Tiepilot1138[TK] Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Someone had mentioned that Dick's sporting goods stocks a cheaper alternative to underarmor. Does anyone know if these would work? http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/...oductId=2250781 or http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/...oductId=2246877 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just bought a few sets of "under armor" there for I believe $15 a piece (top and bottoms are separate). The brand is called Rocky and they come in a clamshell like package.

Tiepilot1138[TK] Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 I just came from one, and was at a different one yesterday. I couldn't find anything. Maybe they cleared out since stores seem to think winter is over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiepilot1138[TK] Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I found a pair of pants at Modell's today. I think they are the right thing. I think they are for warmer weather, and were called "cycling" pants (but didn't have the padded crotch). They are single layer, shiny fabric that seem to fit skin tight. I couldn't see through them when I tried them on. They were marked $22, but had a small hole in them. Since they were the only pair left the manager gave them to be for $10. Does this sound like the right stuff? Now what do I do with them? Will velcro be stitched to them? I haven't placed the order for my FX suit yet, so I don't have instructions. I saw that the velcro is adhesive, but I can't see just sticking it to them would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThayNerd[TK] Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 What you bought should be fine. You shouldn't need to put any velcro on the suit it will be more for the armor seams and parts of the strapping system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 easiest way to tell if you have the right stuff: 1. Put it on 2. Look in mirror 3. Is it solid black and skin tight? 3a. "Yes"- congratulations its the right stuff 3b. "No" - Keep shopping for something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smitty Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Your undersuit shouldnt be supporting any weight at all. I use separate piece top and bottom cotton spandex blend. Nothing attaches to the under suit at all. I think I have about $30 wrapped up in my undersuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chunk[501st] Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 HI, Walmart has an off brand of under armor. It's called "Athletic Works" for under $10 a peice. I wear this under my "real" body armor. It is very cool & dries super fast. Great for those troops in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
