Base and Midlayer - motorcycle underwear June 8, 2015 12:22
What you are wearing under your motorcycle jacket and pants can make a big difference when it comes to your riding experience. When riding in colder weather you may feel like putting a few layers of clothing to stay warm and comfortable. You start feeling like a 'michelin man', not comfortable at all.
But yes, there is such a thing as Motorcycle Underwear! Base and mid layers that are designed for motorcycle riders. Layering appropriately can really make the difference comfort wise.
When dressing for cold weather you need to make sure you have quality motocycle underwear to keep you dry and warm.
Merino
Merino wool is a high-end material used in performance athletic wear. Merino is excellent at regulating body temperature, especially when worn against the skin. The wool provides warmth, without overheating the wearer. It draws moisture (sweat) away from the skin.
Like cotton, wool absorbs water (up to 1/3 its weight), but, unlike cotton, wool retains warmth when wet. Like most wools, merino contains lanolin, which has antibacterial properties. Merino is one of the softest types of wool available, due to finer fibres and smaller scales. It has an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio compared to other wools, in part because the smaller fibres have microscopic cortices of dead air, trapping body heat similar to the way a sleeping bag warms its occupant.

Outlast
Outlast works as a thermal shock absorber by slowing the rate of temperature change within a wearer’s personal microclimate. Outlast reduces the rate at which a person will overheat or get cold.

But base and mid layers can really make the difference in hot weather as well! Leathers and nylon start feeling uncomfortable and can get sticky when the temperature rises. A layer of soft underwear between the rider's skin and the jacket can can make a difference. An underwear layer keeps the jacket or pants from resting directly on the skin, allowing air to circulate and preventing the sweaty skin from sticking to the outer layer.
Some of the motorcycle underwear is specifically designed for warm or hot weather use. This creates "micro-climate" within the garment, allowing an insulating layer of air to both keep you cool or warm when appropriate.
Many of our products are made from a type of fabric that wicks away moisture (draws moisture from the skin to the outer layer of fabric), which can also add to the comfort on those hot and sticky days.
