Another great tip I learned for hydration bladders is to fill it about 1/4 of the way then lay it flat in the freezer. Fill it the rest of the way before leaving. It does a great job of keeping your back cool as long as there isn't too much material between you and the hydration bladder.
Only downside to this method is forgetting the whole thing in the freezer… ask me how I know 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
@@yochai1987 how do you know
Filling it almost to full works well as well. Don't over fill it will blow up. In really hot weather it will melt slowly.
You can't fool me Joffrey. You are my king no more.
Josh Calvert holy shit! looks just like him!
Wowwwwwwwwww I never even thought this but spot on
Fuck the king.
FYI. The water evaporation, or "endothermic", to cool you down doesn't work in very humid climates.
Very solid point. ~RyanF9
It will work pretty much everywhere except Memphis, Tennessee, where it is almost always 90-98% humidity combined with 100-110 Degree heat.
+Josh Calvert Hear Hear! Memphis TN. The town where you walk out to the mailbox and have to come back in and shower!!
MemphisMike and you are still wearing shorts and a t-shirt in December
+Josh Calvert LoL. Yes!
Thanks for the ice cubes tip. It really really works. Today it was 107 degrees in north CA but i didn't want waste the labor day weekend not motorcycling. Initially after every hour i had to stop to cool down. But then I remembered this video and stuffed all my pockets with ice and i was able ride without taking anymore breaks.
Ryan, I am amazed at your videos. Your attention to detail as well as all the additional information you provide explaining your choices is spot on. Best channel on UA-cam by far. I am heading to Utah for a 10 day trip in July and it will be scorching so I loved the ice cube in pocket trick, will be doing that for sure. Keep up the great work! Cheers from out West.
Another thing that works good, instead of using ice cubes in your pockets use some of the better small cooler ice packs. Like the yeti ones. They last a long time. And you can get some that are flexible so you don’t have to worry about crashes
what about a chainmail suit over my speedo?
DOT approved helmet of course
As long as the speedo is Kevlar, should be fine. ~RyanF9
you don't want to wear metal mesh on a direct sun
@@robertmifkovic6325 why not?
@@isaackarjala7916 probably because the metal would heat up to extreme temperatures for some reason (notice how car interiors feel like ovens in summer,) and so the metal would burn your skin.
Though idk if the wind would cool the metal down enough or not.
That chain mail will become the roughest grit sand paper you have ever known in an accident.
It was designed to stop slash attacks from swords and axes, it has no blunt force resistance, and no rigidity, once you start sliding, its gonna roll up just like a cotton shirt except it will collect chunks of your skin along the way.
A genius that is heavy into motorcycles. Dreams do come true! KEEP IT UP BRO!
If you watch enough FortNine videos, you can watch Ryan F9 grow up.
...always great info and DEAD honest too. We appreciate the truly CANADIAN/in your face honest reviews, don't change that! keep it up and thank you...
This is one of the most helpful video i've ever seen. Thanks Ryan, Coolit Tee and ice cubes we go !
Ryan you deserve way more views and subscribers. Your content is always professional grade.
what is your favourite brand of ice cubes :)

Nice video. Lots of useful information. I have been considering getting a dirt bike helmet with goggles to use in the summer heat here in Arizona. Often times its above 110f/43c here during the day. The sunglasses idea is great. I think I might use that idea.
I took the ice cube pockets idea to the next level. I refilled at the gas station fountain beverages with crushed ice. Got some weird looks when I was shoplifting crushed ice. I do not recommend using slushies as a substitute though.
Great videos. And you're probably the only motovlogger to say "ergo"!
Thanks for your videos. They are informative.
Just a few days ago I was hoping you were gunna do a video like this! Nice!
All good tips.
Thanks
Love the honest reviews
Awesome information, as usual. I thank you.
I like to combine two of those techniques and wrap ice cubes in the bandana that I put around my neck. Makes it colder and releases water over time to help the cooling last longer. With my 30 min commute in Phoenix's triple digits I'm still dry by the time I get home.
Thanks man I live in Las Vegas and I might just have to try out some on these methods for this upcoming summer!
All his videos are great!
I just stumbled across these videos this morning, and I must have watched 20 of them. Professional ,concise , and very well edited and presented. Keep it up!
Awesome vid, F9. Great ideas!
