Had it out in the states for 4 weeks june/july this year, we did a coast to coast, average temp 36c, quite regularly 38 peaking 41c, pretty much all the way!
So quite a good heat test, even the east coast where we thought it would be cooler, were experiencing a heat wave! We had a good old thunder storm in Texas couple of hours in fairly heavy rain and again in alberqueque (can't spell).
It didn't leave in a drop, the vents were very accessible and operable even while on the move, handy when riding up to cooler heights of the National Parks!!
Initially used the water bladder in the back space, but found it dragging the jacket down a bit, so ended up putting it in my tank bag!
Found it very comfortable and would recommend!!
The Hunch back look!!
You still looked a twat though !

Looks a good trip, scenery looks great.
The long way down lid goes well with the other gear.
How much did it cost to transport your bike?
I'd love to do something like that, what a cool trip.

Forgive me but i am sure that Paddy would also advise you to try it on before you buy it, otherwise it might be one size too large.
Isn't that what you would have said lloyd.
Absolutely, unfortunately jacket manufacturers methinks, expects most bikers around your age to have a more fuller mid section and try to accommodate such a physique (like your own), us more fitter taller types have to purchase a size thats fits our sleeve length also and that sometimes means getting a more overall loose fit!
Good try but load a bollix, it's too fookin big for ya- woteva
I know when I'm beat! 
Sorry ollie!
