The title sure is deceptive, there are no similarities with any T-shirt we've ever seen.
A perfect fit

The high tech features of this base layer are pretty hard to get your head round and include Air Conditioning Body Channel system, Air Traps Insolation Pads and Expansion Ribs. Get all that?
So what does it really mean? Basically it provides you with optimal temperature control, vibration absorbtion and aids circulation. The baselayer is designed to be worn tightly next to the skin, the fabric actually supports the muscles, or so it feels. At first the sensation is quite strange, the pressure is gentle but noticeable, when it's cold outside you can feel your muscles do stay warm and I dare say injuries are prevented too.
The back section has ribbing that allows air to circulate and maximises the drying of sweat, the finer fabric sections ensure rapid transportation of heat away from the body to prevent overheating. Apart from where the sleeves meet the body there are no seams, making a super smooth fit. The arms, shoulder and waist are all articulated which works well with the super-stretchy nature of the fabrics used, this baselayer is literally like a second skin.
We tested the X-Undergear in a variety of conditions from serious sub-zero temps to warmer winter days when sweating was more of an issue than getting cold. Which ever you choose to ride in the X-Underwear, it performed suberbly, infact we'd be happy to standby our claim that it is simply the best base layer we've ever had the pleasure of wearing.
