the armor plates and elbow guards. But when the temp gets over 80, its just way to hot. So then I ride with my leather vest. Better than nothing. I have a Nolan full face helmet, the front does tilt up so I can get a drink of water. It also has a sun shade that slides down to block some of the sun from your eyes. I really like it. Mine is wired with speakers and a mic. It wasn't cheap, but it is nice. Had both items for 2 years now, really like the jacket and helmet.

[@ralphcearley4744]

You would definitely benefit from getting a trailer or camper. My Dad and myself pulled motorcycle campers for over 18 years. My Dad was 84. They have all types. Setup in less than a minute they demo them on KZbin. Take care and enjoy.

[@Firestorm637]

I am a trauma physician. Whatever jacket you decide make sure level 2 CE back protector. I also wear a Helite Air Bag. Helps protect neck and back. When your injuried in a bike crash, usually other guys fault, you could hospitalized for months plus rehab. I always carry disability insurance to Ward off evil Spirits. Lol Have fun

[@pauladleta9036]

Jess money well spent. You are going thousands of miles and you're safety and comfort is very important

[@randiruge1265]

I live in Arizona. Cooling vest was a game changer for me. I wear my regular jacket and open the vents. Works great!

[@tawerstlein]

When I lived in Arizona I would fill a camelback with ice in the am and bring two refrigerator cold 16oz bottles (these could be crushed flat when empty to be stored in full saddle bags or trunk) of water to drink until the ice started melting. Kept me from over heating and from dehydrating. This also worked for me in Iraq during the summer when it was 130+f.

[@philgman]

i do that with the cheap plastic water bottles. 1/3 full of water and let freeze on it's side then fill with water and stuff it inside my jacket.

[@Pococnosurvival]

I got to tell you, there is no tricks to staying cool in the 90’s except a lot of water. The only saving grace when you enter South Dakota is it’s windy. I ended up with nothing but long sleeve white moisture wicking t shirts and my helmet netted to my back seat. I just couldn’t deal with the heat last year. A neck cooling neck thing, whatever they are called, lol was a must. No gloves, nothing. I know I am going to hear it from the max protection people, but it was the only thing that worked for me. I stopped every hour, drank my ass off for 10 mins and moved on. I did 600 mile days. I am 1700 miles 1 way. I was fine. I don’t care what anyone says, there is nothing you can buy to keep you cooler than what I ended up wearing. Short of dumping 10lb bags of ice down your shirt, pants and under a helmet. I will do the same thing when I leave Thursday to head out. It’s safer to me than heat stroke. Oh I forgot, the neck thing, same over my head to keep the heat off it. They are dainase or whatever it’s called and are awesome. Don’t cheap out, you will regret it. I use a 32 oz yeti jug and drink half each hour. The 2nd hour was a gas stop and refilled at each gas stop. Works perfect. Good luck, maybe see you there.

[@maineoutdooradventures2991]

When I went to NC in June did 2300 miles in 4 days. (Iron butted the trip home) Next year if I do it again I'm going to take two weeks and enjoy the trip.

[@redhawksadventures]

McRider has a video on a couple of cooling vests that use ice water in a backpack or a bike mounted unit.

[@jamesstone1493]

You usually can move the shield up two tiny clicks so wind come in the bottom, and still protect your face mostly!!!!!

[@amasdaha9734]

I helped a few people at the BMW MOA rally this year get through near blackouts in June this year due to the heat, yes taking hydration/cooling precautions would be a very good idea! As for helmet- think about the Schuberth C4 pro or C5 Pro, I think you would be happy with the quiet and maybe the integrated Bluetooth system. Looking forward to maybe running into you at Sturgis. Ride safely!

[@reelingon2wheels399]

I was looking into a cooling vest for myself. I look forward to seeing your review. ✌️❤️🎣

[@SilverPonyProductions]

I really wish more brands would make light colored mesh jackets. On my way back from AMA Vintage days last Sunday (9 hours) it was very toasty. I actually wet my sunshirt down in a gas station bathroom to help cool me down. It helped for a while. Stock up on Pedialyte Sport packets. They are easy to add to cold water bottles and are the best for replenishing fluids and electrolytes. I don’t handle heat well either and have has heat stroke before.

