  • What do you wear under your riding pants during hot summer days

    Guys, I was wondering as to what kind of material/apparel you wear under your riding pants to keep your yourself cooler and rash-free?

    Personally, I have tried two layers of cotton shorts, which works just okay.

    But is there anything that is more effective, particularly keeping in mind the Indian hot and humid environment?

    ----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

    Also, has anybody tried wearing these for long riding hours?

    Cotton boxers do it for me with a generous amount of Dermi Cool splashed all over.

    But, Performax Shorts from Reliance Trends and Decathlon Shorts are VFM solutions to an extent.
    Easy to wash and dry and super comfy.

            Irrelevant of which season it is, I am using cycling shorts which comes with extra padding and it prevents the butt from becoming sore to some extent than usual boxers.

              Under my gear I wear a t-shirt and boxer shorts (imported from England) when it's hot I douse my t-shirt and chuddies with water, it really keeps you cool with the air flow, a bit ghetto but it really works well and i'm usually dry within 25 mins of riding, after that perspiration begins.

              More than 98 percent of convicted criminals are bread eaters !
              Statistics show that more than 75 % of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread !
              Bread is known to be extremely addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water, actually begged for bread after just two days !
              Bread has been proven to kill. Scientists have now uncovered alarming evidence that 100% of the people who eat bread will eventually die !

                Just back from The Great Collectors Ride. Did this ride in possibly the worst time of the year to do a motorcycle rider, peak summer across the country.

                After a lot of research, i got myself a 300 rs. running tights from a local sports shop in Karol Bagh and it worked better than my expectations. There are several branded ones available in the market, ranging from 1500 rs. and above, the material is polyester, which helps keep the skin dry and cool by helping the sweat to evaporate, which keeps your bottom comfortable even after hours of long riding in hot weather. It also helps you getting in and out of the riding pant, which becomes a task if it is soiled in sweat.

                not really a good idea to soak the undies in water before the ride. The moisture on the skin will cause wrinkles and dampness, which is the root cause of the problem. The idea is to keep the skin as dry as possible.

                  I wear Darien Pants and in cool or cold weather I usually where a pair of running tights or light polar fleece pants. I got a pair of insulated tights that are thicker on the front side of the leg at a bicycle shop that work nice, and light weight polar fleece at the ski shop.

                  in hot weather I wear some brand of high tech moisture wicking undies and workout shorts like "bike" short but without the padding!
