Our Two Cents
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! :: Paul 04-05-12
