Review on TCA Performance Compression Sleeve Thermal Outdoor Recreation and Hiking & Outdoor Recreation Clothing by Josh Sharp

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works as expected, great price, will buy again

I'm a 6ft 4" tall male with a slim build, 42" shirt, 16"/35" chest. I bought a large size and it fits as expected for a compression shirt. The sleeves and torso are quite long and the flat seams and contrast stitching look nice. I bought them mainly to wear under short sleeves and/or to do sports. It's comfortable and warm when worn as a base layer under a jacket or other long sleeve shirt, but alone when not exercising I felt a little colder than it would be/compared to a cotton long sleeve shirt. B. a shirt or "real" thermal underwear, because it is not thick at all. So I'd say it's more of a UA HeatGear competitor than thermal underwear. (It's definitely cheaper than UA.) It helps keep your muscles warm during workouts, wicks sweat, and protects your hands from the sun. I would consider wearing it under ski jackets due to its breathability, but I don't think it will keep you warm in cold weather unless you generate a lot of body heat yourself. The color (dark blue) was exactly the same. I expected and I will buy more.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Not automatic
