it's still got the heel cut out, but it's spandex as opposed to lace up. i'm pretty sure all ankle braces are gonna have the heel cut out, as it's just a standard way to make them.

I'd disagree with that, I'm 6'1 and they are fine length-wise on me.
Then my friend either you have no traps OR I have more of a gut situation than I wanna admit to myself:p
No but seriously u gotta do the "picard manoeuver" every 3 seconds with them bad boys
yea Case is a trek geek, should that surprise anyone!!!

I did use to have that problem I admit but I just tuck the shirt into the pro vent shorts I also wear. Problem solved :)

Mine never really ride up.
I sometimes tuck them into my skins, but half the time i have my provent over my skins tucked into my shorts.
Whenever you are buying compression garmets. You are meant to opt for the smaller size if you are between sizes apparently.
I do wish that Nike did a wider range of colours though.

I don't care much for the colours. Black and white seem fine to me. I guess sometimes you want them to match your kit, but i stopped caring about that a while ago.

In the league that i play in provents HAVE to match your kit or you arent allowed to wear them.
Gareth, I wear the long skins which is the same and your shorts over the top don't ride up at all. You'll be fine. I'm planning on getting a pair of the cycling short skins for the summer.

Ooooh, i see how that's a problem. I may have to wait out and see what the new league rules will be this season as i'm not sure what level of footy i will be playing

It tends to be the higher up in the leagues you play in the more strict they are regarding things like that.

I don't remember if they cared in the last league i played for. My home kit was white and my compression shirt was white and short sleeve so it never showed. My compression shorts were white and so were the clubs shorts.
Maybe i just got lucky

Having worn both Skins and Nike Pro I think that there really isn't much point in having skins unless you do have a bad problem or have the cash lying around. For general training nike does the job for me... but this is only my experience.

i recently ordered the UA heatgear longsleeve crewneck layer.
itll probz be arriving in a wk
anyone of u had any experience of these compared to nike pro ones.?
which company has worked best in ur opinions?
Case
22 Mar 2008, 09:36 PM
said it a million times, so much so some may be suspicious im on payroll, but to me hands down UA is the better option as they have more length and don't ride up as the old nike pro certainly did. Saying that I dunno why anyone would want a crewneck longsleeve HEATGEAR!!!!!
dunno how plugging websites goes down around hear, but for UA in the UK I found this site http://www.epsports.co.uk/ which seems to have the newer range products at competitive prices...

Well not especially, our top league has like 50 teams and is strictly amateur at the moment. On top of that we got like 100 uni teams, but then the standard slips another notch or so.
The guy that runs that site is a player in the league, so kinda alterior motive I guess, but still those prices are comparable to what I pay from the states, without the hassle of overseas shipping, and ALOT better than the inflated UK prices for UA u get in high street retailers and even other UK based websites...Are we talking Big Ron in the thread title I guess!
