since its getting hotter quickly now, i wanted to look into under garments for slipping on the full leathers a little easier. i read a lot of good reviews on psycleskins

but at $90 a pop, idk if i REALLY need it that bad.

i know a lot of riders wear underarmour, so i was leaning towards that, especially looking at the ones with the so called "heat gear" technology.

what do u guys think?

any spandex gear will work... go to a sports store and pick up a shirt and pants... just make sure they're the HOT WEATHER versons... you can spend under $60 EASY...

Under Armour rocks. It's definatly well worth it. I own several pieces of Under Armour gear. From shirts to boxers. It's all well worth it.

Several companies make knock off versions for less money. The knock off versions work, but seem to wear out quicker and aren't as comfortable. They even sell the knock off versions at Walmart and Target.

Pick up a few pieces of Under Armour gear and a few pieces of the knock off gear. Wear both and see what you like better.

From my experiences, I'll stick with the Under Armour.

I started wearing underarmour in highschool football. I have one cold gear top that I wore for 3 seasons worth of playing and it only has one slight rip in it. It is definitely good stuff. Wont buy any other brand.

I like my UnderArmour undies for wearing under riding gears as well.

The legs are really good, but are probably too hot for under leathers during the summer.

Nope. Actually, they are a must when wearing leathers ;)

We have an UnderArmor outlet store close to the track... it's AWESOME!! Some of the new stuff that has come out is incredible. CoolMax type stuff to Cold Weather gear.

I've been using synthetic underwear that wicks away sweat for three decades. Polypropylene, Cool Max, Wick-Away, etc. Hiking, biking, skiing, or riding, the stuff works fantastic. But it also absorbs smell, so you need several pairs. I have a ton in every color and length. I buy different brands from REI, a discount sports store.

will try both knock offs and underarmour brands. Gonna look for the skull cap too to wear under the lid. Been wearing a bandana to keep the liner clean...

Ive used different pieces of under armour gear for different sports from football to basketball, track, cross country, baseball, everything and have absolutely no complaints with any of it.

The psycleskinz are cool but unnecessary. Any brand with a slippery material like that will help you with suit ingress/egress.

In addition, any cooling technology and/or moisture wicking will help you a lot. I have underarmour.
