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. :P

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. :smiley-sw013:

 

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?

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.

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 :)

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):

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.

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.

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.

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 :smiley-sw013::D:laugh1:
