Eastbay Compression Top/Bottom First Impressions

[craig225[TK]]

An excellent buy - even if the postage to Aust is more expensive than the gear. I've been trooping in these for about 6mths and couldn't be happier with them.

I just placed my order. Thanks for posting this thread and bump up for others that are looking.

Bought a 2nd set yesterday after reading this. I bought a set back in November or December for the same price. Can't beat it! The price rocks and the sizing, durability and comfort are top notch!

I first went looking for UA, then I saw a thread about eastbay. Very happy with my choice. I was in my armor for an hour and a half on a +25 Celsius day and I felt every breeze. Felt really good. Highly recommend.

Thanks to this thread I just ordered a top and a bottom for a total of 29.99 with free shipping.

 

Can't beat that!

 

They are probably thinking WTH is with all the compression orders??

 

lol

 

lmao I thought the same thing after reading through this thread.

Hello!

 

I've got a very newbie question, and I hope I did my research correctly before posting.

 

The Eastbay suit that people are talking about is:

I'm really thankful for the FISD! All these threads are very helpful for people starting out like me! I just hope one day I can be the question answer-er, rather than the question ask-er all the time.

You've got the right ones that I have ordered. I haven't trooped in them yet but after trying them on I am sure they will work as great as everyone has said.

 

As far as the crew neck vs. mock neck? I am sure that it's just a personal preference. Your neck seal will (should?) have a bib on it from the research I have found so a crew neck being lower shouldn't be an issue. Maybe someone will disagree?

Just curious.... Anyone know of a Canadian supplier of something similar to this under armor? If I can save on shipping and duty fees I'd like to try

[bigironvault]

Crew neck is better. A mock neck will sit under your neck seal and throw that measurement off. Besides it's already hot enough around the neck you don't want another thing around it.

I just ordered a couple of pairs. My Under Armor is OK, but with trooping so much in Florida, I figured its good to have extras.

_{The Two for $30 special is going on, picking up a set now. How light is the standard version? Looking at maybe getting the Cold weather version for winter here in Colorado.}

If sizing is an issue for anyone, they have a great easy return system. Truly a great find and deal as far as I'm concerned. Plus one of the few things you can figure out before your build

[Darth Aloha[Admin]]

I got mine yesterday... and they are the longest garment of this kind. The torso is nice and long and my ankles are well covered.

 

I purchased the large top and it fits fine (I'm actually a size large tall t-shirt but you wouldn't know it by looking at me) but I could have gone XL and had come down past my waist even further. Most of the shirts I own are belly shirts.

 

However... I always feel like Gehardt (aka Wash!) from "28 Days" when I put on my undersuit (sorry this was the only clip of this scene I could find):

Eric, you gotta have your belly button pierced if you're going to wear belly shirts!!!

[TK Keith[TK]]

Order complete. I went with the Mock neck vs the Crew neck for the top.

 

I dont think I notice this option, and now I am not too fond of my crew neck.

[Geaux Saints[TK]]

Their sizing chart is pretty spot on. It was saying I was a large and I just thought that wasn't right. I ordered the medium. I wasn't COMPLETELY happy with it, so I ordered the large. It fits more comfortably. I kept both sets though just in case I needed a back up.

[Darth Voorhees[501st]]

My 1 piece was shot after 4yrs of trooping and i heard only good things about this set, so i ordered it. havenmt trooped in it yet, but its comfy and i really like it.

[Trooper328]

had my first troop in the eastbay yesterday. Defn bang for your bucks!

[Spectre]

How do they compare to the stormtrooperundersuit.com (a.k.a extreme racing) ones? My ER has a few holes starting to show...and the sleeves always like to pull up my arms and make it really uncomfortable.

 

Would one l these sets be better?

Mine are really comfortable, but I don't know how they compare to what you're asking about. At the price they cost, it's pretty cheap to find out.

[Spectre]

I guess that's a good point. My current undershirt is starting to get a big skanky haha

With all of the good reviews I've read here I don't have much to lose I suppose.

I think you will be very satisfied with it. If not, you can return it or keep it and not be out a lot of money. By the way, their sizing chart is pretty accurate.

[rhapsodyred99[TK]]

I have a top and bottom, and they are really comfortable.

 

Be warned though that a camera flash will see through them:

You can see my boxers there! They were not visible until the flash went off
