[gunrunner]

What do you guys/gals wear under your leathers ? As i am looking for a new pair for myself i know of alot of people that dont wear anything apart from the obvious under them , Me i have always worn my jeans under mine . What do you fellow riders think ?:headbang:

[Jerry74]

If its cold wear a pair of thermals under them

[blairh]

I personally wear a pair of old track pants.. nice and comfy, plus warm.. and they don't have to look good, noone's going to see them!

[marioc]

T shirt and undies. I bought leathers that actually fit me so there's no room for another outfit underneath. I see a lot of people with baggy leathers and hope they don't fall off.....baggy leathers do not hold armour in place.

I ride naked. I find it does more to improve my visibility than does one of those naff fluoro vests. And it doesn't leak in the wet. Marvellous!

Be careful what you ask for. The last time I lay on a beach, DOC officers turned up and tried to roll me back into the ocean.

I was ready to reply but have spent the last 3 minutes staring at number ones post and have completely forgotten what i was going to say.


aaah thats right, how the (&*@&#^$*@# do you fit jeans under leathers? How about chucking a swandri under your jacket too!

thermals, and/or windproof stuff.

and lots of vaseline.

Thermals, t-shirt, undies.

It depends entirely on the time of year and the weather. I'm coming around to the idea that a light shower-proof nylon top under the jacket can prevent heat loss if the wind turns cold. Easy to take off and stuff away. One of those "jacket in a bag" things from the Whare House.

A while ago I rode to Christchurch about 6:00am and stuffed one of those strong plastic shopping bags - the department store type - down the front inside the leather jacket. It was amazingly warm.

[hospitalfood]

i find i get a fair amount of wear on my tackle

[Neon]

Also helps to stop you sweating into the lining, which can be a pain if you can't remove it for washing. Not sure whether or not it'll be too hot in Summer. :woohoo:

Stops the nipples chafing?

[Jerry74]

Bike pants and a singlet in summer..

[Zapf]

Either wool or silk under my leathers.

some garments if worn under your leather can grip onto your skin if you have an off, and still end up having rash from the garment. (its from experience)

I like it when they chafe...makes them extra sensitive later :niceone:

I was meaning under my leather pants not a suit , For all the ones that say naked imagine if you were in an accident and you were knocked out cold and they had to cut your leathers off . As for wearing jeans under mine its more comfortable for me like that:Punk:

[Zapf]

they had to cut your leathers off

they will be cutting what ever you are wearing underneather too!

Like wool. Seriously, lost a bunch of skin years ago. Cotton's not that flash either.

You sound like my mother dude. "Have you got clean undies on boy? What would the nurses think if you turned up dead in grubby Y fronts"? <_<

yea, I should be more clear. Am wearing merino for warmth. Else silk should be really good against bunching.

Good question.
Got me thinking. When I get my two piece I will probably look at something like this

http://www.extremeracing.co.uk/

I will hopefully be able to leave sets of clothes at work (for the commuting ride) And pack clothes for other times. Not cheap but if it makes you comfortable than that can be worth lots! Still ok for sitting at a cafe. :done:

Or worse.

A friend in the UK is a casualty nurse and she hates bikes - had too many bikers through the doors, the staff refer to us as walking organ donors! Anyway, she keeps telling me the story of a biker had the skin ripped off his arm (wearing a T-shirt) by the leather sticking to it and then twisting as the leather gripped the road and his arm tried to carry on.

Oh, I use this stuff in winter

http://www.edz.biz/

and this in summer

http://www.underarmour.co.nz/shop/mens/apparel

All long sleeve and full tights.

[normajeane]

In the cold I have my thermals on at least two layers under jacket and I wear my murkens oops my knee warmers. Well, they look like murkens and when they slid off when walking around, I had to quickly pull them off my feet.. Also as jacket is large, i usually have a jersey on too, plus neck scarf and muff. That about completes the attire as well as gloves and boots. We wear gators (leather of course) to stop rain into boots.:love:

[Usarka]

My leathers are perforated so i wear windproof shit under them. But in winter i normally put on my "no mates norman sports touring cordura setup" ^TM which is nice and toasty and saves having to stop if it rains.

Wear clothes-pegs too, get them really worked up :eek:

[naphazoline]

i reckon something like these would definitely be good.

[blacksheep]

don't wear anything synthetic under your leathers............it melts,this from experience.