I lived and road in Tucson Arizona for 20 years and found the Veskimo vest using cooled water pumped thru their vest is good for four hours at at time. Powered off the bike or battery pack. I also used two dollar ice back inside a vented jacket to ride cool thru Death Valley mid day in the summer, yes wet but comfortable.
Ryan...you do the best videos with a canadian twist on the planet earth. Informative, funny, geeky, useful, playful, dramatic.........
Really like your stuff. Great work kid.
i love this channel ! :D
Your video quality is so good!
Hey thanks for making videos with out yelling everything. A lot of youtube reviews are unwatchable because the host has to yell everything they are saying.
so thanks for not doing that.
amen to that.
Totally agree...
Or saying a bunch of stupid kid shit. You listening Yammie?
And no rap or annoying "music"
Revzilla has left the chat 🤣
It's 12:30 am, not sure which day of the week, looking at Ryan F9 saying endothermic and doing a bandanna fashion show, gotta love 2020 covid 19 quarantine days.
From South Louisiana n really Dig your videos. You explain things very well! Plus u use common sense.
Found one of those coolit thingys in a clearance bin. I love that thing
Thank you for the Advice
Thumbs up 👍
Peace
Great info!
Thanks for this one, F9 team. I live in Arizona.
awesome videos, so glad i found you when you started off a bit
Also im 6'1" and thought i was pretty tall but damn man your'e 6'3, NEVER wouldve expected that from the view angles you have in your video (but then again you do ride adventure bikes)
always great videos man, keep em up
Haha yeah ... we shoot from up high to make me look more average. Thanks for watching! ~RyanF9
Austin Roe I’m 5’8” and I ride an Africa Twin! Us short guys ride adventure bikes too!
Hey very cool videos ! Just a few things : I am from Tel-Aviv and here we have around 70-95% humidity + temperature around 35 C...One thing that really help is using a "turtle jacket" as we calling it here. Basically it's a motorcycle jacket with strong armor on the important places (elbows, torso, back) and a very soft net on the rest of the jacket. Wearing a cotton T-shirt below will make you feel you are driving in middle of September. Well, maybe not. But it really helps. An exemple is the "fox racing Titan sport jacket".
I ride in 35C plus for 4 months a year. On long journeys I use large sandwich bags filled with just enough water when frozen are about 3 to 4mm thick. Slide one down the front of your jacket between your under garment and one up the back, this requires a bit of dexterity, it will keep you at a pleasant temperature for hours. The trick is not to make the ice pack too thick that it won't bend and conform to your body shape. Usually reserved for long trips with an ambient temperature above 40C.
FINALLY something from this fine Canadian man I can use as an Australian. WOOO
As someone who lives in Florida this helps alot
Holy shit, this was a VERY well done video.
Would love to see an up to date list of some of the best warm weather vests. I'm having trouble finding many articles on them, everything is about jackets. For certain reasons, some of us don't have a choice for a jacket.
This is some good info. Especially for me in San Antonio Texas right now. I believe the manufacturer doesnt want you filling the camel with pack with water and freezing it because it probably makes the plastic rigid and prone to crack however some water a ice cubes shouldnt hurt. I do that for hiking. Keep in mind that ice is expanded water so the more ice, the less water when it melts. So i usjally do 2/3 water in fridge over night so its cool, then toss cubes in before i leave so i maxamize cooling.
Hey Ryan, I really love your reviews; they're real professional yet entertaining and they've helped me a lot. I have a request though, and I'd be so thankful if you could make it happen: I want a video which demonstrates how important safety gear is (not just statistics and numbers) and also how a certain gear rating is good for up to a certain speed. For e.g. even the pro level gears won't help you if you crash above, say 130mph. Thank you!
Love the glasses
Dude, you reaaaalllllyyyyyy know how to work infront of a video camera ! You were born to do it ;) . Great videos, really thank's for all you hard work and great info always !
Got to admit you're a pretty Damn good Reviewer. Never thought about the Bandanna idea its hot as Hell in NYC traffic
0:00 the face you make before you sneeze.
Great tips Ryan. The new Vee has a ton of heat coming off the engine making it super hot on those lower extremities. My solution: I recently attached some foot pegs on the crash bars and am able to lift my legs away from the source, no endothermic reaction necessary.
how u even... WHAT?
