no not at all mate. I wish I could be of more help, but I cant. I will be watching the answer with much interest as last Sunday I could barely get out of mine, and they scratch me to bits on the way on.

I did have one idea which would help the on/off problem but not practical.

I have worn something simular to pyjamas, a thin T-Shirt and some trousers made of the same material work ok for me certainly in the heat in Spain and cost me a grand total of £8 from tescos.

I recomend Helly Hansen (spelling???) Base layer. I Use it regularly under one piece leathers. Added advantage of this clothing is that it doesn't smell bad after a few days use like the EDZ under suits do!

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

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.

EDZ suit ,I wore mine this weekend at RTL and it was hot ,thing is, know matter how hot and sweaty you get the suit stops the leathers sticking to your skin. they work for me

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....
