Has anyone used any of the Firstar products, specifically their performance underapparel?

I wear a Firstar undershirt under my gear at hockey and under my shirt at soccer. It is the tight fitting Under Armour type with a mock turtleneck collar and longsleeves.

I like it, my skin feels cooler, It wicks away the sweat and I am not feeling drenched and heavy at the end of my ice/soccer times.

It also has eliminated the chaffing from elbow pads and the torn up velcro and tape holding them together that I would have leaving my arms look like I had escaped a cat fight worse for wear.

I got it a few years ago and has stood up incredibly well through countless trips through the washer and sometimes dryer when my wife beats me to the machines. Still looks new once washed and dry.

The best $70 (approx) I ever spent on hockey equipment/apparel.

It has outlasted many UA, Nike, and RBK undershirts I have tried to incorporate, but alas I only have the one Firstar shirt.

FIRSTAR is going to give UA a run for their money one of these days. Both have great stuff, but Firstar is cheaper. Give this stuff a try and you wont be dissappointed!

Do their compression pants have a cup pocket?

I'm having a bloody nightmare finding ones that do...

As if that matters. WSI has had great stuff for years and is cheaper than UA but UA still kills everyone in sales. They are the perfect example of marketing being more important than product. They don't even market the product, they market lifestyle and image. Will someone eventually surpass UA? Probably, being the coolest product on the market while having essentially the same product as everyone else will only work until someone comes along with a better marketing program.

I use the Itech JP510. One piece with Kevlar sleeves and neck guard, and cup slides in too. Nice setup.
