    What do you guys wear underneath gear.

    I'm looking into getting some underwear and undershirts that would be more comfortable than regular boxers and gym shirts. Last year I sweat my ass off. There must be something better, but do not cost as much as motorcycle specific undergarments.

    Moto-D has a undersuit for $70 which I think is suitable for the track but not as convenient and versatile than something thats 2-piece. I started looking into attire for sports that's moisture wicking to keep cool, allow free movement, doesn't ride up, and keeps sticky sweaty skin away from leather and came up with a few that I need opinions on. Also, please suggest something thats cost effect and will work for what I'm looking for.

    For bottoms I think I'm looking for something longer than regular shorts of full length pants. I think this will help prevent riding up to the crotch area.

    Full legth. Maximizes movement and allows free movement against leahter/jeans

    11.5" Keeps skin away from leather/jeans.

    8.25" The shorts I'd go. lower legs fully exposed, upper leg partially exposed. Might hinder more movement I want.

    For tops I'm undecided between compression or fitted. Main advantage of fitted is that it can easily over lap the pants which is looks better for street when jacket is off.

    Long Sleeve compression shirt

    Long Sleeve fitted shirt

    What do you guys think. Any opinions or suggestions to point me in the right direction? Looking at EastBay branded stuff because they're much cheaper than UA stuff, hope its similar in quality. Thanks

    Undies and a longsleeve Alpinestars Wick shirt.....makes getting out of the suit much easier.

    Re: What do you guys wear underneath gear.

    UA or UA-type stuff. Long sleeve and long pants. Get the heat gear and you won't care that you're covered all the way if it's hot. Cold gear in the cold keeps you toasty. shorts and t-shirt over for walking around the pits

    Depends on the weather.

    Cold=long under armor top and bottom

    Warm=short sleeve under armor and non cotton boxer briefs. If it's really hot then I include monkey butt powder because guys know what I'm talking about.

    Re: What do you guys wear underneath gear.

    Been doing UA long sleeve compression, with 9in compression shorts.

    Works well, however the backs of my knees get a little chafed sometimes so I may switch to pants or the MotoD suit that KB just posted above.

    I switched to pants a couple years ago for that same reason, I run my socks over the pants and its much more comfortable than just shorts and doesn't feel like there is any temperature difference.

    Re: What do you guys wear underneath gear.

    I have some UA compression stuff (long top and bottom hot and cold and short sleeve hot) and I picked up some Nike ProCombat fitted tops (long sleeve hot and cold and short sleeve hot) that I think work a little better.

    What's the difference between a bolt and a screw?
    First you screw, then you bolt.
