X2, on LD Comfort. It works awesome! Get the long sleeve top also. Wear it and open your vents on your leather coat then pour water down the sleeves and down the back of the neck. It works like a/c and you don't get wet as the water "wicks" away in time.

Underarmor & the Circulator Pad from HD pretty much eliminate the whole monkey butt syndrome.

Personally, I think the Circulator pad has helped the most--it stays on the bike pretty much all the time now.

I agree -- bought a Circ pad a couple of years ago, don't leave home without it! Odd that it doesn't seem to be a popular or even widely known about option(?)

I saw a bike with a beaded pad in Mesa Verde NP last week. Years ago before cars with A/C where common people with sports cars used these. I just finished a ride from Miami to west coast and back and the thing that bothered me the must was the wet butt. These pad are at beadrider.com and are about $40. I will order one soon and try them.

been using the "bead rider" for 3 years. works great. I run down south every year and no sweat . the company has been a big part of the iron butt rides. you need to take them off when the weather turns cold. "could frost bite important parts"

LD shorts and the circulator pad make the difference for me on those long warm days.

I have the Circulator seat and backrest pads and they work great.

Another item I bought last year is a H-D mesh jacket.
Blocks most of the sun but lets the air breeze through.

I'm thinking now that I may need a face mas made of the same material to help prevent the "raccoon" look that I seem to develop every summer!

+1 on the bead rider, I've been using one for about 5 years and it makes a big difference. For the price you can't beat it.
