Compression tops
« on: December 17, 2023, 11:30:32 AM »
I have an old skins compression top from approx 10 years ago wanted to update this but noticed skins seems to be a different company now - does anyone have any experience of the new compression tops?

Alternatively can anyone recommend a really decent quality alternative?

I have used under armour a lot (work and sport). Very hard-wearing and very good.

I have an Under Armour one I also wear for running in winter, really like it. I spent a brief time using Kookaburra compression sleeves with elbow padding when I fielded close to the wicket more regularly. I do mid-off to fine leg these days though, so my compression top is for warmth rather than anything else.

Do you want a genuine compression top or a Baselayer?

The under armour Base layers are good

The Adidas compression tops are also good.

I do think the cheap ones aren't any good.
