What's the best thing to wear under one piece leathers in this hot weather?

In the winter I'm fine, but if I wear shorts and teeshirt I find they bunch up. The old manhood gets a bit uncomfortable.... if you see what I mean?

I use those EDZ things i think they are called. Very good stuff.

Another vote for an EDZ suit (Or a similar version)

Only trouble is if you have to get changed in public you look like a bit of a girl cos they are very snug. I've only got the bottoms but they are all day comfy in the summer.

What's best....one piece or two?

Edz one piece for me, although mines a bit saggy, so I need to eat more pies, or get to the gym.

One piece is ideal if you use one piece leathers.

They have a two way zip so it's easy to pee without having to get undressed and they make getting in/out of your leathers SO much easier, especially after a long hot ride out and your leathers would normally stick to you :eureka:

Dainese 1 piece undersuit, knees have soft stretchy bit so it doesn't stick to leathers so its easy to move around, expensive but the best. Alpine stars do a summer use bottoms but its not as good, i've got both and for me the Dainese one is better. They also do a new 2 piece made from same material bt i haven't tried that yet.

I use Helly Hansen base layer which is supposed to wick away sweat and help you stay cool. I think it works well but confess I have never tried Edz. Used it on a biking trip to the moto GP in Barcelona and it stayed fresh while my mates Edzs reeked!!

Is that a question, or a statement of your own preference?

So, bottom half then?

Seriously, are youse guys really saying you're significantly cooler/more comfortablewith another layer under leathers, rather then nothing (apart from boxers etc)?

Top half I can see the sense of another layer, and I'm sure there's better things availble than an ordinary T-shirt.

yes, its way better with good base layer. the dainese suit i have is thin and stops suit sticking to you so you can move around which is way more comfortable and you can get it off when you finish your ride, even in current heat wave i always wear it.

Significantly more comfortable. None of that damp that cotton t-shirt & shorts leaves you with. It's much easier to get out of leathers after a hot ride as well.

I'd forgotten how good they are until going out on the hants rideout on saturday with t-shirt and shorts under my leathers as the undersuit was in the washing machine.

IT was entertaining trying to get out of my leathers when I got home that night. At least my wife found it funny...
