PsycleSkins

When it's hot, PsycleSkins' special moisture wicking fabric, works to keep you cool and dry. When it's cold, PsycleSkins work to keep you warm and dry.

Our wicking fabric pulls moisture away from your body keeping if dry. This transfer of moisture to the outer layer of the fabric which allows you to be comfortable regardless of the weather. This movement of moisture also allows the fabric to dry 50% faster than normal cotton fabrics.

Another strength of our fabric is the smooth texture. This allows you to put your leather on during the hottest days and protects the leather from being attacked by the salt in your perspiration.

Our PsycleSkin does not need elastic or stretch panels because the suit moves with your body. We know the last thing you need is to be restricted in movement going around a aggressive turn or have elastic bound wrist or ankle cuff slide up while racing

PsycleSkins are made with pride in the U.S.A and Canada!

I've gotten a chance to wear the under suits 2 times and I'm pretty impressed... :fact

The first was at a recent drag race where it was start and stop racing and staging in 90 degree weather... The PsycleSkins did there job and help "wick" away moisture and allow it the evaporate more quickly them before. I'll admit I was a bit sketchy on wearing a complete "FULL" undersuit do to the added heat but I had no troubles... Once done the undersuits promoted quick suit removal which is a big plus if you've ever fought removing your suit when your HOT... lmao....

Last week on a cool day I took out for a ride suited up and I really felt like the suit added an extra degree of comfort to the ride.... +A to the crew at www.motorpsycle.com , Drop them some business and tell them the R1-forum.com sent you. These are great Christmas presents..

It says it keeps you warm in the winter but how warm is it? New York has some pretty cold temperatures and I like to ride right up until it snows. Will I only have to wear it and my leathers?

I haven't tried them yet since I haven't ridden my bike in about a month due to lack of time or being sick. I will however ride a little on my vacation Dec. 6 thru 12 and let you know.

so i've seen / read a few things about under-helemt hoods / masks which are supposed to do the same thing this suit does i.e. keep you cool when you sweat (and help keep liner clean) and warm when it's cold. i can def seen how the warm part would work, but i'm a bit skeptical about the cool part. anyone got any experince with this? do tell.

The concept is when your hot and sweating it wicks the sweat off your body into the material and evaporating it quicker. Which in turn allow cool air to flow to your body... On the cold riding, you won't be sweating so it's just an extra layer for a small amount of added warmth.. I've ran these skins and like they way they work and feel :fact

I got my PsycleSkin Elite today for $95.00. Per SpidermanSS recommendation, they feel silky and LOOKS as if they will keep you cool with your leathers on. I will go home tonight and put them on with the leathers and play around the house for a while to see whats up!

OK, I got a chance to wear them briefly AFTER this photo when I got home. My only complaint is the top zipper was scratching/itching my skin. If I wore a t-shirt under it would correct this. I will probably drip hot wax on it or have it diped in plastic!

As for the picture, don't ask! Long happy hour at the local watering hole!

Well worth the $90. shower, dry, baby power, psycle skin! Leathers slip on smooth, your cool in traffic, and when you stop take the jacket off and use it as a shirt:thumbup

It really has not been that hot here but it looks at this point that these will definately do the job.

I still have armour, but yes I think so. Ask SpidermanSS as he has had this longer than I have.
