Review on Red Plume Quick-Dry Sports T-Shirt for Men - Compression Tights Fitness Shirt, Ideal for Casual & Fitness Activities by Ryan Saxton

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Poor logo placement

Compression shirts are thin and tight. If you have real Under Armor Superhero Compression t-shirts you will immediately feel the difference as UA Compression t-shirts are much thicker and of better quality. But for half the price of the Under Armor version, you're not really complaining about that. And if that was the only one I would definitely keep it as I have seen many other superhero imitations that look way worse than this one. I have an issue where I can't help but notice the logo. The Superman logo on the chest is almost 1 inch to the left. You can see it by looking straight at the shirt. And when you put it on, you immediately notice it, because the logo is almost under the left armpit. It looks like you're walking around in an obscenely cheap fake. I took it off as soon as I looked at myself in the mirror. This is poor quality control. The only reason it hasn't been returned yet is that I'm locked in the house due to the corona virus. Now if you can get one that has the logo perfectly centered on it, you'll be happy. But I've found that getting the logo centered is a PERMANENT problem with these cheaper companies. Almost always too high or too low. This one took him to the next level as he was the first one who couldn't even keep him centered. As for me, I'm sticking with Under Armor from now on, fuck the price. This is for someone else but I had already returned the t-shirt by the time I read her email. I upped my rating for their product, partly because they were willing to try and please me. And second, because I discovered that Under Armor had stopped selling all of their Alter Ego t-shirts on their website, and the lowest price I found for one (here at Revain, no less) was $70. I was willing to pay $36. But $70? Please! This makes the red feather t-shirt a much more viable alternative, but remember that they and all other companies like them (I've bought about 4 or 5 different styles of superhero t-shirts from different companies) and all they seem there is an endless problem with placing the logo in the middle where it should be. (At least the Red Plume shirt looks much better in quality, although it's still very thin and not a true compression shirt.) But without a doubt, dispensing with any shirts that didn't have the logo perfectly centered would have increased production costs significantly. So like my mom used to tell me growing up, you get what you pay for your son.

Pros
  • Underwear and compression stockings
Cons
  • Long delivery times
