What do you wear under your jersey??

Postby bunnybiker » Tue Mar 30, 2010 8:20 am

I am presently wearing a light crop top with mesh type back under my jerseys, but I seem to get really hot with this fabric double up. Short of going with pasteys(not pasties!), has anyone found something light, cool and comfortable that allows modesty when you open up the zip a bit? I have the mixed blessing of not being well endowed , so support isn't a major factor.

i'm the exact opposite of well-endowed ...

but I wear a bra and jersey. I tend to zip the jersey up fairly high, not because I'm modest but I like to prevent sunburn. Not too hot, because the jersey material wicks the sweat and cools the body.

I normally wear a sports bra... I suppose I'm not too concered about being modest... I have !! BAN ME NOW FOR SWEARING !! and will use them to the best of my ability :roll:

In winter I may occasionally wear skins underneath, crop tops in autum are okay, I normally wear them over a sports bra for warmth more often than not.

I'd check out Team Estrogen... just google them, they seem to have EVERYTHING that a girl could want for swimming, running and cycling.

Sports bra here. I have the jersey zip undone approx 2-3 inches when it's hot, and that's fine for me. If I ever struggle with heat, the quickest remedy is to pour water through the airholes of my helmet. That cools me down quickly.

I'll give that a go but it might seem a little odd in winter! (better check it's not the sports drink first)
I seem to generate a lot of body heat when I exerscise - I am a beetroot after a run , ride or dance I am relatively petite so I know it's not an excess weight issue. I just go hard!!

I wear a sports crop (nike is the current preferred brand). I find these most comfortable due to the wide band at the bottom and not an underwire as they irritate me when riding for a while.

Sports bra if shortish ride with run following, but the Nike crops are able to be run in (I'm a b-c cup).

I have a couple of Kathmandu crop tops. Buy them on sale, otherwise they are something like $90 each. I bought a size too small so they are tight.

I will only buy Coolmax or similar fabrics not the cotton blend ones you can get at Rebel etc because those fabrics get soooo sweaty.

I must be the only one who goes braless! Mind you, I'm not very endowed, but I just feel uncomfy with a bra on especially when I wear those full zip up bib knicks. Throw a jersey over that and you can't see a thing.

I've always worn just a bra under my jersey, but the past few days have been freezing even with arm & leg warmers. I find that my chest and back are freezing.
Someone told me the Kathmandu thermals (made with Polypropylene) are a must for winter commuting. Have any of you ladies tried this? I would have thought you'd get really hot in these.

Winter morning training in sub-zero temps = sports bra+jersey+100 weight fleece+Activent jacket
Really cold winter rides (ie entire ride pre-sunrise with temp around -5) = sports bra+polypro thermal+100 weight fleece+Activent jacket

Wearing this much if the temp was +2 to +3 instead of -2 to -3 is unpleasantly hot. I would go for sports bra+jersey+arm warmers+Activent jacket or a vest with windstopper fleece front

I generally dislike wearing thermals under a jersey because it's a PITA to take them off if the day warms up

What is a PITA, I don't think you mean Middle Eastern bread. I have heard it used before, for the life of me I don't get it. Please explain :oops:

Not a horse-riding accessory or S&M plaything ;) One of the short-sleeved undershirts found here, I think.

I struggle to get a sports bra in my size as I have a small bone-structure but a big cup size. I'm intrigued by this as its designed for larger cup sizes. Has anyone tried it and can comment on the sizing? It seems to be based off your rib cage rather than your bust measurement but i'm not sure how one size can fit from a C to an F cup. I only measure as a size small rib-cage wise but I can't see me squishing myself into a small
