Ok so i played football for 16 years and have snowboarded forever and Raced Boarder cross for about 8 or so. For both of these sports i have worn under armor clothing under my equipment. Warm stuff in the winter months, and long sleeve football stuff to protect from turf burns.

Well i am a retard. I don't know why i never thought of it before for wearing under dainese. The sleeveless under armor shirt is nice and lightweight, wicks sweat and is tight so it wont bunch up under your armor.

It can be had for about $20-22 usd at most football/lacross etc stores.

Buy it, your nipples will thank you!

I don't know. But right after that commercial aired, every 30 year old, fat azz, ex football player at my gym started sporting them.
Not only does the material wick well, but it really stretches nicely over a well developed beer gut.;)
Oh well, at least their commercial worked.

one of the kids on our crew tapes his nipples to protect from the Dainese chaffing.

Yes, he is a bit weird...

Looks cool, but is this that much better than wearing a normal jersey under the body armor? Occasionally, I'll pick up high-end "close-out" jerseys in nasty colors for cheap designated for "under armor" use.

No room under my armor for that for me! My large upper is tight enough. Also, during July and August, the less clothes the better because I sweat like a maniac. In the summer I sweat just by thinking of sweating.

Dude, its like 2mm thick :p

I agree with the less is more thing, I sweat like crazy too. The whole point of UA is its crazy wicking ability.

exactly it carries the sweat away from the skin, thus cooling you and allowing the sweat to dry. And its like 1mm thick and skin tight. That is the point of it.

I've been wearing wicker shirts for a few years now and boy are my nipples happy! You can also get them at most ski shops this time of year as clearance for under $10.

The good thing about it is that after the ride you can just ditch the jersey and armor and you are ready to go clubbin.

Seriously though that stuff rules.

Oh, is that what my wicker patio furniture is supposed to do, then, too?

Who knew rattan was a high-performance material? Cool!
