I bought one of these. Just arrived - seems really nice quality for the price, but the leggings are way too long for me - so .................

Having an undersuit that doesn't allow you to go for a wee is a bit of a show stopper, doesn't look like you can easily respond to a call of nature with the Dainese gear? I'm very happy with the Held 1 piece leathers I recently bought and I see they do a 1 piece undersuit complete with zip that looks like it will allow easy 'access', think I might get a set:

Did you ever get the held base layer?

I'm needing to get something to keep me warm on an upcoming trip, and looking at the 3-d warm range.

Also looking at the pro skin, as that seems to be one of the more common makes.

I need something to keep me warm, but also needs to fit under my leathers that seem to be shrinking!!!!

I've had a Helly Hansen baselayer that lasted 8 years, now needing replaced. I tried Dianese baselayer but it wasn't very good, it tears on stretching when putting it on. I've now gone for another Helly Hansen 'Lifa' top and leggings.

TOG 24 for me. 151's look good, seen a couple of BSB riders were them.

Re TOG 24 I always buy the discounted items :encouragement:

I wear 151's

They work well, much easier to get leathers on/off with them, they are compression fit and help prevent muscle fatigue as well.

I usually get mine at the TT or at the bike shows when they have a discount deal.

How well do they work on a cold day? Do they hold off the cold much? I like the idea of the compression stuff, as my leathers are so tight at the moment, after a summer of very little exercise, and lots of cider

If it's cold, they feel cold when you put them on, but if you're riding properly, you will soon warm up, I mean moving about on the bike, hanging off etc :torn:

My TOG24 shirts are good for 13c to about 22c (road riding), given that Im from the South you could probably get away with 3c min lol

Lol, shrinkage?

if its under 13c I wear 2 tops, under 9c 3 tops.

I took a ferry over to Lewis/Harris from Skye, bloody choppy on way back.
