Yeah, I thought that as well.

Maybe we can swap some cheap prescription drugs for cheap under armour. I know a guy...

Canada? Does it get hot in Canada? What is hot in Canada? I am not being a smart a**, but I am in the South and think of Canada as cool, so I would like to know. Also, what is pricey, in Canada? Again, I don't know. In US an UA shirt can be easily found for $25-$30. If that is goig to break the bank then I suggest a McDavid hDC shirt for about 1/3 less or some other brand of similar stuff you might catch on sale at local sporting goods. The SOFFE Dri-Fit T shirts are good for the price, ie about 1/3 the price of UA. Russell also makes one for about 1/2 the price of UA. UA is top of the line. If you need top of the line, get one and try it.

DG,

It does get hot in Canada. The difference is not as often and of course, our summers are fairly short.

It can get quite muggy and that's where I believe these garments could help.

To give you an idea of our weather, I live 100 miles from the Maine border, so it's similar to Maine. Our baseball season starts in mid-May and goes to the begining of October. The rest of the year is too cold to play. Yesterday, the temperature was 75 but the Humid Index was about 90.

One thing to keep in mind about Canada, it is a huge country. There is a tremendous difference betweeen the southern parts of Canada as opposed to the Arctic. 90% of Canadians live within a couple of hours of the Americian border.

As far as pricey, an UA shirt was 60$ at a local sport store.

75 would be a mild day around here between Memorial Day and Labor Day. I recommend a McDavid hDC T shirt and McDavid hDC compression shorts with cup pocket if you want to save a few bucks, compared to UA.

Thanks for the comments.

As far as our weather. This week has been in the 80s and 90s and humid. This was the first time this summer that it has been this hot. We may get a few more hot stretches but not much. Thank God because I don't tolerate hot temperatures well. Not used to it.

DG, which part part of the South are you from? I'll make sure not to visit between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

Only 5 days since Memorial Day that the high temp for the day was under 80 degrees and they were all before June 13. In July, 14 of the 23 so far topped in the 90's with the highest day so far of 96 and none below 82. A cold front came through that day, it rained all day and only got to 82. It was 90 the day before and 86 the day after. I imagine it will be like this until late August. August 27 was the hottest of the year last year.
