Therefore, you don't have to worry about sweaty, uncomfortable rides, thanks to Harley-Davidson's innovative cooling apparel and accessories. Continue reading to discover cutting-edge products that Harley-Davidson has developed to help motorcycle enthusiasts stay comfortable and cool during the hot days.

Comfortable Apparel for Every Enthusiast

Your riding attire is the first line of defence against the summer heat. Harley-Davidso offers both men's and women's cooling shirts that use innovative technology to ensure comfort during the dog days of summer.

  1. Moisture Wicking Fabrics

Opt for shirts made with materials such as polyester mesh or Coolcore®. These materials absorb moisture away from your skin, allowing fast evaporation, thus keeping you cool and dry. Some moisture-wicking fabrics you may consider include the Harley-Davidson Men's Wicked Short-Sleeved Performance Shirt or the Harley-Davidson Men's Coolcore Bar & Shield Shirt.

  1. Mesh jackets for Ventilation

With mesh piecing and bank venting, this shirt boasts a relaxed fit that keeps you cool by maximizing airflow. Mesh jackets are also durable thanks to the rugged poly/elastane ripstop fabric.

  1. Relaxed Fit

To prevent the uncomfortable sweaty-shirt feeling, avoid clinging clothes and choose relaxed fits that allow better air circulation.

Cooling Vests

For a maximum cooling effect, you should invest in a Harley-Davidson cooling vest. These vests come with the special HyperKewl™ lining that utilizes evaporative cooling to regulate your core temperature. You only need to soak the vest in cold water for a few minutes, and it will provide up to 3 hours of cooling relief. The vests are available for both men and women.

Hydration is the Key!

Riding a motorcycle requires high concentration and focus to navigate the traffic safely and respond to any road conditions. Dehydration can impair your cognitive function, reducing your ability to stay alert and make split-second decisions, thus exposing you to accidents. The good news is that Harley-Davidson has your back with the following innovative products.

  1. Saddlebag Coolers

These insulated coolers fit perfectly within your saddlebags, keeping your snacks and drinks cold on the hot days.


  1. Saddlebag Water Bottle Holder

A Harley-Davidson Saddlebag Water Bottle Holder ensures the reusable water bottle is within easy reach to help riders stay hydrated throughout their journey.

Additional Motorcycle Enhancements for a Cooler Ride

Besides clothing, your motorcycle plays an important role in enhancing your comfort. Some of the motorcycle enhancements offered by Harley-Davidson to combat the summer heat include:

  1. Ventilator Windshield

Did you know a taller windshield can keep you cool? Well, it does so by deflecting hot wind away from your torso. At Harley-Davidson dealerships, you'll find various windshield options that are suitable for your motorcycle and riding style.


  1. Mid-Frame Air Deflector

This unique accessory from Harley-Davidson improves your comfort by redirecting hot engine air away from you, particularly in stop-and-go traffic.
