If I'm going out on a short ride in extremely hot weather, I will probably only wear jeans and a light leather jacket (and gloves). I am wholly aware that my risk of injury has stepped up a notch and I ride pretty sedately. If I'm going out for the day however, I will always put the gear on though. I don't feel that I can relax without it. Like SteveH41 said, there isn't an issue with heat once you're moving.
What gets me though, are the myriad Scooter riders and 125ers who seem totally oblivious to the dangers of riding in shorts and t-shirts (shell suits in Liverpool). These things will do 60mph and I dread to think what the rider will look like after a slide along the tarmac at that speed (or even half that speed).
Mind you, each to their own!
