darthgrace Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 I got a set of under armor compresion pants and shirt. Is this what everyone is using or are you wearing the fitted version instead? Do I want this skin tight or just snug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 comfort is the key. all you don't want are wrinkles and sagging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthgrace Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 so my grandmother can't be a TK or TD, got it. Thanks for the help. Sounds like I need the compression and not the fitted as the fitted would have some wrinkling/sagging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananoPower22[TK] Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 check out "houseofscuba" on ebay. i got my undersuit off there, it's really really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-3425 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) My under suit is a 1 piece lycra dive skin, cost about $30 bucks at the local dive shop. Some people like two piece, some like one. Mine is pretty snug fit. As mentioned previously, no sagging, baggy pants etc. Edited February 8, 2012 by Trooper324 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john danter Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 I use a balleriana catsuit. Skin tight and black and shiney, like the films. I feel motorcycle underwear etc isn't tight enough and bunches on the elbows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksideemt Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Eastbay.com has good stuff way cheaper then UA. Just get their compression stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X[TK] Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 As stated, comfort is key. I have the scuba undersuit, and the Underarmor compression pants and top. I prefer the UA since it's easier to take a bio-break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar McNeer Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 I think I'm going to have to get in on that EastBay offer... thats pretty inexpensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananoPower22[TK] Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) It'd be easier to just get a one piece suit. Like a leotard or something.

I just wanted to get something that was easier to work with for "Bio" breaks.

RogueTrooper[TK] Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) I use extreme racing: ----------- Very nice, and stays snug. Manufactured using extreme racing cotton & lycra blended fabric for enhanced moisture management and thermal protection. Our fabric reacts to all kinds of different conditions, from excessive heat to extreme cold. In warm weather, perspiration is removed from the skin surface keeping the wearer cool, conversely in cold conditions the natural thermal properties of the fabric allow heat to be retained. Should excess heat occur, the fabric disperses it in the usual manner. Two way zip for easy toilet trips!

daennika Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 I have the Extreme Racing suit which I have used a couple of times, but it sags and wrinkles at my armpits and elbows! So now I've been very lucky with my local supermarket that sold no-name-brand lycra undergarments for the winter, long sleeve shirt and pants, skin-tight and no markings or logos. They were also super cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
