    If you can fit clothes under your leather, then you got the wrong size.

    A thin T-shirt or thermals is about it for me.

    Skin tight so dont worry . Just read stuff regarding skins etc and they are meant to be really good with blood circulation and helping avoid soreness and numbing.

    Yep, I don't know how the hell people fit jerseys and multiple layers under leathers. Mine are so goddamn tight all I can fit between them and my skin is a layer of polyprop or merino. My first leather jacket was so loose I could move the armour 90 degrees either side of my elbows

    Keen to try some underarmour, but I have two sets of thermals (top and bottom) that I wear all year round. Certainly makes getting leathers off a lot easier.

    I wear skins on a hot day - because they actually help cool yu down.

    When I tour and the weather is changeable I wear pure marino wool - cos it's warm and it doesn't smell after the end of a days riding.

    I ( sometimes ), wear cycling shorts under my riding gears, No heavy pocket seams to cut in while on a long ride. A pair of soft fabric trackpants are good.

    Merino thermals - summer and winter. Single layer summer, double layer winter. Cool in summer, warm in winter.
    I use two different weights. Icebreaker in the heaviest I can get (260?) and Finespun (from Farmers) is the lighter one. Finespun shrinks so go generous on the sizing when buying. Icebreaker has not shrunk - yet anyway...

    go for a close fitting knitted natural fibre. Wool, silk or cotton are good. two layers when its cold. artificial fibres melt when heated through abrasion. ie, some dumbarse bowls you, you skid, undies melt...ewww

    I squeeze a wind proof vest ( Kathmandu has a good one, look for them in 2nd hand stores) and a tight polar fleece under my jacket for winter rides.

    two layers of thermal socks with boots are handy for winter too.

    in summer its mostly bra, knickers, cotton liners and my tatts! If we ever have summer again that is...

    I'd be lucky to fit a piece of string between my pants/legs. My jacket I could probably get something in (have fit my back protector in but thats preety much it.

    I have no problem fitting clothing under my jacket, but damn, my pants are just too tight to wear anything under them. I can just squeeze my very fetching black thermals between my skin and leather in the winter - as I can't afford to have more layers of fat under them! lol

    nice to know you listened to your mother Subike...clean undies and a clean hankie eh?

    May I make an observation here dudes????
    vanity is fine and there is nothing like a tight pair of leathers to show off a nice bum... buuuut, isnt it nice to be warm on a long ride? Might be showing my age here, but I'd prefer to be warm and dry when I ride. lol. and they say women are vain????
