Bikewear dealing with sweat

[Chrislost]

I find my leather one piece soaks it up well, just need to leave it hanging all week and shes sweet to go next weekend.
also the leather has holes in, above 130km/h these let enough air into my sholders/chest area. I have also found that i dont notice the heat untill i stop anyway.

Over summer I wear a dry-fit top under my jacket.

I take my work clothes in my tank bag and get changed.

Available from Cycletreads, I'd put money on being widely available in other places too.

Might have to try this. Just the thing for the MacKenzie Basin in January. Will have a look at the sites suggested by Portokiwi as well (Looks like it could be good for handcuffs too ).

Thanks guys

They even have different color handcuffs Good price on asp batons though.

I'm currently dressed in fashionable black, black and more black.
Kathmandu have a sexy (black) little number MBT09ES08 that is specifically designed to keep you cool.
Try one of those.

Previous attempts with long-sleeved t-shirts, were left with sweaty results.

Nylon/spandex FTW!

Eeerrr you could maybe shower when you get to work?????

Just a good helmet ... with a dark visor so no one will recognize you!
Gets a bit nippy in winter ... and you may need to wear a thermal condom or willy warmer ... as a concession to the weather .... but apart from that you should be fine ....

It's all good riding a 'naked' bike .... or bike ... naked !

I wear running tights under my black/gray leather all summer and works perfectly.

Leggings T-Shirt

Mind you, we have 35º~40º summers over here.

open your jacket cuffs and put them over top of your gloves. Tie your gloves on but leave your sleeves unzipped. This blows air up your sleeves and inflates your jacket.

Unzip the top third of your jacket while you are under 80km/hr.

Just those things are usually enough for me, and thats in dririders, the hottest of them all. The sleeve trick is great on the open road.

Mate that is so right..... Works too. Tried it the other day not good at the light but when riding sooooooooo nice

I know you're not the only one to raise these types of issues, but I can't believe so many can't fucken figure it out.

GET VENTILATTED GEAR!
Get ready promptly and get moving quickly when gearing up.
If you must come to a stop try and pick your spot - a shady spot, even if I have 10m in front of me at the lights, on a hot day I stop in the shade.
If you stop and are off the bike strip down.

and RIDE FASTER!

Fuck me, it's not rocket science.

Underarmor tops are designed to move the sweat around the body.
Buy them in most good sports or gun shops.

Hey, I was just wondering what everyone does to deal with sweating while wearing bike gears.

What Porto says. I bought some of those (on Nicstas advice) and it has been great. Keeps the sweating down and makes the gear easier to take off at the other end

Stirling sports also stocks it. Not cheap but good.
