Base Layers
Some years ago I bought one of those 'onesie' base layers. I can't remember the brand but it was a highly recommended one. 'It's what the motorbike racers wear' I was told.
It fitted well and it cost me around £50 at the time I think. That may be inaccurate. Anyhow....I wore it for a bike trip around Europe for 5 weeks. The weather was hot for the duration and the onesie was rubbish. I sweated like a sweaty thing. I had to wash it every night because it was a stinky thing by the time I found somewhere to stay. It was also uncomfortable and a bit itchy when I got hot.
So the question is, what base layers have you all found to be useful for travelling in warm weather. I'm not interested in fleece linings because I'm a good weather rider only and I don't need to worry about being cold.
I wear Frank Thomas textile jacket and trousers with the winter lining removed. I really like it, good quality kit, but I need a base layer because it makes taking trousers and jackets off so much easier and a good one is supposed to do a good job with getting rid of sweat. Should it be another onesie or should it be separate top and bottoms.
