strangely enough I called into the Liverpool Decathlon store yesterday while I was heading to the Eurovision village. some nice base layers and at a great price too

You’ve mentioned that you wear leather trousers, they might be supple and comfortable to wear but I can’t see them being breathable in same way as say pair of riding jeans would.

Leathers vary considerably. My perforated kangaroo leathers – superb in spring and summer – are light, breathable and even comfier than my single-layer jeans. I reach for the ‘roo at the first ray of sunshine.

In contrast, my BMW Atlantis leathers are neither ventilated nor the nicest in the heat. But they’re brilliant when it’s cool or wet.

Try Klim Aggressor "CoolCore" base layers. They do long and short tops and bottoms. Motolegends stock them.

I also use the Mountain Warhorse "IsoCool" tops and they are very good. And cheap.

Another pro skins user. Wear them all the time and they control temp very well. BSB riders were using them a few years ago.

Merino wool, it’s for a reason…

Thanks for that , I use merino wool for cycling base layers and wondered how it worked.
