    Under Leathers?

    I just got a new 2pc suit the other day and I was just wondering what you guys where under your leathers.

    UnderArmor is popular, but I'm too cheap to spend $35 for 1 shirt!

    I picked up some Starter "Dry-Star" shirts at "The Evil Empire" (according to Dave) - aka: Wal Mart - for about $12. They're 100% polyester & are essentially the same idea as UnderArmor - wicking away moisture & keeping you cool. They also provide a slippery layer between you and your leathers so you can move around on the bike better. I got 2 long-sleeve shirts on closeout for $10, and a short sleeve w/half zip for $12.

    If you're going to go this route, you may want to consider buying a size smaller than usual - the Under Armor fits VERY TIGHT, whereas the Starter stuff fits like normal t-shirts.

    Thanks. Now what about the lower half, do you generally just wear shorts or a nice tight speedo

    Yea, that would be cool, but I have a feeling the stuff they use for the "web" design on the suit would probably inhibit movement under the leathers (ie: stick)

    I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

    Ahhh, long dead threads.

    On the subject of the thread though, do people wear clothes under their gear? I typically just wear a tank top any my victorias secret . Sometimes tank and boy shorts.
