As a starving college student, what little money I don't spend on school expenses I spend on the outside of my uniform (i.e. good shirts, shoes, pants, tailoring, etc.) so if I can save 20 bucks on an undershirt that's a great deal for me ![]() |

Sounds as if somebody's trying to compete with UA's cold and heat gear.

Thanks for the info guys. I have under armor shirts already and they have lasted quite well. I was just looking for a shirt that would keep everything a little"tighter" up top! If you know what I mean. Something with some really good compression.

I've been wearing moisture management clothing longer than most -- since 1990 at least -- longer than some companies like UA have even been in business. Longer than virtually anyone has been making a line anywhere close to what they make today. I've worn most brands and while I understand personal tastes are different for everyone, the current Nike Pro line is VERY hard to beat. It isn't very expensive, you can get it at Academy and other stores (likely) in your area, and it isn't a treated fabric like many other brands, including some UA products. It is a form fit, but not a compression like the UA form fit.
I used to wear the UA product, including the UA tactical -- v neck, dark logo, good support. Frankly, the Nike blows it away. The only thing close are a Brooks (running) product and another brand I don't remember the name of that I found in running stores. Incidentally, if you want the best in under garments, from briefs to shirts/tights, those stores are where the best products are. And the people in there are much more knowledgeable than your typical sales person at Academy or even an official's supply. Incidentally, I was getting ready for a football scrimmage back in August and my Nike shirts were still in the laundry room. No problem. I grabbed an older UA shirt I started football with and put it on. Immediately, I felt something weird in the stomach area and instinctively rubbed it. The shirt started "shedding!" As I took it off, half the shirt lost its "outer skin." I was bummed because it was a very comfortable shirt, but obviously had a applied coating of something to it. True, I'd worn and washed that shirt well over 100 times, but I just couldn't imagine that happening. |

Thanks for the information, TX Aggie. I've been using the Wal-Mart brand for compression shorts and have been rather unhappy with their quality. They tend to fall apart literally at the seams after only a season or two. I wash them in cold water and air dry but they just aren't built to last. I will give the Nike's a look.

I'm a fan of Under Armour, especially since I can get it in a V-Neck. It's held up pretty well, I don't use fabric softener and I hang dry them.

In the early 90's I was probably drying the early synthetic clothes with some heat, but that ended way more than 10 years ago. If nothing else, static forced the issue. Plus, around 2002 or so, you could spin them on high in the washer and they'd air dry in 30 minutes or less. My socks are the only things that take longer, for some reason. |

I would add that personally, I like to go with sleeves. I used to do sleeveless undershirts but ended up with pit stains in my stripes. As far as the V-neck, when in Rome as they say. I've heard in certain areas they want the v-neck. In my parts, I've never heard it mentioned.
