Very true.
Once crossing the High Atlas we got caught in a snow storm, wearing every piece of clothing, including rain gear - it was like out of the movie Dumb & Dumber.
A few days later, it was so hot it was like being hit with a space heater - the faster we rode, the hotter it felt on the skin - again with the need to dress up. I never thought a wind screen could actually aid in keeping you cool before getting hit by dry air way above my body own temp.
I didn't have a significant screen at the time - visibility on rough terrain trumphs comfort.
Thanks for all the great info from all of you. It is really useful!
