Best bike accessory I've bought recently is a set of "Knox" "Dry inside" underwear.
It certainly makes removing your leathers much easier on a hot day & leaves you feeling dry & comfortable.
I tried wearing just the underwear below my leathers on a morning ride to work at 6am in the UK (in August) but found I needed an additional layer + winter gloves! for warmth. So much for the British Summer!

Highly Recommended

I've been wondering what to waer for underwear, but didn't really wanna post asking a question "what do you wear"! I was thinking about Underarmour, or something along those lines. I'll have to take a look at the ones you posted. I'm more worried about staying cool than warm though.

Riding in Arizona, I'm always looking for ways to stay cool. I'm 100% sold on UnderArmour. They are not only cool but they have really small seams and wash out nicely and dry quickly each evening on longer rides. Combined with a sheepskin cover on the seat, you get good ventilation and wicking that keeps Monkey Butt at bay! I have recently gone to a Corbin seat without sheepskin. This weekend will be a test at 105 degrees!

I just found a great deal on underwear. It seems that Danskin has gotten the contract for th U.S. Marines and is making underwear and shirts to combat the high temps over in the sandbox. They run about twelve bucks and seem to be pretty good. Like Underarmour, but green and with XSTATIC sewn into the material. Here's a link to what XSTATIC is:

Not sure I would base my decision on the best product by what contract the US Marines have acquired. The US Military has the great reputation of low balling troop related contracts and then selling their soul for hardware. Being retired USN I have some basis for my opinion. I am with Tuson Bill - Under Armour heat gear does the job great. I have had a couple of EDZ suits and they work well, but IMHO the underarmor works the best.

Under Armour is a great product. I use it on all long distance rides.

It looks very good except for one thing - I don't know how I'd feel about intentionally making myself into a rolling lightning rod!

That Danskin w/ the XStatic looks like it will be the answer for many of us. , Great features....... thermodynamic combined with the anti microbial and anti odor (not that I need this) functions. I bet these get popular with the riding/skiing/snowmobile crowds.
