Ladies, what do you wear under your bike gear?

[bosslady]

Hopefully there's not another thread on this though I'd not be surprised if there were. So, what DO you wear under your gear when just road riding? I've been getting mighty hot lately with summer and all, just wearing a singlet and 3/4 pants/leggings. What say you?

Oh and underwear goes without saying,.... or does it? ;)

[bosslady]

I wear my drystar jacket and pants with the thermal lining removed. There were a couple air vents I'd opened up to help me out but blardy hell I sure do get all kinds of gross and sweaty! Most unbecoming for a young lady such as myself :oi-grr: never in my life have I worked up such a sweat! I thought perhaps I should wear some of that material like they do for running, is meant to draw away the moisture and keep you cool?

[bosslady]

sounds like a trip to the mall is in order....

[Gremlin]

Play nice... this is Biker Angels yada yada...

Don't want to be a grinch, but if you ask for it... :bash:

[bosslady]

Doesn't bother me personally, but ok Boss :):)

[Quasi]

in summer, shorts and tshirt, so can get the leathers off and not be a source of amusement to any onlookers;)

I think I need some sort of leggings though cause my legs get all yucky too ewwww. Tried to find one of those very thin running singlets that dry real quick but no such luck, will look another day. Just sick of the humidity we have sometimes! thought I might get a sports bra to try and combat the under and between booby sweat-age. Sexayyyy...

[trumpy]

Not a Biker Angel so will probably get removed but, as I am trying to sort this problem myself...(us men of "senior" status are particularly at risk but probably, if the truth be told, the least likely to so something sensible about the problem). Check these out before the mods get to me...

lol! think I'd pass on those last two links but the others look more promising!

[Mom]

I wear marino leggings under cordura. Stops them from sticking. That really hurts actually.

I wear a singlet top, under a summer jacket that lets air through.

I will wear a summer frock, over pants, and take the pants, and my leggings :pinch: off when I arrive.

Anything that keeps me safe if I happen to meet tarmac, that I can wear in the heat.

Worst thing ever...

Wearing good quality gear and sweating your nuts off, while stationary.

Carry water, and drink it when stopped.

[caspernz]

Ok, I'm not a lady, but the most sensible thing under any biking apparel has to be merino leggings and merino long sleeved shirt. High natural fibre content, wicks away sweat and even has a degree of temperature control.

The most :eek5: thing I've seen a woman wear under leather was a string bikini, and it wasn't at a dodgy location even :sweatdrop

[*Blaze*]

I use some cheap(ish) compression baselayer gear off trademe. Worn them for 2 summers now and love them. No more getting stuck to leathers on hot days.

http://www.trademe.co.nz/clothing/womenswear/sportswear/size-12/auction-547144130.htm

[BADGRL]

Baaaahaha that string bikini bit just reminded me... I was working on my wee rgv back in my teens when I was still living at home, reeeeeally hot day, bikini top, grease up to my elbows - chucked my helmet on to fang it up the street make sure my fixit work was fine.... uuuummmmm Dad was coming home and passed me going the opposite direction!

.... never ever again!! :D rofl I think Dads seeing their young daughters on motorbikes is enough stress let alone in bare flesh :D

[bosslady]

hahaha funny!

sorry so hard to reply to all.. definitely think compression clothing is the way to go aye.. will let you know how I go!

[PrincessBandit]

Usually just a teeshirt or long sleeved thermal under jacket, depending on the weather; just me undies under bike pants - since reaching that wonderfully special (tui) stage of my life where my body has decided to alter it's shape considerably I cannot fit any pants or leggings under my riding pants. I'm cheesed off about it as my son, who does weigh more than me, can wear jeans under the leather pants I originally had (when even back in the day, I could not do that); and my husband is also able to wear jeans and lightweight trousers under his bike pants. Maybe I have to resign myself to looking like the Michelin man's mother if I want to be able to have any layer of clothing under my gear :weep:

I can't personally imagine myself being able to fit sweet f all under leathers. Textiles no problem though. Them damn thighs you see... they gets in the way... as do the side muffins, grrr...

Seeeeee, merino thermal type stuff is the go then, it's thin and yet comfy. Also known to be slimming ahem, if that's one of the required attributes...:bleh:

[Ratti]

wicking gear is great under leather. NOTHING is gonna help under textile tho. Essentially you are wrapped in a plastic bag, nowhere for the sweat to go.

Did a bit of loggingtrack riding in the hills behind Shannon recently. Sweated like a horse, got to the power station and downtrou'd in the shade just to let my liners and undies dry off a bit. Don't even want to imagine how bad it must have looked, but you know? I don't care either.

I also recommend any with a possum fur blend ... it is quite effective.

But nothing feels as smooth ... like silk (I'd wear it myself if I wasn't so tough :innocent:) ... well nothing I'm allowed to say/talk about in "Biker Angels" ..

Silk? nothing wrong with silk Trev. except for the price, far far better than any synthetic man made junk. Silk linings have been used in mens clothing for many years, and if you can get a silk jump suit. then you will be comfy as. The modern equivalent satin, is crap. But I do agree Marino with possum fur mix, ( also expensive) very very good.
I have a black silk suit that is so light and cool to wear in summer.

