I always wear jeans but in the summer riding with a leather coat on gets just too dang hot so its a t-shirt for me. I dont think I can survive all I just take the chance over heat exhaustion. I just ride very defensively anymore , not that I will always be fine just take extra precautions. That and I have lots more experience with riding also helps.
Get a good Mesh jacket man, I have an incredible Teknic Mesh w/ Armor, that saved my ass and its still in awesome condition, the only casualty to the jacket was a torn button that my friend is sowing back on for me. The jacket compared to my AlpineStar Leather is like wearing a hoodie.
