I am considering some compression stuff for the cold early season.
Any recommendations/places to buy? What is the best make; Skins, CCC, Under Armour or the cricket manufacturers?
Cheers
-
I heard somewhere that Skins and the Puma ones were the same but Puma were cheaper, but I haven't tested that theory - personally I think the skins shorts/leggings and Underarmour tops are the way to go.
-
underarmour for price methinks!
-
I can sell you a jumper at a very reasonable price, should keep you warm. I have them in cream, bone, white, off-white, ivory or beige :D
Agree with Buzz, the skins leggings look the dogs danglies but they are very expensive. Nike, adidias, puma etc will all do a similar product at a cheaper price.....depends if you want the label or not, as skins are regarded as the top compression brand that i know of.
-
That's mate.. I have plenty of jumpers .. Good player issue numbers.. Surrey, MCC etc
I skins are obv the top of the range.. Will do some investigating
-
So who's doing the best coloured skins at a decent price?
-
Unfortunately Skins are by far the best product on the market and nothing comes close in my opinion and by the other guys i know wear skins they back this up. There are more cheaper alternatives but they unfortunately don't come close to skins, skins are expensive for sure so its a case of whats your budget.

Thanks Rich

Ive always used CCC until recently when I changed to Skins and they are worlds apart, Skins do actually what they are intended to do and compress and support the body . . .superb!!
Obviously they are twice as expensive as any other brand but worth it
-
Ah sorry - I meant who's doing the best price coloured 'baselayers' - actual skins are too expensive for me!
-
underarmour are the best imo, really stop the muscles fatiguing. and keep you nice and warm, i have about 5 pairs of leggings
-
Underarmour are good price-wise, about £20-25 for a top, and I can get 10% discount, which will make it even cheaper!
-
skins are the best defoo i have a white one for cricket
but canterbury i have like 3 for rugby they are amazing for
the price cant beet them
i also use nike leggins for cricket gives me more speed ;)
-
Sub armour are good, got some shorts and leggings and a baselayer, they are good vfm IMO.

if you want some cheap heat/cold gear, Uniqlo is controversially a good place to go. It isn't compression wear, but it will keep you warm/cool (apparently)
