<acronym title='Ump-Attire.com'>UA</acronym> Leggings

[T-Rav]

I spoke with UA and their UA Heatgear core ventilated leggings will not be in-stock until late June early July at best. I currently wear McDavid hexpad tights that are starting to fray after 2 seasons and am looking for some replacements- I heard the core ventilated leggings are great but are they worth waiting for since the regular heatgear leggings are in stock?

I wear the Shock Doctor leggings that come with the bio-flex cup .....I have 2 pair that I rotate ...they're great!

[JacksFan]

Are the shock doctor leggings warm or are they pretty unnoticable? I'm looking for some leggings but am looking for something for summer wear, and I'm a pretty big fan of shock doctor gear.

[Thunderheads]

I've worn them for the last 3 years ...cold and warm! Like buttah!

[Umpire in Chief]

I have the Shock Doctor too and love them, but I still would not recommend using the internal cup pocket. I wear my cup in a jock outside the tights.

[GerryB]

I prefer the jock outside the pocket as well; with the SD is the empty pocket noticable with the cup outside?

[Umpire in Chief]

No, it's part of the pants. Which I believe makes it impracticable for use.

I bought 2 pair of tights/leggings at Wal-Mart last year. "Body Glove" el cheapos that cost like $18 a pair but they provide good compression and have held up well. They have worked out great, I wear them every game for bases or plate. On the few occasions I have not worn them it feels very weird. The only thing I've noticed is that I have to pull my socks over the tights or my shin guards have a tendency to slide down.

I normally wear compression shorts, a jock/cup over the shorts and then tights over everything.

I wear UA tights as well. They are terrific. It took me a while to understand that even on a warm day they pull the sweat off your body keeping you cool. Also, you dont have that giant sweat stain that makes you look like you have a urinary issue (LOL)! And when you wear leggings your shin guards feel like they are not even there.BUt i have yet to try the core ventilated leggings. I might just make that purchase. I believe they are a bit cooler than regular leggings.

Balls and strikes baby!!!!

T-Rav , i have the UA core ventilated leggings . I bought them recently , based on a post by another (kevin finnerty) in the group . they seem to be well made and keep me very comfortable , and they are compression designed with a very wide waist band . I haven't worn them in any very hot weather yet . I also own McDavid compression leggings , which i have been wearing for about 9 months now . i did wear (McDavid) late last summer in some hot weather , and didn't seem to be hot or uncomfortable . I will say that the McDavid are a much tighter compression fitting design than the UA . The UA materials are very comfortable against the skin . time will tell how they wear going forward though ? The UA are worth waiting for IMO .

Thanks, I'll wait until next season to pick them up.

I'm using McDavid for years. Worn and washed at least 100 times. They are great. I only wished they didn't discontinue the HEX Protection pants.

Over 18 months...We may have a new record, here, folks !
