Just wondering what you guys for layers if you a avy vest or like a klim aspect. I have a non insulated suit lvl 1 base and klim inferno hoodie. Seem like it make be a bit warm in the chest in those in between temps and dropping a layer may be too cool especially on the arms. Just thought i would se what you guys all do in this situation since i was looking at new airbag and vest are intriguing
Chest layering question
- Thread starter BubbleNuts
- Start date
Klim Ripsa Monosuit
Klim Inferno Jacket
Klim Level 3 Base.
As it starts to warm up.
#1. Open the vents on the mono suit.
Cuffs, then Arm Pits, Then Thigh Vents and finally Leg Zips.
#2. Remove the Inferno Jacket and Close all Vents.
#3. Open all the vents
#4. Ditch the mono suit, your riding in June and its time for a SUNTAN!

OK did know if peoples chest get really hot and arms are either normal and shedding makes them cold
Oh, and that IS wearing a BCA Mtn Pro Vest!
k i didnt know if they made like a override style pant but as a jacket. i havent rode with my new hinged knee pads and worried they may pinch the liner on my 509 pants so may have to get a pair if my inferno pants are too hot with knee pads on
For me:
Klim Aspect 16 (Atlas 14 Vest intrigues me but not for the price and nothing wrong with my Aspect 16)
Fly Cobalt Uninsulated Monosuit
509 R-Mor vest
Moisture wicking t-shirt
Thinner Under Armour Base Layer Top & Bottom
Gym Shorts
509 R-Mor knee pads
I generally run very hot, and the airbag chest plate on top of the R-Mor vest definitely heats my chest area up. If I ever get cool, it's generally in my arms, and wearing a long sleeve t-shirt in place of the moisture wicking t-shirt, or on top of the moisture wicking t-shirt is enough.
Usually have my monosuit vents open with armpits first, thighs second, and sleeves last.

Ok i could definitely look at at look getting another long sleeve or t shirt instead of a mid zip up hoodie like my klim inferno. Only thing is my goodness those klim aspect 16 are expensive. There is also the highmark ones no idea how they are. They dont seem as common as there packs and idk what its is the bca on looks bulky. Yes i run very hot as well. You think the leatt dual axis hinged guards i have would wreck pants or will they be ok?
