Under armor is great for sports without combustion possibilities. Assuming they dont make anything that is fire resistant still, under armor is not a good solution as under x or oakley, carbon x etc.. under armor in the event of a flash fire due to the synthetic material can melt to your skin. I highly recommend the fire resistant under garmets that are out there. I have now switched to using the oakly products. very comfortable and they wick away the sweat, it helps that I am not an extremely sweaty person though too however it is far better than a t-shirt because the sweat definately wicks away. Talk to to the guys at Parker pumper (racing plus inc) and they can hook you up!

Sorry. I should have said the ones made for the military are made with a fire resistant material.

Re: Keeping Cool?
The objective in a car is to make yourself into a human 'swamp cooler.' The Dez is dry and if you can make yourself wet and get some flow you are going to stay pretty cool. Then there is the Parker 425...where the opposite happened! Doh!
