Ladies, what do you wear under your bike gear?

[bosslady]

I was wearing Orca which I got on special, but to be honest the sizing is a bit weird. I am pretty average sized but the legs and arms are way too long so I fold them back. Good quality but worth trying on if you can.
I have some 2XU which is a much better fit but expensive.

I think for riding even cheaper brands would be good.

And yeah I was amazed at how much better it is under my leathers in hot weather!

ah yes I went into athletes foot and had a look at their skins range and 2XU which I'd never heard of, expensive yes, good stuff I think I'll wait till my bank account will be more forgiving of me spending that amount of dosh though lol

I often wear the oxford chill out gear and im glad i do. when i came off my bike that saved me from a lot worser road rash as the sleeve of my jacket slid up. admittedly some days it is just too hot for that and its short shorts and a singlet

Most of the time I just wear my Oxford Chill Out which has the wicking material to draw away sweat from the back and my jacket is the ventilator, so nothing but lovely breeze going straight through. If too hot for chill out gear I stick with the skins I got from Rebel Sport.

Mostly, I just wear skinny jeans, leggings, a skirt or hotpants under my gear - it's vented and cool.

I still haven't sorted this properly. After a few months of riding now I've decided I definitely need some tights, like skins maybe or something, full length, cause in the heat my legs stick to my pants and so when I get my feet up onto my pegs they're super tight on my thighs and knees and makes it uncomfortable to ride.

Sounds like the pants need to be a size larger. But a few ladies I know wear silk pyjama bottoms ... or a cheapie polyprops under the riding pants. (shorts as well ... optional) Trendy colour schemes of both a must ...

I use cheap compression gear off of Trademe, bloody fantastic stuff for getting leather pants off without it being a two pwerson job! http://www.trademe.co.nz/clothing/wo...-568326355.htm

they fit just fine if I wear thin layers underneath and if it's a cool day my legs don't stick but if it's sunny... I would like to get another pair though yes

They actually look quite good. Is wearing another layer is ok in this heat?

Really? PJ bottoms?

[DJSin]

For the summer I wear skins (shorts and t-shirt style)

My Icebreaker addiction helps out in the winter.

Silk PJs sound lovely
