I've had lots of different base layers in the past, mostly for playing hockey. Skins are really good. It does all depend what function you want. If it is compression you want you are probably going to have to spend some money.

If it is just to stop your playing shirt irritating you get something cheap. I find most base layers will ride up if you go for the same size as your normal t shirts etc. which isn't ideal if you are batting or keeping. I got an XL (I'm a large) GN base layer which does the job and also never rides up when I'm playing.

Just to add on, I am looking for something that keeps me cool during hot and humid weather. Will the under armour heat gear work for that?

No matter what the marketing says, wearing extra layers of clothing will not make you cool down!

It helps you keep cool, doesn't cool you down.


I have under armour heat and cold gear. You can tell when you put the wrong one on.

I find the tops that are meant to keep you cool don't keep you cool like air conditioning but they don't let you get really hot. I made the mistake of accidentally wearing one in winter and froze to death, well nearly.

The other thing to mention is to look after them when washing. Don't put them in at 40C and then the tumble dryer.

I have the adidas tech fit base layers and love them, haven't tried skins, have subsport and they are ok, also have CYK from off this forum and they are good.
