Riding a Motorcycle on Hot Summer Days
We motorcyclists are always directly exposed to the weather: this applies to rain, to cold, but especially to hot summer days. High temperatures and strong sunlight are particularly taxing – they affect our performance and endurance. It is important to be aware of this and to prepare accordingly. It’s helpful to keep the following points in mind:
- The right gear is crucial for your safety and comfort in the heat
- Functional underwear helps regulate temperature and wicks away sweat
- Summer motorcycle clothing offers mesh panels, perforations, and ventilation openings
- Ankle-high footwear and abrasion-resistant gloves are important
- Take regular breaks in the shade to cool down your body
- Drink plenty of fluids in the heat, preferably mineral water, fruit juice spritzers, or isotonic drinks
- Opt for several light snacks rather than one heavy meal
- Bring along water-rich and mineral-rich foods like tomatoes, cucumbers, and melons
- Don’t forget sunscreen

Our Equipment and Condition
When we head out on a tour in the summer – and who doesn’t – there are two fundamental aspects to keep in mind: it’s essential to choose your equipment wisely and to always actively monitor your condition and be aware of it, so you can react in time before overloading yourself and your body.
As for the equipment, here are a few examples:
Wunderlich Pad Breeze Functional Shirts and Trousers
Wunderlich Pad Breeze functional shirts and trousers ensure balanced body temperature and a comfortable body climate while riding, helping to maintain physical performance.
Wunderlich Riding Suit

Our proven Wunderlich riding suit can be adjusted to any weather condition without compromising safety. Even on hot days.
Cool Cover Seat Cover
This seat cover is like air conditioning for the standard seat. The airflow can circulate while riding, as the cover is three-dimensionally air-permeable. It also allows rainwater to drain during a summer thunderstorm, keeping the seat dry. Another plus: the soothing, massage-like effect that helps reduce symptoms of fatigue.
Wunderlich Sun Visor
Straining to read the instruments or the GPS contributes to mental fatigue, especially in glaring sunlight. With our high-quality sun visor elements for the instrument cluster or GPS, the display remains easy to read even in bright sunlight, making riding more relaxed.
