Default 661 assault pressure suit too hot?

Just wondering what kind of hot weather people have used the 661 Assault Pressuit Suit in:

I'm in texas and it can get pretty hot (90s). I was wanting some kind of chest and shoulder protection that wasn't too hot but did the job.

Thanks,

Brad

im assuming this is for downhill riding and in that case pressure suit is probly best, but if not or if you want somthing a little cooler just get arm pads and a chest/back pad at the same time

I have a couple of mates with pressure suits, we ride in Wales UK, which is pretty cool and pretty wet, and they get hot.
Now they are used to it, they say its not too bad, but we as yet we havent hit 20C yet....so i'll guess we'll see in the summer.

I bought some Motor Cross armour instead, its lighter, does the job, and has much better airflow........though i do have to wear a wicking layer underneath it or i get joggers nipple.
I've been thinking about getting a kidney belt to go with it too.
I wear mine with the elbow/forearm pads. Its comfy, light and sturdy.
