Undersuit...one part? Two parts? Preferred sellers? Pros/Cons?

[batninja]

I remember from a few years ago, the acceptable undersuit was simply a one-piece, black Lycra danceskin.   I know that several manufacturers now sell two-piece options, a la UnderArmor, and others now include zippers, and fabric options for different climates.

 

Is there a 'standard' now for undersuits?   Do any of you have recommendations on them?   Zippers, warm weather vs. cold weather, year-round, etc.?   Favorite sellers?

the standard now is eastbay. i prefer the mock neck as i dont use a neckseal:------------

the shirt and pant combo is often on sale both for $24.99-29.99

 

the cold weather version doesnt matter much unless your troops are consistantly cold areas, its hot enough in the armor anyway.

 

NOTE: to existing troopers with eastbay compression pants, they have discontinued the all black pants, the new ones are 2.0 (tights) and have white stitching near the groin which may be visible, nothing a black sharpie/felt pen cant fix.

2 part compression works well for me, easy toilet access too

FYI....the Eastbay top/bottoms are on sale right now!

Agree with Glen, 2 piece is the way to go.

I just bought some Reebok compression pants from Dick's that are pretty nice. The only problem is the Reebok logo on the left knee that I had to sharpie over.

Are these the preferred pants? They seem to have too many visible seams.

I bought Russell Athletic compression top and bottoms from Amazon. Only a small logo on the chest, and solid black everywhere else. Price was better than east bay and free shipping.

Is there a standard go-to for a 1 piece?

 

I am ROTJ and have open sides.  I'm pretty sure the band would be showing on anything 2-piece.  That or my love handles if the two pieces come apart.

 

Thanks.

I use the East Bay in colder weather.  For indoors and warmer weather I wear a one piece Lycra wetsuit that I have a tailor put an extra zipper in.

I just picked up some compression pants and shirt from Dunhams! It's Aeroline brand. It's not as thick as underarmor, but it's all black without and light stitching. Picked up the pair for 37 dollars. Just thought I'd give anyone a heads up if anyone is looking

I got an eastbay shirt. The chest fits awsome bit I have BIG chest.. lttile arms so the sleeves are still loose on me. Need to take my surger to 'em

[StormTroopa]

For those UK based. Sports Direct have loads suitible. Just type Base Layer into their search.

[Sly11[Admin]]

eBay also has loads of cheap compression gear.

Used to use Underarmor heatgear, it was all black except the logo which was behind the thigh plate anyways.  But now their new heatgear pants have big white waist band that is hard to hide so looking for replacement as my UA is getting kinda beat up

[eddieharr]

I am looking for the undersuit as well. I also saw Eastbay and was worried about the pants. Has anyone bought them? Do they know they will work? I dont want to buy something only to return it.

 

Also, if you have something you have bought and know it works can you please link to it? Thanks!

[TK-1287]

I buy these, they work perfect.

First time I've heard of that site. The under-suits look fine, if you want a one-piece. Price isn't bad, but I'm not sure how much compression shirts/pants go for in the UK. I got mine for about $30 on Amazon.

 

The neck seals look ok, but the backs might not be high enough. If you look at a Darman neck seal you'll see it goes up pretty high in the back; which ensures no skin or hair is visible with your helmet on.
