Kobe 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2004 It costs just as much as all the nike dry-fit stuff. They both do the same thing so decide for yourself which you want to buy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slapper_snipper_73 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2004 The nike dry fit stuff looks really good and looks like it works good i think ill go to my LHS and get a good look and try this on this stuff.... Thanks:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mack 44 Report post Posted May 23, 2004 It works but if the price is too much there are quite a few alternatives since everyone and their brother has started making those kinds of shirts. Some places may have the older Nike dri-fits reduced so you could try a Sports Authority or Academy sports. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR Boucicaut 3804 Report post Posted May 23, 2004 I like the WSI for breathability/wicking, however I've been using UA Cold exclusively since January. It keeps me warm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 2048 Report post Posted May 23, 2004 Staying warm during games? Damn, that's insane. The rink I'm skating in now is hot as hell. You sweat buckets just sitting on the bench. Kind of funny b/c the other rink I played in this year had lockers that felt like you were getting dressed outside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duckjob 1 Report post Posted May 23, 2004 I've been using the WSI long sleeve under shirt for the last 3 months and its been great. Keeps me at normal body temp. I'm not hot, but i'm not drenched in sweat freezing either. So, it was definatley worth the money. I think i paid $40 for it, but like others mentioned, the market seems to be getting much for competetive for under gear, so you can probably find something cheaper.

GTHL_AAA_HOCKEY 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2004 I use Nike dri-fit, its real cheaper too. If you have a nike outlet close to you, go there. they always clear the dri-fit stuff for like 10 bucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR Boucicaut 3804 Report post Posted May 23, 2004 Really?I may want to go down to some of the outlet stores here and check it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mack 44 Report post Posted May 23, 2004 The "outlet" stores here are usually just luring tourists in to buy overpriced old crap. They're maybe $5 cheaper than what a regular store would charge. Unless you're looking for that rare K-State hat or an old Mars Blackmon shirt it's just not worth it to go to them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jay 1 Report post Posted May 23, 2004 I thought I'd drop in the local Nike outlet to look for some Dri-Fit once and it was acutally more expensive then the online price by $5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kosydar 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2004 NikeTown is killer, too bad they don't have hockey in the one up in Portland. However, the employee store up in Portland is sick, I got to go there a few years ago, right when Nike was starting up with hockey and I got a Russian Olympic jersey for like $10, and the new Nike skates, the white ones (I forget what they were called) were only like $100.

blackhawks4ever 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2004 I switched for a long sleeve cotton t shirt to the loose fit long sleeve Under Armour about a year ago . By the end of a game the cotton shirt would weigh a ton because of all the sweat it absorbed. The Under Armour is always dry. It holds up well too.I also have a pair of Nike dry fit pants that I wear instead of socks when I play goalie. It's the same material. Find the best priced brand and go with it. What I am surprised with is the durability of the material. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
