BMW Summer Functional Underwear

Invicta Moto · May 9, 2004

Anyone tried any of the BMW stuff... page 108/9 of the 2004 "Rider Equipment" catalogue? Have been looking at this sort of stuff for a while and in hein Gericke etc.

Want something to trelieve that "boiled in the bag" sweaty b'stard feeling when riding in warm/ hot weather?

Any solutions?

I'm a great fan of Fictional Underwear. I have links to related sites if required.

I had a friend once who was prosecuted for being a fricative underground .....they caught him very easily because they knew he'd always eventually get off at Staines...

Try the Rohan stuff. Doesn't have fancy paraffin capsules, but is very effective at wicking away sweat from yer bits. Used them in 38 degree weather last summer in Italy - works a treat, washes out easily (travelwash) and dries overnight . REALLY cuts down the amount of kit you have to take.

For my tour of Spain in 10 days time I've just bought a pair of Tourag cordura pants from Hein Gericke. They are in a light grey colour, the lower legs zip off to make a pair of shorts, Knee armour and hip pockets if you want hip armour, zip openings down the thighs for air flow, loads of pockets, belt loops, a top class piece of kit for just £69.99!!

Have used the functional underwear for about 2 years now, found to be realy good in all weathers as have used every month of the year.
Works well and does allow skin to breath, have found no problem with this but would recomend that you wear them next to your skin to get the most from them.

Fuctional underwear

Mr Helly Hansen or any Lowe Alpine gear works for me. warm when its cold and cool when its hot. Superb stuff for all year use. Any good camping shop should see you right.

I can't find these anywhere on the HG site - can you point me too them ?

Try something different

Both Zwerver's buddies told me at Nurburgring that since they started riding with g-strings they never suffer from sore bums or any other long distance related probs anymore. Sound a bit :ymca

but apparently it works a treat.......

Update

Fugging excellent. I bought one of these for the missus and me from Cannon's by mail order and they arrived in time for the trip.

In hot weather when worn under my half leather half textile HG Maxwell jacket it worked a treat - no more sweaty arms soaking the lining of the jacket. The Missus has the Gore-Tex Maxwell and was happy. Plus they are thin and wash out at night and are dry in the morning.

Wore mine for the best part of 2300 miles over the 8 days we were away - excellent value for the £25 inc postage Cannon's charged.

The EDZ gear is really good. And you can wash and dry it over night. No more Betty Swollocks in the sunshine
