Under Armour Armor for my boys....

I started last fall. I worked a D-1 scrimmage on astroturf and had plate first. I saw how fast the ball moved at that level on that surface so when we switched out later in the scrimmage I left my cup on and did not even notice. That particular piece of equipment does not bother me or need adjusting and I don't really know it's there. I can run with no interference or adjustment/re-adjustment so I have started wearing mine. It does not look weird. No one notices. I wear Honig's poly-wool pants and they are amply cut so no bulging, binding, etc.
