Leather suit: Difference between revisions

Line 14:

If you usually ride in hot weather, or are the kind of person who sweats all the time in the summer, you may want to get perforated leathers. These have tiny holes all over them to let air in while you're moving.

Plan on wearing either thin silk long underwear or some kind of space-age wicking material [[Boxers or briefs? Summer under-gear wear|under the suit]] to help with movement and sanitation. Silk doesn't hold an odor like synthetics sometimes do. It's a lot easier to clean silk or polyester than leather.

Once you get a good-fitting set of leathers, you may not be able to get warm clothes under them, but you can always wear warm stuff on the outside. It won't look quite as good, but would you rather be cool or freezing?
