batninja Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyStormtrooper[501st] Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) 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.

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 2 part compression works well for me, easy toilet access too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly11[Admin] Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Agree with Glen, 2 piece is the way to go. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheArchdude[TK] Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byoda Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) Are these the preferred pants? They seem to have too many visible seams. -------------- Edited January 31, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chills[TK] Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSmails[501st] Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-7186[TK] Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 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. http://www.wetsuitwearhouse.com/page/WW/666-S807UF02#.VMBtQnx0zcc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilmaan[TK] Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly11[Admin] Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 eBay also has loads of cheap compression gear. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerKraken[TK] Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddieharr Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 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!

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.