[@donrozette2706]

Looks like you learned a valuable lesson the hard way. Glad you are safe. Regarding using modular helmets so that you can drink without taking the full face off, there are two alternatives that you may consider. Camelback hydration systems allow you to clip the mouthpiece to your jacket or shirt making it easy to reach and get a drink with the full face helmet. Similarly you can use an insulated cup with a straw lid. I have a couple of them made by Yeti. It's possible to insert the straw into the helmet near the chin and get a drink without stopping to remove the helmet. Glad to see you bringing the topic of difficulty finding properly fitting women's riding gear to the forefront. I've heard that complaint from many female riders and co-riders and it doesn't seem to be getting addressed. Stay safe.

[@roadglidegirl6005]

I have a cooling vest, the trick is do not ring out the water, especially when it’s super hot out. You want it to hold as much water as possible and last longer. Air should move through it, that’s what keeps you cool, kind of like a swamp cooler lol

[@snailon3]

Jess, same boat, with a heart condition and everything that goes with It I heat up very fast now. Bought a cooling vest that is water activated it lasts a good 4 hours and they really do help. We are leaving for Sturgis on the 8th for 14 days out there. Be careful and ride safe!

[@brendanwalker987]

People forget that after a certain temperature, high speeds on a motorcycle create additional heat index that can be dangerous. Couples with wind to wick your sweat away and it's very easy to not realize the effect the heat is having on you

[@darkiee69]

Jess, both Rev'it and Revzilla have ladies mesh jackets in white. And you should wear a moist buff/neck tube too. As the water evaporates it'll cool your neck and the blood going to your head.. We used that trick when I was in the Swedish army and did long marches in the summer.

[@mrj1_1six27]

Wife and I have Ruroc helmets, but this season we've been riding with modular helmets from Shoei. They are great are easy to take off as they have a lock similar to Ruroc, its the Shoei Neotec 2, anyway great content as always! Ride Safe and looking forward to more of your videos!

[@bigj200016]

A month and a half ago, I did 12 day, 7000 mile trip from Chicago to LA up to Reno and back via US50. Did swing up to Sturgis for a night before heading back. Since still had another week off on vacation, headed down to SE Ohio and hit a bunch of the Windy 9. Good times.

[@bikercurandera4119]

Tip: fill your cooling vest with water. Put it in a 2 gallon ziplock. Put it in your home/hotel freezer at night.

[@robertpoindexter3565]

You are so sweet and way more organized than I am. Wish I was going to Sturgis. But I just started riding two years ago. And like the problem you had last year is what I am facing just can't take the time off work 🤔

[@_hauntedhootenanny]

Icon makes an awesome summer jacket called Mesh AF. Comes with armor too!

[@stevem1682]

get one of those mission cooling gaiters or something like it. I picked up one for $10. it works just like the cooling vest, but keeps your jugular veins cool which in turns keeps your head cooler.

[@MiguelCura]

YES, I want to try. Stuff. On. This is a must for helmets, and my 2XL, round, bald, dome. Also .... ooooh. Cooling vest. Want.

[@jdhogyellowhelmetproductio358]

[@richardlanghorst2744]

I wear an RAPHA 90 modular by HJC. It is classic D-ring but it is the lightest modular I could find. Built in sun shades. Cutouts for speakers. Very awesome on a hot day.

hi jess , i know all about keeping cool in the heat . i take 2 water bottles and freeze them the night before my trip . and stop offen and drink a full bottle of water. it helps allot. i put on 2500 miles a year on my bike. all over the usa

[@milrond6943]

I ALWAYS soak my LONG sleeve cotton tee shirt in convenience store bath rooms then put your leathers on over it and open the vents in your leathers.

[@whoffywolf]

[@josephmirigliano8728]

Awesome video ride safe and enjoy ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@lauriebriding7829]

I wear a camelback during the hot months. The hose is long enough to reach my mouth inside my full face helmet so it’s no issue to stay hydrated. Most connivence stores let me refill it with ice for free and I add a bottle of cold water. I too have a problem with heat and found I could never get enough water by trying to chug down a bottle full at gas stops. Good luck and have fun!

[@Firestorm637]

You need a White or light colored mesh protective jacket. Klim makes nice jackets as well as Alpinestars

[@DanielGarcia-zz9eg]

[@SophiaPetrillosBuddy]

Have you heard of Stellar Moto? They have single-layer jeans and single-layer full-body suits that are stylish and protective, and you can pick fun colors. They're supposed to be good for hot weather riding. I'm going to pick up a suit as soon as I can afford one

[@troubledtraveler9684]

I will place a gel ice pack in my jacket with the armor plate while riding here in 110 degree weather but it only lasts about an hour maybe. And the shoei neotec 2 helmet is modular and has a ratchet chinstrap but a little pricey. Be safe and have fun on your rides.

[@justin.s9783]

if you get to hot and can pull over or are not riding . pouring cool/cold water over the crook of your arm (opposite of your elbow) that will cool you off quickly too. i have done that many of times pitching hay, picking corn, or when i was in the Army. a camelback with ice on your back over just a T shirt works well too. your body melts the ice so you can drink it. be careful while out in the heat girl. and have fun on your trip. good vid

[@motointhewoods]

Girl I feel your struggle with women’s riding gear! I’m a bigger girl with very large chesties. They do not make jackets long enough! I can get them to zip around the girls but then the jacket is constantly sliding up when I’m riding. Drives me nuts! Someone seriously needs to design a woman’s riding jacket for girls with curves!!

[@tracywaters3948]

Great video - I've been trying to work out what to wear riding in this heat! 38C in UK. I have a pair of leggings and will never wear jeans again. soooo comfy and flexible.

[@lynnlopez3630]

Hey Jess, I admire you for getting some protective gear for your trip. I have found that leggings are only good for cooler months as they don't ventilate much. I know you probably don't want to hear this, but some mesh pants are probably what you really need. I have worn jeans and mesh pants, and I have cooked in jeans while the mesh pants (even though they were black) made me feel so much cooler. They also tended to protect me from the heat off the bike as there is no mesh on the inner part of the leg against the bike. See if you can find some black mesh pants to wear.

[@WilfredBurke]

Love your videos here in Michigan. Waiting for the warm weather here. Does your hubby send armed guards on your rides?

[@buckeyerides7104]

if you want to help keep your head cool, get a neck gaiter (the ones designed to be wet) run water on it and put it around your neck. The carotid artery runs up your neck, keep it cool, it'll keep your body a little cooler, but especially your head. It's an old school trick, and I've used it forever it seems. Try it out!!

[@MicahBell_1860]

That is a great jacket

[@Ironmountain81]

If you gona be in Wyoming and Montana,stay far away from the interstates.theres so much to see and di.and its nowhere near the dangerous interstate.safe travels!

[@waynekibich3753]

How about a hydration backpack for long trips . Then the straw thing would fit under your helmet

[@Mojokiss]

it is too hot. i just rode my bike in FL and i can't. nope. can not.

[@harrymalin8746]

get a camel back. they are great for hydration, and if you fill them 2/3 full put it in the freezer . once frozen before the ride fill it the rest of the way with cold water. it cools your back and you can sip on it as you ride.it worked in the middle east it should work here.

[@nobodyonaharley7192]

The fitment struggle is real even for men. For me being half midget it’s equally hard. Add the fact that nobody has anything in stock to actually try on. So frustrating. Have you thought about maybe wearing a hydration bladder? You could get a straw up under your full face to drink while riding.

