Underwear Choice

Guys…after 50 years of riding, I've purchased my first set of "true" leather riding pants. Asking what is the preferred material for underwear for leathers. I understand cotton is a no-no…so is silk, compression, double layer moisture wicking or ??? the proper choice. Brand names would be helpful...Thanks

I generally wear Under Armour. I also have a one piece A*'s suit. Both work about the same. The key is wearing something that fits skin tight and is slick so the suit slides off when you are drenched in sweat.

You could get a leather thong to go with your leather riding pants ala Village People. However, if you have been riding 50 yrs you must be 60+ and not even Gok Wan would be into that look.

I suggest something all encompassing like an EDZ undersuit or long sleeved vest and long johns like the Waltons used to wear.

Personally I see nothing wrong with cotton, in our climate at least, I often go out dressed as Miley Cirus from the wrecking ball performance under my leathers. Should the worst happen at least I am certain to make the newspapers

Sorry luke, I give up the comfort of my hillbilly bib overalls for riding…even at 64. Thanks for the info young gents….

Not one suggestion of a "union suit" or going "commando" ?

Things really are slow here ...

I'm waiting for the Depends or Pampers advocates to arrive….

Not easy to find a retailer, however, this is neat stuff

I still wear bicycle spandex padded shorts under my riding pants....especially for longer rides.

Got a Kawasaki Ninja Union Suit back in the 80's for Xmas. Red suit with the Ninja LoGo. No Shit.

Well, ate something bad on a winter ride. You guessed it..had to take a shit and fast.

Had to take every frinking thing off except my socks, in a firkin crappy bar/diners one hole shitter stall with others piss on the floor.

That will teach ya about Union Suits..

Commando ? ? You must be talking "Free Balling".

"What, no trap door?"

Nope, none I was trusting to work.

Winter has finally gone it's way and one of our annual riding events was last week. Thanks to all (except Agro) for your suggestions on under garment choices. Tried a couple types (knee length compression & full length ski type) and will say that the longer ones make for much easier removal of the leather after a long day of riding. Was very surprised at how comfortable the leather was in high 70's low 80's temps.

Thanks again for your suggestions…

AGRO….This is for you mate!!!
