What to wear under jersey?

What does everyone wear (if anything!) under their cycling jersey? For
shorther rides I used to wear a cotton T shirt but with longer rides I
find it gets sweaty and stays that way. Is there some sort of
singlet/vest that you can wear under the jersey that is made of that
'coolmax' type material?

My other problem is with the B&B style of shorts. I wore them last week
for the first time (work issue for the ATB) and while they were very
comfortable going to the toilet is a pain! Is there any special tricks,
or is the only way to go to the toilet to take your jersey off
completely, then pull down the shoulder straps?!

Any advice appreciated, James

You can get undershirts from www.probikekit.com.au but they won't arrive
before the big day. I'd suggest ducking into Rebel and buying a running
shirt (tight) made out of Adidas' Coolmax or similar. Or you could just
wear a second jersey!

Go down to LBS and buy a thermal tshirt. To have a **** pull the leg up and
drop the old feller out. Simple solutions that will work on most days

I wear nothing under my jersey. I thought the whole point of a
jersey was that it lets your sweat escape - putting things under
it would stop this effect, making you a soggy dude.

At the same time though, I've had a few people tell me at
races that I SHOULD wear a t-shirt (I guess coolmax etc
would be fine) under my jersey. It is supposed to reduce
the damage in the event of a crash by allowing the two
items to slide on one another, rather than on skin.

I still haven't got a pair of these but I'm glad I'm not the
only one who has puzzled over this issue! :-)

JAF Simple!

Nothing wrong with using layers but cotton is not the answer. I keep it
simple and use both long sleeved or short sleeved thermal tops (try Paddy
Pallin etc) ie polypropolene etc, these do not absorb sweat and they allow
the jersey to still wick away the sweat, but get a good fit. Note: some
work better than others. Also black L/Sleeve tops look fine under a short
sleeve cycling jersey.

So it's toilet time and you have B&B shorts on. I pull jersey up a little
and there is enough stretch in the bib to pull down and find the old feller
and away we go. Other way is to simply pull up the leg. You would be
amazed how much these the shorts stretch.

Even better - go to a camping or army disposal store and pick up a thermal
tshirt. They are generally cheaper than the LBS and have a bigger range as
well.

Which Company are you riding for JAF?