Clever! Comfy on the highway too? ~RyanF9
Cooling effect was secondary to giving my legs a stretch, which was the primary motivation for adding the extra foot pegs on the crash bars. Also, has a third benefit too, my wife can now stretch her own legs by using my pegs while mine are resting comfortably on the bars.
@@jlegresleyThat way she can help with braking and shifting too! 😂
here's a pro tip for staying cool when riding: pour a quart of water in each of your boots.
also, if you have some spare change in your pocket, just take a quick ride through a car wash.
trench foot, here i come!
I have never seen a bike rider _go through a car wash himself_
That would be a sight to see.
Getting those glasses. I rode with the visor up and regular shades and the pollen made my eyes swell and water and itch. But that rubber seal should help prevent/minimize allergy. Maybe? Or maybe not since it's blasting pollen up my nose. But I'll give them a try
I live in Hawaii. I needed this lol
You deserve more subs
I wear 2xu or Enerskin tops that keeps me quite cool on hot days even though I have my well ventilated motorcycle jacket on (Rev'it Airwave 3 or my Joe Rocket Phoenix 3.0).
Having a friend that owns her own dress shop. I have had her make me a mesh vest with two large/long pockets sown in the front using the same material. Fill the pockets with ice that I buy at a convince store and put the leftover ice in my hydration pack. Wear it over my shirt and under my riding jacket. Works great on keeping cool when riding out in the desert summer heat and will be bone dry by the next gas stop. Rinse and repeat.
Just found your Channel. Wow you know your stuff.
I use a motosport/cyclesport kevlar 2 piece suit here in Philippines w/tri armor been down at 60 no trouble suit ok this suit is like wearing a screen door coolest suit ever!
good info...thnx
A+ on the science intro
You must live in the north, where I live in Texas if you get wet you stay wet, so I think I'll pass on the ice cubes, lol. With that said, you have some great videos man! I appreciate all the quality info you provide, Im going to have to subscribe
#Canada ~RyanF9
hi there , would like to say a big thank you for your informative videos and great content , moto stuff and tech combined excellent. Also one big thing is you don't start your youtube vids with ..."wassup youtube"...cant stand that....finally a normal person who says hi, hello etc...well done...keep up the good work much appreciated cheers Al
I have been surprised what a good thermal comfort I got when wearing 100% pure merino t-shirt underwear in hot days. And that merino underwear does not stink either after a day of a ride.
#6: Just squid it
who cares about that! talk about a sunburn
Biggus Dickus exactly
Yeeeeaaaah..... I've become a squid lol. cargo shorts and thinnest possible t shirt and some good gloves and steal toe boots that are just my regular wear everywhere boots. usually a backpack. but fucking hell its hot. I cant even stand my mesh jacket. its not that I dont care about getting hurt but definately going to get hurt when I have a dang heat stroke and wreck... idk what to do any suggestions lemme hear em otherwise idgaf I'll just keep a sqiddin it lol
@@Goshujinsama01 that's why you dress in a long sleeve white shirt. made out of cotton and really thin tho. trust me it works, i'm whiter than an association of karens! worst is when you get your slippers sun burned into your feet!
What happens when the wind feels like a convection oven
Yo favorite crip, hi-c, would approve cuh!
I think the ice cube thing is probably less about volumetric and more about potential spinal injuries should you high-side.
That was a cute half shirt you had on lol, at 6'2" I feel your pain though, most motorcycle apparel was designed for those 6 foot or less.
Odd question, but do you have an updated video of this kinda stuff now. I'm currently stationed in Hawaii and I only ride a ruckus but the dod has very strict standards PPE. I just really want a helmet and glasses/goggles that are cool in hot weather. Anything will help since I am wearing my uniform when I ride and can't get around that part.
blanket for my Guinea Pig! Bahahahaaaa Good stuff as always
It's not really an "endothermic reaction" because it's not a chemical change. The proper term would be evaporative cooling. Superb video quality btw.
I'm sure he meant "endothermic process" when he talked about the ice. But yes the phase change of water is definitely not a chemical reaction.
Technically it is a chemical exchange
Ryan, how about a city ride, with black versus light colored gear.. leather versus textile.. any thoughts? Many thanks..
