Hi i did the HUMM (Northern Spain in Summer) in my winter gear and suffered. Sweating like a hog and uncomfortable all the time. Wouldn't recommend it.
For 2009 I bought a pair of desert pants (Akido not the most expensive) and got a mesh bodyarmour with a light protective overjacket.
In the heat of the day, the mesh armour on it's own was enough.
Being comfortable is hugely important. Spend a few bob on suitable gear and enjoy your trip -leave the suffering for us Catholics!
BTW I love my summer kit and especially my desert pants and wear them here well into the winter.
Get onto EBAy now and pick up kit cheaply (buy helmets and boots in person!)
W!
