SIXS summer Undershirt

 

It is the lightest weight that they use in any of their base- and mid-layers. 

 

It is engineered specifically for motorcyclists, and for the intense heat and conditions of high humidity. It is designed to promote perspiration; and what that means is helping accelerate the transfer of sweat from the body to the outside. 

 

This clearly is important in hot weather because sweating, or evaporative cooling, is the body's natural mechanism for cooling itself down. And this process can only take place if our sweat can transition from its liquid state into a gaseous one. And for this to happen the sweat secreted by the skin needs to escape the body.

 

The underwear's multi-zone construction combines more compact, durable areas with areas that offer higher ventilation. And this is done to place the more breathable zones exactly where they are needed.

 

SIXS's BT V2 range is 40% lighter than their 4-season line. It represents the lightest and most breathable platform the company has ever produced.

 

So if you're looking for layers to help you stay warm in colder weather, this isn't it. But if you're looking for a way to stay cool in hotter weather, this might be exactly what you're looking for.

 

As for us, well we just thought it looked great! But it's good to know that it's pretty effective too.
