I know COG prides itself on being a safe rider and does a great job promoting that message, but I'd be curious to hear some candid feedback from folks around the country that deal with temp. extremes (particularly on the hot side) and whether they sometimes sacrifice protection to avoid dehydration, heat exhaustion, or worse. I'm not talking LD riding to rallies and such, but rather folks that commute 30, 40 or so miles to work or just joy riding.
