Reddit reviews JELLY BEADZ JellyBeadz Brand - Blue - Cooling Neck Wrap Bandana Cold Therapy Scarf - Blue

So...I never been to Arizona & I just started riding this spring (winter/summer, stupid Smarch weather). But I was in Iraq and Kuwait. Obviously, I was not riding motorcycles over there. Instead, I was driving semis without air condition* all while wearing the uniform & helment & flack jacket & bullet proof vest*. All that gear in 110+ weather. It was miserable. The only thing we could do was DRINK WATER. And lots of it.Get a camelbak and just drink water.

Also, something like this is amazing! They can apparently be made easily, though I never made them, only had them in care packages :) A lot of blood pumps through your neck and keeping this cold thing on your neck helps keep that cold and thus you cold. Well, cold isn't the right word. Not hot is a better way to describe it.

And you will eventually become accustom to hot climate.


Seriously, who the hell pays $500 do REMOVE the A/C from a truck? The Army, that's who!

**Not Army issue. Someone in the platoon was a cop and got some sent over from his buddies back home.

A damp towel over a fan will dry out in no time in this weather even indoors

What I did years ago when I didn't have AC in Uni was to freeze my wet towels and hang them infront of my fan

Also these stuff feel glorious http://www.amazon.com/Cold-Therapy-Cooling-Bandana-Scarf/dp/B004XX4XA8, just a damp towel around your neck can help cool your body temperature

Not trying to advertise, but this is sort of what I meant. I got mine 2/$10 at Walgreens.

You might get a little relief by getting your feet wet. If your feet get cold from cool water you'll feel a little cooler for a bit.

I could cool down enough to sleep if I dumped water on me and climbed into bed naked and wet (bed directly under fan.)

Get some electrolyte packets from the chemist and mix with cold water. It's good for health generally when sweating a lot but I'm tempted to think that improving the electrolyte balance might help promote better sweating.

I find refrigerating aloe vera gel and then drinking helps make your insides feeling cooler. You can even apply that to the skin instead of the prickly heat powder.

Keeping the neck cool is important (like the feet, the head/neck temp plays a role in determining how your body feels.) I see abroad they even have speciality neck coolers. (Here's one on Amazon.in) Reviews are mixed, but the point is...figure out some way to keep the neck cool.

I've also had a little bit of luck fooling myself with a good quality app that plays sound of rain or a thunderstorm. Like Rainy Mood or Thunderspace and headphones. Try to get lost in the sound of the rain.

Also don't forget your fan capacitor. Your fan might not be working at full speed. I used to be in an apartment with a fan whose capacitor would go bad every year. My electrician would put a new one in for like 300-400rs. Made a huge difference.

you can use a bandana:

It's not just a meme, you actually need to drink a ton of water.


Also, buy one of these guys, they're great

Swamp cooler if you're in a hot dry region. They don't work as well in hot humid weather.
Roof vents.
Lots of open windows, mosquito netting if needed.
Shore power and a 110v air conditioner.
Cool neck wraps

Klim makes the ultimate hot weather helmet.

Also conditioning makes a big difference. Make sure you are well hydrated and eat plenty of salty food leading up to the ride.

I've used flexible ice packs on my back with a soft back belt to keep my core temp down. - https://www.amazon.com/JellyBeadz-Therapy-Cooling-Bandana-Scarf/dp/B004XX4XA8 - Keep these in ice cold water, throw one around your neck, and you will stay cooler longer. I ride in 100 degree temps in the woods here in Texas, and this is what I do. I can ride for 20 minutes or more before I really start to feel the heat. Without it, I can't even last 20 minutes in the heat.
