I thought under armour was for cold weather protection? Those don't keep you to warm?

Under Armour has the cold weather gear called Cold Gear which contains a micro fleece, and they also have hot weather gear called Heat Gear which is like a pretty light spandex kinda thing that keeps you pretty dry. I wear the compression t-shirt with the heat gear leggings and after a ride I still feel nice, dry and clean.

I love silk undies. But the only ones I've ever had were boxers and they offered no support at all.
Well, going on vacation on Wed. - gonna see if I can find bicycle shorts or the under armour undies sometime after coming back.
Today was a beautiful day for going for a ride. upper 70's to mid 80's.

BAAAWWWAAAHH
you guy's are soooo funny
In SA we have the problem of the sweaty ball, we have the opposite of the wind chill factor, known as the wind burn factor. 30+ degree C can produce in excess of 45 degree wind burn and metal tanks can cause serious damage even through leathers.
Dehydration of the ball can then became a serious problem. Notice how most South African riders have mastered the art of hanging off the bike, this is not an advanced riding technique but is in fact a way of directing air onto the ball area in order for a cool down. As most South African men have balls like Elephant ears this produces a similar effect.
Our underwear tends to consist of the latest animal skin technology, in particular, Buffalo, Rhino and Elephant hides. Cured and stretched and then custom fitted bu Zulu virgins in order for the perfect fit. Woolworths also stock a cheaper version of Ostrich skin, small, medium,large and please call me.
Trust this fits in with the current discussion and dispels any urban legends about African men.
