Under Armour ®

I have heard people talk about this stuff here.  I went to the web site...looks good.  In layman terms could someone explain why it is go good?  How tight should the shirt be?  What is better to have, the shirt or pants?  Do most sporting good stores have it?  Thanks, Brian

I want some so all my flab doesn't flap everywhere when I'm out in public and doing things in general. Kind of like a man-girdle lmao

I don't know how to explain it in layman terms or scientific terms but, I do know I have some and  it is great stuff. Heat gear in the summer and cold gear in the winter. 

I use the compression shorts and the sleeved and sleeveless tops.  I usually buy them a size smaller than my normal size too.   Basically, for me, they keep everything where it's supposed to be as opposed to flopping around.

(hijack)  Paul .. where's your usual pic?   is a new one in the works???

In addition to the Lycra or Spandex Underarmour is made of Nylor as opposed to cotton. Nylor wicks moisture and evaporates it quickly where cotton tends to hold the moisture in. 

You might also check out Coolmax clothing. They are 21% Spandex. 

 Some fellas use/wear it and are happy, I don't, and wouldn't be.   For one thing I don't like to feel "confined" after shedding all this weight finally (do they even make them in 250+ lb. sizes for guys that want to wear them?) ..  Too many flashbacks of the pre-op me and too-tight clothes, I guess ..   And it''s just more stuff to have to put on, take off, and wash each day (not "bachelor- friendly" - lol) ..  Plus, it's hot enough too already this summer  - ugh!       Moreover, I'm a "what you  see is what you get" kinda guy  ..  I compare it to a gal wearing a push-up bra, a wig, or a girdle ..  Imagine how a prospective mate must feel seeing a guy start taking all that stuff off and the extra skin come out when the "important time" finally comes ..   I don't think it would make for an erotic striptease, exactly ..   &:-/)   They're going to find out sooner or later what the real scoop is, so might as well let them know up front, and if they can't handle it, so much the better to know that beforehand and a lot of time is wasted and money spent on them ..   The real solution, IMHO, is PS ...  just have to save my pennies and get it done, a.s.a.p.  ..  !
