I know you shouldn't wear underwear under bike shorts BUT:

Here's the situation: I'm on a collegiate cycling team and my (mostly dude) teammates thought that white skinsuits would be a really good idea. They are ALL white. The whole thing (except logos).

This obviously raises a number of concerns, most of which I think could be resolved with a good cycling-specific bottom baselayer.

I'm thinking I might try the Craft boxers. Is anyone else wearing something between herself and her chamois? Got any favorite garments?

I guess if it were me I'd cut the chamois out of the team kit and wear it over another pair of shorts.

Or bleach.

I wear underwear under bike shorts they're called something like "next to nothing"
I have never had a problem with this and have ridden thousands of miles a year.

Do you have the skin suit yet? Is it actually see though? I wouldn't worry about it until then. Companies are actually doing much better with white these days - thicker better lycra.

There's a team out here that has all white too - they don't have see through problems even in the wet.

Biciclista, a quick google search came up short for 'next to nothing' but if you have any more info I'd definitely be curious!

Eden, it's not as bad as it could be, but I think everyone would be a little less uncomfortable if I had a little more of a safety layer. The kits are champ-sys which is fine but not stellar.

Thanks everyone so far for your input!

I've worn smartwool microweight boy shorts underneath when I don't like feeling a clammy chamois.

It may not be worth the money, but I wonder if a tailor could add a layer of that tan bathing suit liner fabric into the pre-existing seams? Might also end up causing friction problems but I wouldn't think it would be any worse than adding a layer of underwear.

If they're uncomfortable seeing you in the white, they should've taken that into consideration before choosing that color! Make 'em deal with it

(and thanks malkin, now I have "clammy chamois" stuck in my head!)