[@mikeandhisbikes3502]

Why not try a Camelpack has a hose so it should work with your full face helmet. You can put small icecubes with your liquid in it. I carry cooler bag with ice packs and bottle waters in it. Texas gets up to 110/112 of heat and we stop to hydrate and cool down every gas fill ups.

[@billcobb9408]

take a camel back, back pack. Harley makes a hydration vest that works better than cycle gear. I plan on meeting up with you at the Harley tent Sunday

[@TigerWard2]

Harley sells a great cooling vest. Wet it in water, ring out excess water 💦. Last for several hours. Think cost is less than $75. I have one and love it. Check it out online in Harley Davidson’s online store

[@2kanchoo]

Vented leather jacket, preferably not black. It was totally and completely life changing for me. I can ride literally all day long in 100 degree heat and as long as I'm above 35mph I'm 90% comfortable. People say to expose skin but that's just in ones head it's actually totally and completely counter intuitive to keeping cool. Keeping your skin covered (by breathable material) is what actually keeps your internal body temperature down. ( I get a very noticeable difference just putting on a long sleeve white t-shirt vs arms exposed.) There's a reason the people that live in the middle east cover head to toe in 130+ degree heat. Exposed skin is not only literally burning, but causes your sweat to immediately evaporate which stops it from being able to do its job. Sweat sitting on the skin and then air blowing over it, is how it functions to cool a person down. I stop every 2 hours to get off, stretch, some shade, a drink, never had a single problem riding 8+ hours in 100+ heat.

[@gettinlost]

Didn't see anyone else comment on it, but for the not having back pockets on the leggings. I personally don't ride with anything in my back pockets, especially for long rides, cus it murders my back and tailbone on the Softail. What I do instead, is I have a leg holster bag that I put the things I would normally have in my pockets, keys, wallet, earbuds, etc in the holster bag. It actually makes it easier to get stuff with my gloves on, cus the openings are bigger and easier to see while helmetted. Mine is a black canvas to match my black jackets and black chaps. There's a theme here. It has a flip over flap that is supposed to velcro down, but rarely did at 70+ mph, so I sewed a button and grommet in and use a hair tie through the grommet to loop over the button to stay secure. There is a wide variety of leg holster bags on Amazon, which is where I found mine. Give it a look and a thought. Hope it helps!

[@billcobb9408]

I agree about not wearing the mesh jacket. OH. wear cool shirts. They breath great.

[@GT-sj3si]

Beer or alcohol of any type dehydrates you, and as we all know, riding a bike is very thirsty work! I carry a 30oz yeti in a ciro big az cup holder and I keep a few water bottles in a soft cooler in one of the saddle bags. Drink up lady, water and Gatorade are essential bike gear.

[@ChadWinters]

I have a white mesh jacket, so much nicer in the summer

[@marceaton3128]

Hello Her Two Wheels, how are the new handle bars working out? I’ve had my lower L4-5 and S-1 fused and I have another disc going in my thoracic spine bulging. Does the higher bars help with the strain between your shoulders? 31 years old, I was 20-1/2 when you were born and going through the Police Academy. Did eight years in K-9 and my last 7 before retirement riding Police Motors. I couldn’t wear my ballistic vest during the summer because I got over heated once in a very long funeral detail from Delaware line to the Virginia state line. Be safe and one thing you need is a Police pepper spray to carry. Be safe young lady. Not all men like little ladies that have to put bricks in their pockets to keep from blowing away on a windy day. I’m planning a trip to Forgotten Angels next year if I’m still kicking. Maybe I can meet you.

