FINALLY — a suitable replacement for the original UA compression tops and the Starter Compression Gear that Walmart Discontinued years ago. This top is amazing, it’s true compression unlike many that are currently on the market — and I’ve tried a lot of them. I slipped this guy on and immediately ordered five more without skipping a beat. UA’s quality on their compression gear has really slipped over the years and I was hugely disappointed when Walmart and Starter pulled the plug on their joint line about 5-6 years ago. My collection had been getting rattier and I had to essentially learn to sew on my wife’s machine to keep them chugging along for workout and sometimes everyday gear.If you’re looking for something that feels like the old stuff, you’ve found it. I’ve only tried the black, so I can’t speak for the other colors (in my experience, it can vary a bit — especially for grey) but I could definitely see myself buying 5-10 more soon and finally letting go of my starter gear. The XL fits exactly how I expected and the no slip waistband is awesome, and isn’t something you typically see on the compression gear for less than $100. 12/10 rating — I can’t say enough how happy I am with this purchase.