Very cool and awesomely presented as always! I might add a small detail to all the water evaporation stuff, which is that I'd personally not consider it if your drive is mainly city-riding or generally low speeds and lots of stopping/starting. The water evaporation does take some heat away, but what really does the trick is wind, and if you don't have sufficient wind and you are soaked in water, you are basically cooking yourself :D -and I am talking from experience, this is particularly bad if the air is already quite humid.
Anyways, again awesome gear and tips, even though I have drop-down sun visor in my helmet, I really like the sunglasses. Like all your stuff it is awesome that you really take all aspects into consideration in terms of cost/quality, there are so many people out there who assume we have tons of money to spend on high end gear. Keep it up!
Quick question re the hydration pack - If I have an armoured vest on as well as a jacket - do I put the bag in between or would it still be best suited under the armoured vest (not sure that would fit)
you deserve more subscribers.
About the glasses, how much time it takes to go from dark to normal ? In cases you ride through tunnel... thanx
When I was racing I make ice packs with heavy duty sandwich bags, water, and a little rubbing alcohol to keep it from completely freezing. Put those inside your leathers and stay cool.
Beat the fierce Canadian heat😂
Could you do a helmet list if you have glasses (corrective lenses) or at least glasses friendly
All those tips are fine but can you do a vlog on how to deal with sweat smell on your gear? It’s my first summer riding in the heat and I bought a mesh jacket, moisture wicking clothes but all I still smell is sweat. Solutions, Ryan?
I carry 2 pairs of paper thin safety glasses purchased for $3.99 ea ... one blue ,one mirrored cleared , both are 100 % uva&uvb protection. Bought HEAT / COOL long and short sleeve shirts from Costco for $8 each both styles work better than anything I’ve previously purchased from Red Ram or Cabelas... cheap quality items
The ice cube ban for the bladder it probably meant with a potential crash in mind. You don't want any hard lumps between you and your back protector.
The filler cap does look like quite a big " hard lump", so no, the reason must be something else....
put a clean bandana in the water bladder to hold it open while it dries (maybe use that blue one after you realise you're going to jumped wearing it in certain parts town). wire could still puncture it or rust inside it from the moisture, especially long term storage.
Copper doesn't rust but good tip anyways
Have a look at this: Macna Dry Cooling Vest. You fill it with 0.5 L of water.
Hi there. I go to survey the bobster sunglasses. Most of the buyer review. The lenses doesnt even changed darker when exposed to sunlight. Can you clarify this.
Bill Ney the (Non-)Science guy... made me snorkel out loud
May ask what is your chest circumference, as I want to order the Coolit T-shirt? I went for a ride yesterday and almost got a heatstroke! I like your honest style, without marketing BS!
Ryan, I'd be interested to see you do one of your sciency, analytical, myth-buster style episodes looking into whether light color gear makes a difference in the heat. I have some theories.
Given that it has been proven that darker colored cars get hotter in the sun, I think its safe to say the color of your gear does have an effect
Us Florida folk love this sorta stuff
Hey mate, wil any of these strategies work under a vented non perforated leather suit?
What do Canadians consider to be hot weather? I’m down here in the deserts of west Texas and it’s triple digits frequently.
Tee tah good , i want for my stage shoes
I like the glasses Wal-Mart has a cheap $20 version haven't tried them but money is always an issue including cheap versions that still work would be good.
What kind of weather do you consider to be hot enough to warrant these tricks? The usual Canadian/Nordic 20C summer? Or something like a 25-30C heatwave?
Canada. heat? I am in Texas I can't help but chuckle. We had a 98° thunderstorm two days ago
Haha, it's gotten up to 115-120 degrees here in AZ. Arizona is home to the hottest place in America, Lake Havasu City.
+The Tech Bear yeah but it's a dry heat. You wanna come cut this humpty with a butter knife? but seriously 120° is ridiculous
letgouvgod I am lucky there. I don't know how you deal with the humidity.
I went to visit my hometown in south texas after living in new england for about 4 years last month.. When I got out of the airport I literally felt as if I had stepped into a sauna. I don't think I am going back for a while.
You lads would be at home here in Thailand - monsoon rains and 110º in the hot season...
What the next best shirt to the coolit ? I heard they fit really small
While is cold in the western hemisphere is crazy hot in Alice Springs, aus
Why not just throw some small cooler packs in your pockets instead of ice cubes?
Endothermic reaction
Because you have to bring them home and when you lose them your wife gets pissed
Hi what make are those sunglasses that will take your prescription lenses please?