[@josephsalzman1166]

There is a guy that makes a tank bag hose you can clip on your jacket or whatever put ice and water keeps it cold for very long time he is a good guy last year his stand was at rapids harley check it out last year I went from buffalo ny to stugis and Colorado Springs and back to Buffalo in horrible Heat and it held up great

[@jaratt85]

I blacked out for half a second one night last week.. it was one of the scariest things I've ever experienced next to starting to "grey out" while choking on a piece of cheese while no one else was awake. I literally reached up to touch the lever on the sink and everything went black and then white/blue around the edges and then back to normal.. I still have no clue why it happened. I do have a brain defect called Chiari Malformation that might have caused it (possibly?) because it effects your cerebellum so if your neck was in just the right motion it might cause it but I doubt it because last I heard it wasn't that bad.. though it has been like 6 years since it was last measured so I don't know if it's gotten worse since then... I know my dyslexia has. (I'm also autistic) I can't imagine blacking out on a bike, that'd definitely be worse than the random dizzy spells I get where the whole world flips over suddenly. I hope you have somewhere to stay in Sturgis planned out because there won't be any hotels available anywhere near there.. and I hope you planned for recovery time afterwards as it's going to be a huge "super spreader" event and even if you don't get covid, just being around that many people will give you some sort of sickness just like how anytime people go to gaming/anime conventions you get the "con bug" and end up sick afterwards. They make stretchy polyester cooling shirts that are long sleeved, they also make vests with a separate cooler that pumps cold water through them and you put the cooler in your saddle bag, but they are around $400-600, it's like what they use in drag racing and NASCAR. You complaining about finding clothes that fit.. I have the same problem, I'm 6'10 mostly torso with a heavy double arch to my back called kyphosis and built like an ogre.. finding clothes that fit is almost impossible. I wear a 3XLT most times but when I went and bought Harley shirts and a sweatshirt when out local dealership changed hands I ended up having to buy a 5XL and that was still too short and that was the biggest they had.

[@RebelCowboysRVs]

My big issue with summer gear is its almost all black. Even my horse pee green "high vis" summer jacket still has black pannels all over it. And thats the least black I could find. Its commonly over 100 here in the summer and everythings in the bike gear shop is atleast half black. When I was 15 I could handle a black jacket on a 100 degree day. 30 years later, an I want a white one dang it. On another note. I would try to keep any medical issue like that private. The way things work today, anyone can report you to the DMV for that stuff. Dose not matter who. The DMV will then send you a letter telling you to have a doctor fill out a paper you are still fit to drive, and they only give you 30 days to have it filled out and returned before they suspend your license. The bigger problem is that the person reporting you is pretected from any legal fallout for their actions in the name of public safety. But any doctor that fills out that paper saying you are safe can now be sued if you ever get in a wreck. So no doctor wants to touch it. The ones that will, will first want a specialist to sign off on your health before they will sign off on your drivings. Coverings their butts. None of this is usually covered by insurance so its pricey and fun to get done in 30 days. As an EMS worker, I always wondered why so many people would lie about blacking out or other things like that. But after being hit with one of those letters 2 years ago and seeing all the crap it took to save my license, now I know.

Im coming from chicago on a sportster s gonna be 900 brutal miles lol

[@mojavewolf1]

Can you post the helmet your wearing ?

[@alanhassall]

My girlfriend wants to ride on the back of my bike and I will not give her a ride unless she has gear. We went to J&P and I was amazed how “big” the jackets were that fit her. She isn’t that big.

[@HerTwoWheels]

It's insane how drastically different the sizes are based on the manufacturer

[@alanhassall]

@@HerTwoWheels I was just amazed that she was trying on 4 and 5XL. She is 5'10" and has curves, but she isn't big. She also fell in love with a heavy leather jacket that wouldn't go very far in the humidity and heat of an Iowa summer. Have fun in Sturgis and be careful going out and coming back.

I'm kind of in that boat with vacation I get a week want to go on some jeep trips and can't go because I have to use vacation for dad's doctor visits I've been there for a while

[@derweibhai]

Just in case nobody told you Sturgis SUCKS!!! The terrain is beautiful, just dont go during the rally, or any time the week before or after.

[@BONAFIDE_TROUBLE]

Totally agree! Women's riding gear is horrible! Its not made for women's sizes. Most of the time I don't wear a jacket because too hot in the summer. Thanks for the information. I will have to check out the pants. Thanks for the information.

Have you thought about just wearing bike armor and just wearing a T-shirt so you still have all that air