You've got the wrong textile then. Get the right textile and you'll be able to go through a greater range of temperatures than leather. Leave the waterproof liners in, or have gear where it's stitched in, and sure, it's not going to be pleasant.

I've ridden in 53 degrees in textile jacket and pants. Hot, but having the (hot) air flow through still provides cooling.

I remember a very young and attractive little thing I was at Uni with wanted a ride on the back of my bike. Came to mine and I got some gear out... big over pants were presented to her. She asked if they go over the top... oh no I said... best remove your pants.... which she did. It was awesome.

I've got an Xmas voucher for the mall so I'm going to go to Stirling sports and see how much their legging is, compression stuff. I've been using my running dri fit Nike singlet but funds permitting will see what else they have!

there is another sort of gear that is light & thin (just trying to find what it's called) but it does take the sweat away from the body a few of the advid riders use it, I use swazi leggings & tops & they have ladies stuff as well (www.swazi.co.nz)

Tried out wearing compression gear today... Can't believe I haven't tried it before. Was much cooler than the dri fit running running singlet I normally use.

wow that much of a diff eh, sounds great! what brand?

[Dogboy900]

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!

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

[chic 'n' charge]

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.

[GDOBSSOR]

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 ...

They're really thin and light - I can't stand wearing leathers without them now.

Mine aren't tight enough to properly comment on the compression qualities but they're fantastic for the purpose of being able to get gear on and off easily.

Skins and the like can actually help regulate body temperature. ie, keep you warmer when cold, and cool you down when hot.

[*Blaze*]

I can vouch for the C7 COMPRESSION SKINS used them for 3 summers now and I love them, can't wear my leathers without them.

Through winter I use windproof thermals, breathable at the back and windproof material on the front, also have a high neck which is great, they are unisex and fit me fine :)

There is also Oxford Chillout Thermal Inners, the range includes shirts, socks, gloves, kneck tubes, balaclavas, leggings, and even knee warmers. They are windproof, keeping you toasty in winter but cool in summer too.

A little cheaper than Skins range too I believe.

[Tarded]

New guy here, first post is about womens clothing. Oh dear.


How about not wearing black all the time? My last set of race leathers were mainly white, much better.
Yeah they can get dirty but cleaning isnt hard.

And wool under leathers?? Surely not?!

Getting back into road riding now but the one piece leather romper suit will still get used when I feel 'inspired'.
In winter the gortex type gear is awesome, warm and dry is what I like.

[Grashopper]

But, but it's all about looks...and my nice armoured blue/black leather jacket makes me look like a Power Ranger. :Punk: ...just unfortunately a male one...

That's good to know, I was going to start looking for thermals ready for winter. Kathmandu or MacPac etc.:niceone:

as for summer riding - singlet and undies, seriously it's just too hot to wear anything else (unless these thermals are good) I wear kevlar though so with the vents open I don't stick to my pants, much :bleh:

One of ACC's own pieces of research - and on their website - says that black gear may actually be the best in rural situations because it stands out from the background much better than colours do ... and that plain single colours a better in an urban environment ...

The paper is actually mesy because it has several pieces of reseach which have slightly different outcomes .. but it is not so obvious that hi-viz is really best ..

[Grashopper]

At a rural petrol station the other day. I was just done and took of my glasses (I'm short-sighted) to put on my helmet. At the same time two bikers left the petrol station, one with high viz the other one in black. I was able to follow the one in hi viz easily with my eyes, but the one in black just sort of blurred into the road/tree background.

Another day I was in my car on the new SH1 around Taupo (ETA) I was able to make out a cyclist in orange high viz from nearly a km away around a corner. (Ok, at that distance I was wondering if it was a traffic cone I was seeing, but at least I noticed him :))

So yeah, for me high viz seems to work, thats why I wear it, but I have to admit my black leather jacket looks much better without the high viz vest on :(

Generally my bike gear is....

Shift Torque Jeans

Rhino Jeans
http://www.rhinopants.co.nz/jet_black_m.html

They are both very comfortable in the heat and cold, and if going on long rides in winter I can wear my RJays cordura pants over top....

Under my jacket is usually just a T-shirt or a rugby jersey

Ive got leather for the jacket and gloves, as you know still looking for the pants (not leather, theres dike and then there dike)

but boots- thats going to be my challange. I have dancers calfs so nothing fits round there. the only ones that i have taken a fancy to and fit are $500. I want them with a slightly pointed toe so i can get away with wearing them at work, slightly heel risen would be nice too as I'm a short shit and would make it easier to get away with at work.

Those pants look familar, do they come in runty short with fat thighs?

Ive got a pair of pants, that entirely don't fit. I ended up getting flustered trying them all on and just bought a pair. Thats why I really dont like sales people- I am the worst person to sell to or shop with. So indecisive.

I am 5ft 8ish and they are if anything, slightly too short for me, but not by much and I have a size medium I think. I bought my pants and jacket because they zip together which I do like. My boots, well you saw what I have in that link and they are too big around the calves for me a bit but that's because my feet are pretty big but the legs aren't, ya know. But they're not shoes that are appropriate for wearing to work.

