I've found at 110 it feels cooler to ride with gear on. The hot wind and sun are just too intense. Pretty much in AZ it's over 105 for 5 months of the year so riding in heat is normal. I use the cooling vest once in a while, but normally it's riding jeans, mesh jacket and a camel pack filled with ice, which turns into water pretty quick.
Years ago when I was young and stupid, I commuted to work a couple times in a t-shirt. I remember hoping for red lights so I could stop and get a break from wind as it felt like riding in a blast furnace.
