There's heaps of different undersuits available.

I used a Receka one last year, it wasn't the race one but it didn't survive a crash at Cadwell at the start of the year.

I replaced it with an EDZ suit which I'm yet to ride in but trying them on with the leathers is good. I also like the idea of the Kushitani undersuits - I'm going to try one of those soon hopefully.

Personally I use a light tee and Ron Hills on the bottom which work fairly well....

Helly Hansens are good and can be bought reasonably from some sports shops or outlets - we have a Mountain Warehouse (i think its called) locally and they always seem to have them discounted. Ladies sizes can be even more discounted since thet sell less frequently - not that I've worn any womans under garments, obviously :eek:

I used a Receka undersuit last season, but it just seemed to cook me even more.

I'm using a rash vest now (like what surfers etc wear) it's much better. A ventilated set of leathers would probably be more useful though.

Alpinestars undersuit works a treat for me.
Hot or cold.

2-piece Rukka base layer for me. Wicks moisture away nicely.

I use the EDZ undersuit, works a treat, I can now get in & out of a size 40/50 Spidi NRG Pro 1 piece suit......without the help of the wife

I have one of their tops. They are designed for hill walkers etc, to be super wicking, ie they soak up the sweat off your body very quickly and then let it pass through to your next layer of clothing. Real good when you are up a freezing mountain, working up a sweat as you walk then take a rest for a cuppa and a look at the view. Stops the sweat cooling you down and giving you a chill. I have only used mine in winter, not tried it in the warm weather but will give it a go.
