Carbon-X vs. Nomex

Does anyone have any opinions regarding the comfort level of nomex underwear vs. carbon-x underwear? I have fairly senstive skin and would like some opinions about the materials, especially in the summer heat.

Thanks!

I've got no experience with Carbon-x, but depending on what type of racing you'll be doing, you may be able to get away without nomex underwear if the suit you buy has enough fire protection. Some of the nicer suits have a 'comfort nomex' layer for the one that touches your skin, then have the rougher stuff packed into the middle.
