OAKLEY Carbon X Base Layer

First time trying out the Oakley Carbon X base Layer. Initial thoughts, was expecting it to be a bit hotter under the sun as it is black in colour. But turn out it was not hot wearing it at all.

The look is cool and the fit is fantastic. Love the red stiching finishing. The short sleeve was a bit confusing for me at first as was not sure which side was front and did not wanted to look weird but then again wearing it either way no one would notice as well as it fits so well either way.



The long sleeve top was great too as I used it on Sunday and worked out really good.



First time throughout the two day I felt cool and sweat dries up really fast and did not have the normal discomfort associated with wearing pants and T shirt. In the past when it got as hot as Sat, I would sometime be seeing stars especially after the heat in the car as I am baking in and out of the car.

After seeing cars catching fire the last round in Bukit Jalil, I decided to be safe than sorry. Skin graft was not an option for me if the car catches fire. Can you imagine as flash fire of over 1000 degrees in the first few second if it flashes into the car. Safety comes first, the heat I can find my Honda and sit in it to cool down with the air cond, which I did. The RM 2.70 fuel price would hurt but then again I am hot. so air cond it is.

The Oakley Carbon X base layers offers the highest level of protection currently available in the market. Carbon X will not ignite or burn even when exposed to temperatures exceeding 2600 F for over 120 seconds. Nomex will disintegrate although it still give you better protection than normal clothing. Best of all it has minimal moisture retention and great wicking properties.

Short sleeve is great for practice just in case.

Long Sleeve is FIA 8856-2000 approved.

Especially when water is been dumped on to you during the prize giving..hehehehe
