I just got them in Oct but it was pretty hot then but felt fine going down the road. Since Nov it's hasn't been over 80 that much so it's been perfect weather. In the morning commutes it's always been under 65 since Dec so it feels chilly going 70.
I got them specifically for riding and any more wear is just a bonus. I really only wear them a couple times a week other that for riding and it's not like I'm out hiking or jogging in them so the heat shouldn't be an issue and if I plan on walking very much outside I doubt I'll be wearing them. I have another pair of 21oz Esefs that I wear more often to ride to work since they're not so dirty and fit better for work.

eczerwonka, Iron Heart 21oz are surprisingly very breathable. I say that I won't wear mine to India but it's more because as a woman, I wear my shit ultra tight (I wear slim cuts)…not much breathing room. So, for me -- the real reason I won't wear IH to India is that I wear tight jeans, not necessarily that they are 21oz. I'm willing to bet that my 2 pair of straight cut W30 21oz Iron Heart (baggier boyfriend fit) would be just fine in even HOT climates. As seen in LandoCal's and Special_K's previously posted pics, you realize that Bay Area hiking in Iron Heart garb is actually quite do-able and pleasant.

Actually, Till is a PhD from UT-Austin. I'm an undergrad from Texas A&M U., in College Station. But I may as well throw in that I have an MS from The University of Colorado, Boulder. To be honest, I wish I were a Longhorn. Coming from Akron, Ohio (where I attended high school), I didn't know the difference. Texas A&M University gave me little excuse but to study since College Station/Bryan doesn't have a lot going for it – unlike Austin, TX !

Ah well… Gin-tonic makes the world go round...
And a nice large glass of Rioja (or 5) takes away the pain of skiing all day…

My poor knees tell me I'd be happier if I hadn't been skiing all day, but you don't know my sister, Sara. She's a ski-monster. A demon. A great skiier but she def gets her money's worth from her ski pass. I hurt.

Rioja - mmmmm… I once had a Slovenian wine though, that was as if you were drinking the blood of the Antichrist. Never found something like it anymore... It tasted as if were a mix of old cheese and some of the heaviest wine imaginable - and came in 50 cl bottles. Just because 75 cl. of it would probs've killed you. Or at leàst make you go out on a killing spree with a fistaxe.
Home from work. I survived it!.. Wine, pasta, and lotsa rest. So tired :-\