There seem to be quite a few boots that would look ok in an office. Hehe, as long as you were long pants with them and not a short skirt...although that might look interesting :D

I just had a quick look here: http://www.boydmotorcycles.co.nz/Store/?c=71130&t=1

Although not sure about the calfs, but many of the boots are cut to be wide enough to stuff your pants in.

Finding pants can be really annoying. But I wouldn't buy them online if you already have problems finding fitting ones in the shop. If they don't have anything to fit you at the shop have them order stuff in in different sizes. They should be able to send them back without problems if they don't fit.

Coroprate administrator for me, but I always wear pants and the same short heeled boots. I'd feel so strange in a dress. I used to wear 5" stilettos, but then I decided on comfort and started parking further away.

I'm tempted to put a little piece of frabric under my gear shift so I don't scratch my boots and then just learn to ride in these for the to and from work commute. They are leather and ankle high.

Why don't you just keep a spare pair of shoes at work? I have to when I ride my bike to work, albeit not that often. I have to have steel cap boots for work though, can't wear my moto boots. Personally in terms of riding my bike to work I'm more concerned about messing up my hair and makeup than my footwear, lol.

I have curls so hair is a nightmare, I found a satin/silk scarf works wonders.

Helmet doesnt smudge my eyes and anyway I carry foundation in my handbag. I'm not very good at being girly though, my make up skills are very lacking.

[Angel_of_Metal]

Currently I'm finding that even at 5am with the winter lining in, I am quite happy with nothing on under the trousers, and just a polo on under the jacket.

Summer on the other hand.. Oh wow did that get hot! I tended to go with 3/4 leggings or some short shorts (thats the only time I will wear them actually), and have a t-shirt on, no bra, under my jacket. Better for modesty/not traumatising others that way. Though if I have no intention of stopping during my ride, then might just go with nothing on *gasp*:msn-wink:

I should probablyu elaborate and add that when I say 'nothing' I will still have undies on underneath, no need for you to get all excited.

Though to be honest if I ever do need an ambulance, riding or otherwise, modesty is something that is not going to be high up on my list of things to do at that point

http://casapalmera.com/assessments/eating-disorder-self-assessment/

Your eating disorder self-assessment score is 46
You scored between 39 and 50
Strong tendencies toward bulimia nervosa.

If you scored below 50, it would be wise for you to 1) seek more information about anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa and 2) contact a counselor, pastor, teacher, or physician in order to find out if you have an eating disorder and, if you do, talk about what kind of assistance would be best for you.


Well that's interesting...... I am going to see a dietitian next week, because of food related medical condition but not bulimia or anorexia :laugh:

[bosslady]

Your eating disorder self-assessment score is 52
You scored between 50 and 60

Weight conscious. May or may not have tendencies toward an eating disorder. Not likely to have anorexia or bulimia nervosa. May have tendencies toward compulsive overeating, obesity, or binge-eating disorder.

If you scored between 50 and 60, it would be a good idea for you to talk to a counselor, pastor, teacher, or physician in order to find out if you have an eating disorder and, if you do, how to get some help.

[Banditbandit]

far out .. I scored 60 .. but more importantly, there does not seem to be any score which would tell you that there is no problem .. any score suggests that you taklk to someone about a possible eating disorder ...

On that note where is a good place to get my bike pants altered. They are textile and I just need some work on the crotch done.

ASAP the better.

Dreaming of female bikers .........now im guilty of that,.....oh what she wears under her riding kit is a silk body suit she had made for riding, warm in winter cool in summer, awsome to the eye too.....but very expensive.

Ok, I've got the jacket/helmet/gloves/boots, but I am getting cold legs just wearing my jeans. I've looked around for something that will block the breeze, but so far I've found nothing. Where can I buy reasonably priced protective leg wear. I'm also starting to get hot under my leather upper stuff, so any help in learning to dress properly would be appreciated. REMEMBER I'm a newbie at this, so be kind :rolleyes:

If you want to wear jeans, Draggin' jeans def do a good job of blocking some wind because of the kevlar knees. Having said that...they don't protect against impact, only sliding, in the event of a crash. Otherwise just go for some textile pants, Rev'it do a good ladies range with knee armour etc. I can only recommend shops up here (Akl) for where to buy gear though, although Motomail can do online ordering and they are great for ladies gear.

Leathers are great and the best protection you can get, but unfortunately there's no way around the heat issue. You just have to ride faster! :banana: Some leathers do have breather panels in them, though...

Get some decent Kevlar jeans as above.
Thought I would just add that they have to be decent as the cheap ones don't have as much kevlar, which other than potentially not helping as much in a spill, the lack of it makes them considerably cooler (particularly the Snell ones).

If you're on a budget, buy second hand. There is a lot of chicks gear on trademe that has never been, or hardly been worn if you're fussy.

As for being to hot, if you're just rocking around town a textile jacket might be a better option, or decent under layers that control your temp a bit better like merino. morphic.co.nz do some pretty cool merino stuff.
