I picked up some stuff from Walmart on Saturday, and tested it out on Sunday under a full leather one piece. I was in it for upwards of five hours. It worked incredibly well.
For pants I got the Athletic Works long underwear ($14). For the top I have Everlast long sleeve compression shirt ($20).

Would you still wear these long underwear under leather pants in the summer while touring?
Carmen, contrary to popular belief, long sleeves and pants actually keep you cooler if it is the right fabric for the job. The idea is to sweat and the evaporation process happening on the fabric actually cools down your skin. Different fabrics do different things, some "wick" sweat from the skin to the outer layer of the fabric, spreading it out over the surface which allows it to evaporate. Other fabric just breaths better, dissipate heat faster, and dry really quickly. The quicker the evaporation process, the cooler you feel. Here's an example, wash your hands in a public bathroom and put them under a hand drier, they feel cold at first even though the air coming out is hot.
If you wear long sleeves in a fabric that is designed for winter sports the fabric is usually designed to trap in heat even though it dries quickly. Its all about the weave, content, and weight of the fabric.
Hope that helps!
