Our Two Cents

Here is a deal you’ll only find at MotorcycleGear.com! Firstgear originally introduced Basegear in 2010. And then In early 2012, they revised the material used in the apparel ever-so slightly. We’ve looked at both versions side-by-side and the difference in look and feel is almost imperceptible. In fact, FirstGear didn’t even find it necessary to develop new product photographs for the updated version. But, for whatever reason, they chose to assign new part numbers to differentiate between the old and new. In our store, we are calling the original version “2010” and the revised version “2012”. The good news is that we were able to buy all the 2010 product and we are offering it to you at a closeout price. Take advantage of the savings while this inventory remains. My product review: Basegear is essentially underwear that is designed to keep you dry, cool and protect you from chafing. The material used in the Basegear is a soft nylon material similar to common athletic apparel. It’s just a little bit stretchy and very comfortable. The fit is similar to normal tee shirts (not the skin tight muscle styles). This type of gear is specifically designed to be comfortable in warm to hot weather under motorcycle riding gear. But it is pretty sharp and I’m sure you could find other non-motorcycle uses for it too!

This shirt is 100% polyester, but is still pretty comfortable. The size chart is accurate. I've only worn it on in 80F+ temps, but it does seem to flow air well. No regrets buying this item.
