Over inflated RRP if this is 80% off, has Sports Direct bought another 'brand' so it can churn out poor quality items from a once highly regarded company, think Kerrimor, Everlast, Muddy fox etc.

If you want a base layer that will last years and work well look at Helly Hansen, not the cheapest but good quality.

just don't look down

Thank you. I would never have guessed there would be a better made option for more money elsewhere.

I no longer play football, but can you wear these to make you look thinner?

Great for us out door workers in the cold winter months.

brilliant for the price, ordered 3x wish I had ordered more!!

Mine arrived today. Worth noting a couple of things:

1. If you wear a size large football top normally (Adidas, Nike etc), then this will be an initially snug fit, but it is 100% perfect in sizing as a result.

2. The hem line where the top meets your waist, has a sticky/tacky strip running around the circumference to make sure it adheres to whatever surface it is against (skin, shorts, boxers etc) and not ride up. If you've worn a cycling bib shirt, then you know about the rubbery strip - it's exactly that.

3. The mock neck doesn't come up all that far, but it's about an inch or so above normal t-shirt lines.

There are loads in store in all sizes and colours and being an owner of Nike, Umbro (pre Nike), Decathlon and now Sondico compression tops, I have to say that these are easily up there in terms of quality with Nike.

Nice. Anyone bought 4 skins?

Having owned Nike baselayers in the past I think these are better pound for pound .

Wore one for football tonight, 8 degrees and did the job. Quality item, just as good as my Nike skins.

Thanks. Just tried the aldi compression layer on, interesting feeling. Will try these next!

Just picked up a Sports direct one (I would go at least one size up - arms seem small); it seems fine but thinner and not as good as the aldi / lidl ones, but £3 ish cheaper.

We bought these for my 7 yr old last year for Sunday morning rugby - I paid about £8/9 for each top and trousers.
They aren't thermal but they were warm enough for him and have worn well, still wearing them this season.

Pretty sure the tops are cheaper direct from sondico store. Typical sportsdirect marketing ploy!!

As pointed out - all your life is not always! In 20 years time, you will be looking back on some of today's top brands, wondering WTF happened.
Just off to drive my Saab down to Woolworths for a Cadbury's dairy milk Creme Egg.

I have the aldi ones as well and these are much better. I have been using these for the past few weeks and they have been really good

In store as well, or online only?

Surely the clue is in the name i.e. Sports Direct?

Maybe I'm not old enough but all my life everlast has been worn by people in council houses and muddy fox was sold at tesco and Argos

Say no more

I have an Umbro base layer from SD that is about 10 years old and still going strong - paid this price for it around then as well (when Nike were about £25 a go!). I have ordered a whole stack of these, as they're great for Sunday morning footy, great for getting out on the bike under a MTB bib top, great for wearing under a golf shirt (if you have the mock neck) and great for the gym.

Decathlon have some half-decent bike tops, but I find the large are a bit too small for me and don't wash as well; football compression tops are a better fit for me personally. Thanks OP - voted hot.

INteres

I was just looking at the Aldi cycling compression tops, this might be better quality. How long have you had your ones of these for?

i'm 100% with you on the stupid RRP and reductions.

This.

Good to get feedback on the quality, deffo worth a punt at the price, just Sports Direct selling policies annoy me

Agreed, I had a Muddy Fox mountain bike in the early 90's it cost a fortune at the time and was the dogs ****!

I don't think Everlast was that bad between 1910 and 2000 then the brand was sold on and the rot set in and has got worse since Sports Direct got hold of them in 2007.

Muddy Fox was one of 'The' brands in the 80's for mountain bikes until they were overtaken by myriad others.

I assume you are not old enough, to have witnessed either brand in their prime.

£4.99 for delivery to store, to be reimbursed with a voucher that you can only use in store? I don't think so.

​I think that's what he meant. That these are poor quality and you'll be buying a new set soon

false economy is kind of the opposite, when something is cheap but doesn't last as long you you end up spending more in the long run. I find cheap washing up liquid to be a false economy as it is so watered down you end up using far more than the more expensive ones (to a point) so spend more overall.

7% Quidco hopefully too!

These aren't skins, they're some knock off brand.

Doesn't P&P have to be added ?

Usual Sports Direct pricing b*llsh*t. How they get away with it is beyond me, Didn't we used to have Trading standards that were on top of this sort of stuff?

Cookies on for 50p at Asda. Think i will give this a miss for now.

I no longer play football, but can you wear these to make you look thinner?

RRP price is ridiculous haha Ok for the price now though I guess

might look for some for my son who plays footy on Saturdays. thanks OP!

there is a phrase sometimes used called 'false economy' look it up.

Bought these for my daughter for PE. They're pretty decent.

Is this in store as well?
