[QUOTE="Bill Lumberg, post: 1326421, member: 87479"] I wear conventional boxer briefs. Never ever wear jeans unless it's winter. Taclite 5.11's are much cooler and much less restrictive in the riding position. Whenever I can, my shirt (where most major/evaporative cooling happens, as your arms and torso are more exposed) is full synthetic- underarmor of some sort or something similar. On an all day ride, I do stand from time to time, as much for blood flow and airing out as for any other reason. I couldn't stand to sit in a chair all day without standing up and stretching periodically, no different on a bike. Side note- When you've inadvertently cross contaminated yourself after teaching an OC (pepper spray) qualification class (during the post-class urinal visit), and that stuff wakes up from the heat and moisture naturally occurring during the ride home, it puts all other heat related issues in perspective.
