DSU24 Posted July 5, 2016 Report Posted July 5, 2016 Good Day Everyone! It's been awhile that I haven't opened my account here in FISD. I just want to know what is best to wear within the TK Armor? Is Under Armor okay? or should I buy other under suits for the TK Armor? Thank you... Quote
Pretzel Posted July 5, 2016 Report Posted July 5, 2016 Under Armor is fine. It really is up to the trooper. We all have a preference, but as long as no visible logos are seen, and it's black.. you are good to go. 1 Quote
mgb1016[501st] Posted July 5, 2016 Report Posted July 5, 2016 I have two sets--black satin thermal underwear for cold weather troops, and a Champion workout/yoga set for warmer weather. Got them at Walmart and Target. 2 Quote

DK5IDE[TK] Posted July 5, 2016 Report Posted July 5, 2016 Whatever underoos you end up getting, don't forget to wash them several times before suiting up, as some can transfer the black dyes to your armor when they come in contact and rub against it. Especially in areas that aren't polished. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
ARC[TK] Posted July 5, 2016 Report Posted July 5, 2016 I bought Nike compression wear from their online store. I expected it to be fairly expensive considering how much I've seen other brands for in stores. But the Nike gear was cheap in comparison. IIRC it was Nike Pro Cool or Hypercool, One logo on the left shin and one on the left chest/brest area all covered by armour. Good thing is they stock it in both AU and US online stores. I actually found it hard to find anything close to just plain black, a lot of deptartment/sports stores all had them with coloured graphics and stuff all over them. Most of the time anything close to what would be acceptable was near the $100 mark or more just for a top or bottom. My Nike top and bottom I got delivered to my door next day for like $70 or so, So i was pretty chuffed about that. 1 Quote
Strength Posted July 5, 2016 Report Posted July 5, 2016 I grabbed an A4 Men's Compression Crew Long Sleeved Shirt and Baleaf Men's Running Fitness Workout Compression Base Layer Tights. Grabbed a size larger to make sure they weren't see-through. Work well for me, no logos i can't hide ("belt" on the pants is covered by the shirt), breathes pretty good, and affordable.

russellr2d2[TK] Posted July 6, 2016 Report Posted July 6, 2016 I got Eastbay real cheap. The shirt is real nice. You want a heavier weight fabric not a leotard. The pants are nice except they have white stitching that I have to occasionally rub with a black sharpie but the whole get up was something like $30.00. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
TK-16845 Posted July 6, 2016 Report Posted July 6, 2016 I ended up getting an undersuit from stormtrooper undersuit and will say its awesome. Im 5'9" and 155 lbs and the XL fit me perfectly. I was gonna go for a 2 piece but wasnt sure how it would look and I like the idea of the one piece with a zipper Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote
aliens8us Posted July 7, 2016 Report Posted July 7, 2016 I wear Hanes/fruit of the Loom in the Spring and Summer, which was less than $20. In the Fall and winter, I use UnderArmor Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
pewpewpew[TK] Posted July 17, 2016 Report Posted July 17, 2016 I just got a really big black full body tattoo. <br> (Okay, that might not be true...) Quote
aintrabar[TK] Posted July 17, 2016 Report Posted July 17, 2016 Under Armour.. but i might be biased since i work for Under Armour.. hehehe 1 Quote
Rocket Posted September 12, 2016 Report Posted September 12, 2016 Under Armour.. but i might be biased since i work for Under Armour.. hehehe Which one, specifically? I'm trying to decide what's best. Quote
kman[TK] Posted September 13, 2016 Report Posted September 13, 2016 Which one, specifically? I'm trying to decide what's best. Depends on if you troop in high temps or low temps. If both, you may need more than one type. Most seem to go for the compression suits: Heat Gear or Cold Gear. Just have to get rid of the unfortunately placed logo (which isn't all that difficult).

My friend has a hook up at the Nike store so I'm looking at 40% off. Edited September 14, 2016 by Z0M3E Quote
TK11369[TK] Posted September 14, 2016 Report Posted September 14, 2016 I purchased a suit from Extreme racing. It s a cotton/Lycra blend and keeps me cool on those hot days. I like it because it is one piece so I don't have to worry about a shirt riding up. Quote
kman[TK] Posted September 14, 2016 Report Posted September 14, 2016 (edited) Renaissance Dancewear also makes excellent undersuits. ------------ Edited July 27, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote
