He's says not the most exciting topic but I'm over excited because I had no idea about this side of riding haha I'm very excited now and ready to spend lol
One thing they forgot to mention is compression. A lot of base layers, especially the ones meant for hot weather, can also come with compression engineered into it. If youre on the track or riding aggressively for a long period of time in the mountains those compression garments can really make a difference.
Fair point. The Axial line for hot weather has a compression line and a relaxed fit line to let customers choose what they want. If you are wearing skin tight leathers, obviously compression would be the better choice but otherwise it has a lot to do with personal preference. I for one can't stand compression so I elect to go with relaxed fit. But I have a feeling most "husky" riders like myself tend to go that direction to avoid the sausage-casing-effect.
This is perfect timing. I'm riding Arizona and Southern California in a couple weeks. Trying to make sure I get the best gear to handle the temperatures and open spaces.
The range of technology available is astounding. Base layers for hunters and skiers would work as well I think and it would be interesting to see which is less expensive. I have no experience with motorcycle specific base layer products because for hot weather riding I am old school and for over 30 years have worn nothing but good old silk two piece long underwear under my leathers. They work well for me so I have no need to change.
@@williammahaffy4642 I use to wear just tshirts under it all, but after a summer of that it was miserable in hot weather. Glad you found something I posted useful. Enjoy the riding and stay safe.
Question: I just got a base layer dryfit bottom. Do I wear underwear (cotton) under it or not? Or should I get another dry fit underwear? I'm new to this so kindly help me out!
Thanks for the base layer details. On another note 🙂, I've seen that black T-Shirt with yellow bike (that you're wearing) a few times. I would love to buy one. Any chance you could tell me where you got it? (maybe RevZilla sells them). Thanks!
is the padded baselayer like the Forcefield suitable for summer? (temperture around 35Celcius to 39Celcius? beside Forcefield, any other brands have product like that?
On top? Something like Dainese Storm Jacket & Pants. For Base layer? Dainese D-Core Dry. On top perhaps a long sleeved t-shirt (merino wool if it gets chilly). Daytona Road Star boots. External rain glove on top of a short, light glove.
I wouldn't say it's BS. Everyone's body is different. I sweat a ton just sitting in an air conditioned room and it sucks. A good summer base layer keeps me from being drenched in sweat for a 15 minute commute to work.

Why does Brandon only have one shirt? Same one for years.

Made the switch to riding in base layers a couple years back and they make a huge difference in comfort! I never ride without them anymore.
Even using a thin helmet liner makes a difference

I think for skiers and hunters the base layers must be different (sturdier?) as they need a lot more mobility than an (regular) MC rider
Liked right when the video started. Needed this. Thanks!
Great video appreciate it… can we have a comparison video with brands with pros and cons for base layer?
My set up: Under Armor heat gear shirt, Knox urbane pro(for my D30 pads), Roland Sands Barfly leather jacket. Pants are Klim K50 with D30 pads.
Sounds expensive.
Great advice... I need some base layers (new rider) and just ordered 2 heat-gear shirts.
Thanks for the tip!!
@@Lex-Rex yes and no. Most of the stuff was bought on sale or close outs.

Polypropylene long johns work for me.

I don’t wear anything under my base layer bottom. IMO it replaces traditional underwear. But I’m sure there are people that still do.
@@scott2228 thanks for your reply! :)

Any base layers you recommend? Don’t really want to spend 100 dollars per shirt from alpinestsrs
You got through it... and so did I 🎤
Did we just get Rick Rolled?
What do you suggest in a tropical storm through the mountains?

i just have to have thin sleeves under my jacket, When I sweat enough, taking the jacket off becomes a real pain 😹
Nice
If some how they could make a base layer that acts perfectly like an AC
Once you have gotten used to base layers you really don't want to be without it.
Scientifical? 😂
Put your base layers in the freezer to get rid of smell
Been doing this for 30 damn years wearing a cotton t-shirt and flannel and a jacket. Never experienced any of this BS LOL.
