Kaleb Posted July 14, 2010 Report Posted July 14, 2010 i didnt know exactly know which for forum to put this under, but what would be good for an under suit? what do you all suggest? and where can i find anything? I've noticed some stuff up on ebay, but i dont know what would be the best buy. Quote
FIVE[501st] Posted July 14, 2010 Report Posted July 14, 2010 There's anything from ordering actual "UnderArmour" brand suits, to just going to Target or the like and getting something black and tight fitting. The key things to look for are: Make sure it's black. Make sure it's tight fitting. Make sure it's comfortable. Make sure it's tight fitting. (seriously, people get "saggy" undersuits and that don't look good at all!) But it's totally your choice as to what to get! Quote
TKDUEUNO Posted July 14, 2010 Report Posted July 14, 2010 (edited) I suggest this one. -------- Tight, two way zip, great sweat management, comfortable, cheap. Edited January 28, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote
chaosticbunny Posted July 14, 2010 Report Posted July 14, 2010 Got mine from walmart.com but the compression pants are no longer avail, getting hard to find out of season. Very inexpensive though, although kind snags easily if you have sharp points in your armor. here was my order, Starter - Men's Basic Compression Pants; Color: Rich Black $8.00 Starter - Men's Long-Sleeve Performance Compression Tee $10.00 Quote
NoVATie[Admin] Posted July 14, 2010 Report Posted July 14, 2010 Keep in mind if you go with Under Armour, you may need to cover the logos on the shirt and pants. Quote
bluehickey Posted July 14, 2010 Report Posted July 14, 2010 Keep in mind if you go with Under Armour, you may need to cover the logos on the shirt and pants. Pretty much any under armor knock off brand has similar logos in the same exact spots. Trust me, I own 3 different types of shirts, and I've had to take a Sharpie to all of them. <_< Quote
blueboxer[501st] Posted July 14, 2010 Report Posted July 14, 2010 (edited) I lucked out and found black "BCG" brand compression shirt and pants with no logos at Academy Sports & Outdoors. --------- Edited January 28, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote

chaosticbunny Posted July 14, 2010 Report Posted July 14, 2010 Haha luckily on my cheapo Starter gear the silverish logos just fell right off.

Kaleb Posted July 14, 2010 Author Report Posted July 14, 2010 so, im thinking about getting the two piece and just sewing on the Velcro to make the armor stick better, any other suggestions you guys have Quote
NoVATie[Admin] Posted July 14, 2010 Report Posted July 14, 2010 The two piece is fine, but I think you'll find a strapping system for the armor works better than velcroing the pieces directly to your suit. If you decide to velcro things to the suit, be sure that the soft velcro is what faces in towards your suit, the hook velcro can tear the undersuit. Quote
snoberg Posted July 22, 2010 Report Posted July 22, 2010 I suggest this one. Tight, two way zip, great sweat management, comfortable, cheap. Get this, I did, love it. Quote
JimCem99[501st] Posted August 22, 2010 Report Posted August 22, 2010 I was at Sports Authority last night and was looking at the UA Compression/Heat Gear top and bottom and it doesn't look like a dark black; kind of a faded or dull black, is that what people have? Otherwise I'm thinking of getting a dive suit, which looks really black. Quote
NoVATie[Admin] Posted August 22, 2010 Report Posted August 22, 2010 Mine looks black to me, even after repeated washings. I'd imagine what you saw would be fine, but it's up to you. I'm sure it will look black against the white armor anyway Quote

NoVATie[Admin] Posted August 22, 2010 Report Posted August 22, 2010 That one looks like it will work just fine and the front zipper should come in handy... Quote
RogueTrooper[TK] Posted August 22, 2010 Report Posted August 22, 2010 (edited) Here are some links for good undersuits: ----------- Edited January 28, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote
Jorran Posted August 29, 2010 Report Posted August 29, 2010 I was able to find a black, long-sleeved under armor knock off top yesterday at Target for $14. It works great and the logo won't show. However, the pants were a no-go. They had double gray lines running lengthwise down each leg. For those who have bought two piece suits like this, what brand of pants did you end up with? I can't seem to find an all-black pair that will work. Quote
TK-6162[501st] Posted August 31, 2010 Report Posted August 31, 2010 You can hide Under Armour logos by wearing them inside out. We do this especially with the bottoms. The tops are usually hidden anyways due to being covered Quote

Like this: ------------ And to cover up any small logos, just go to Michaels or any art/craft shop and buy Black Fabric Paint. Fabric paint will stand up to washing and drying.
