Undershirts?
 

I'm looking to purchase some new undershirts for the season coming up. I was wondering your thoughts as far as which one to get. Of course the wicking, comfort and durability are a priority. Any thoughts would help.

Thanks.

I prefer the loose fitting U/A shirts; worth the cost, IMO. Anything else and you may as well just get black cotton T-shirts.

Agreed. I have many of those shirts and only use those shirts. I also only wear them once and then wash them. Very durable. And you can get them in the V-neck style which will not show above your shirt.

Peace

I heard that v-necks are "preferred" from a clinician this summer. Never heard that one before... hope they are wearing a v-neck when I watch them work!! Seeing how that was the only feedback I got on my game :rolleyes:

Nice. Looks like I'm going to be doing a lot of watching this year rather than actual officiating. I'll have to make sure and note whether I can see the black.

I used to buy the black for dual purpose; undershirts for my BDUs. Now that we've gone to the ACUs, however, I'm stocked up on black shirts beyond belief.

Are you going to that ABA deal in the Springs tomorrow?

I wear these:

Diamond V-Neck HOTSPORT® Loose Fit Shirt - Black: Ump Attire

I've used the skin-tight ones before, but switched to these this yr. I like the material and find it less confining.

Honig's Whistle Stop - A59 - McDAVID hDc SLEEVELESS V-NECK SHIRT

Plus, I have "the guns" for it......ahem. ;)

Bought my first two last season, great shirts...the loose fit makes them really comfortable. Order two more this week.
Also wear them under my chest protector when umpiring, they do a great job keeping me cooler on hot days.

This year on a short shopping excursion at an outlet mall in IL I stumbled into a Champion store and found some 'dri fit' shirts. WOW, I have used Reebok, UA, Starter and Nike and LOVED these. Don't know what the 'name' is but they appear to be loose fitting but sort of mold to your body. EXCELLENT at wicking away sweat. Wish I would have bought more than 2! Give me an excuse to visit the alma mater next year!

EDITED: It is amazing what you can find on that new GOOGLE thing. So this is what they were. They were cheaperr at the outlet. Double Dry Vented Seamless.

While he certainly should have come up with more for you, I think it looks really sloppy to see an undershirt sticking out of the collar and/or sleeves (worse than the collar)....and non-V-neck undershirts usually do show.

I wear these - you can see why. I probably should wear two or three of them.
 

Do you still beat your wife?
 

If you want compression type undershirts and don't want to break the bank, Wal-Mart sell compression shirts/shorts by Starter for $10 each. In my experience they perform just as well as the more expensive UA, Nike, etc.

Walmart.com: Search Results for "starter compression"

But do they have them in V-neck (and your link is not working to tell). If not then I would rather pay more money to have something that does not show. BTW, I have not had to buy many of these shirts over the years. So it is worth the money. Then again I invest my officiating money back into my officiating. It is not that big of a deal to pay a little more to get quality.

Peace
