UK Amazon has some good UA tops, but it's expensive, I've bought direct of UA USA before, and this place.

My US mate gets them for me and I sort her out with cash.

Never looked at CHina, I was fearful of the quality. YOu buy off there regularly?
Not regularly regularly but ive got a punisher blue skull, winter soldier and a captain americe comic book style (ie feathers). Ive got a few UA ones but only one proper compression top from them. The UA one, now i might have shrunk it in the wash, but i find the armpit seam digs in when wearing it which i dont get with the Chinese ones. How the Chinese ones would stand up to a 40 deg wash i dont know but i find them ok.

They also seem to wick the sweat away just as well as the branded ones i have. i wouldnt be able to wear a t-shirt in the gym as i get quite warm and sweat quite alot sometimes

You just need to make sure what size they are going to send you as i ordered xxl once as they only showed Asian fit and they sent me xxl Western fit, that and the delivery can take a couple of weeks. Im going to order some long sleeve ones though as at £6 or so, cant complain.

I can actually add to these shenanigans from a few minutes ago.

I entered the changing room about half an hour ago to get my belongings and leave. Two guys in there. One of them had his phone on a tripod on the floor, he then sat on a bench as the phone beeped its countdown, and proceeded With a serious look, whilst holding his index finger up in the air. This took about five attempts. . .

PureGym.
This made me laugh aloud!!

Some people!!
Just walk in front of the camera next time, on your way back from the shower, and moon it.
or offer to take the photo, and switch to selfie mode.
So, finished my session earlier with a few quick shoulder dislocates in the studio, literally 5mins before closing, and Puregym close on time! Cameraphone Boy was in there doing whatever (yeah his tripod was on the floor), out of the corner of my eye he starts walking towards the equipment rack, I'm in the way so shuffle back a few meters so he can get to it.

Nope. . . he waits till I make eye contact and then asks me if I don't mind videoing him on his phone?



<looks at watch>

"Sorry mate, gym's about to close, I'm afraid I don't have the time, sorry!"

Pah!

Yep, Westminster Council for you!

06:30 - 10:00 and 08:00 - 20:00 w/e. They were hoping to get 24hr opening passed but I imagine some of the attached residents and locals had a say in the matter. I really couldn't see it being busy at all overnight but anyhoo. . .

. . . tripod and camera set up at the entrance of the showers! Admittedly an empty changing room. Strange!

he must have a vlog/youtube channel if he's going to this much effort. I'm very curious. I don't know that many british fitness youtubers apart from maybe The Lean Machines.

I ordered a DragonBall Z long sleeve one at the start of November and turned up after 14 days (think customs pulled it as it came in a different package unless they have a distribution place here). Anyway, ordered the shirt 2 sizes up on the short sleeve as they more compression fit than tight sports fit (ordered larger as you know gym bod shape and this stuffs designed for gm dodgers it seems), and its turned up way to baggy. So ill order one size down for another long sleeve one or maybe just my actual size.

This one features Coolmax (whatever that is) but again, quality seems fine and it cost £6.50. Sports Direct had some Marvel ones (made by Sondico but look like the UA) for about £10 or so. UA start at £25

Thats what im doing, im ordering one from them to find out the sizing and then take it from there. Ill get another one in the next size down and see what thats like.

Few of the trainers at the gym took the piss out of this one i wore last night:


But i ignore them on gym fashion as they wear gym shark style clothing

Rightly so^

on the subject of DBZ clothing, have any of you ordered from justsaiyan gear?

Definately want to get some of the armour tank tops, but I'm still overweight so will wait until I've lost it first. Don't think I'd wear it to a gym either cos I think you'd just look like a spanner.
