does anybody else feel like they are in a straight jacket wearing them????

Yesterday, compression top, shirt, jumper, waterproof jacket.
No wonder I was swinging like a mad axe murderer...
:mad:

Maybe I'm just looking for excuses???

I've not worn my UA compression tops since buying a load of Campri short & long sleeved thermal base layers (vests) from Direct Sports in the sales. They are light, comfortable and more importantly, keep me warm, I've now even got a couple of pairs of long-johns to go with them, great under my waterproof bottoms and less restrictive than wearing my golf trousers underneath or shorts and feeling cold!

I honestly can't recommend them highly enough and still on sale now here, follow the link and then select Campri in the manufacturers list on the left, under £5 for tops and under £4 for long-johns :eek:

Wear them all winter

Fit very well and keep me very warm

If they are too constrictive then would recommend a size bigger

They are supposed to be tight but not too tight
 
I've got a a nike and a UnderArmour top. Really good in the winter providing you don't layer up too much. I find I just need the compression top, shirt and then maybe some loose fitting wind top is plenty to keep me warm even wen it is down around zero.

If I know it's going to be wet then I usually don't wear one as I know I'll have a waterproof jacket on which will be plenty warm enough.
 
I've been wearing one for golf for most of the winter. I have been playing with up to 4 layers on when it's cold, and I don't really find it particularly restrictive.

Plus, when I wear my black UnderArmour, I look like a secret agent about infiltrate the bad guy's hideout. Therefore, they're totally super cool.
