Balistics, and what you wear underneath!

[SweetLou]

A earlier thread spoke of wearing Under Armor under your leathers. I was wondering if the same could go with balistic wear. As it is, I usualy sport just a sleaveless T-Shirt under my balastic JR jacket, but I was thinking, would it still be safe to wear just some under armor with the balsitic pants, or do they get some of there strength from wearing jeans under them. I want to remain as cool as possible, which means I would prefer to wear just the under armor with Balistic pants, but I will wear jeans if I really have to.

I wear shorts and a t-shirt at work in the summer and that's all I'd wear under my gear be it my speedmaster leather pants or phoenix textile ones.

Under Armour (http://www.underarmour.com/) is not amour as in protection during a crash. Under Armour is designed to keep you cooler by wicking away perspiration. A lot of the guys that wear full leathers say that Under Armor also makes it easier to get the leathers on and off. If you have a well fitted jacket with good armour/padding you should not need to add anything under it.

what he said....

I have a couple of ballistic pants.. one for wearing outside of clothes when it is cold and the other for wearing without clothes underneath.. except for shorts or boxer-briefs...

I go commando in my JR Ballistics. I do have a large pair to wear over jeans when it gets cold. What do you feel comfortable with?

I usually wear a t-shirt under my jacket. Of couarse it fits perfects and has built in amour.

Oh and by the way, remind me to never buy bluekats ballistic pants, should they ever come up for sale here

Yeah, I knew the underarmor was to wick away mositure. I just wasn't sure if you needed to wear jeans with the balistic pants or not.

Sounds like you don't, and thats what I wanted to hear!

That's probably gets alittle interesting after long day of riding and taking off your gear?

I wear a back protector and t-shirt under my Ballistic Jacket. I bought it with the intension of being able to wear a sweat shirt or other warm clothing under it so there is plenty of room.
