Review on ATHLIO AO BLS01 WHT_Large Compression Baselayer Athletic by Vince Preston

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for spring/fall water sports, good as UV protection panties

I've tried them 3 times in just a few weeks of buying them. In the past I had little to no contact and little knowledge of this type of blood clotting. I still don't feel like wearing them dry except as a base layer in cold winters when less clothing is expected during training. They were amazingly comfortable and served their original purpose on and off the water in the spring. When swimming and kayaking, it can protect against UV rays, while other brands often do not have this property. This was one of the main reasons for choosing this brand. It's pretty cold for water activities right now. Cotton t-shirts became heavy, clunky and cumbersome when wet, quite dangerous. It's like a base layer when paddling and like a swim shirt when swimming. The feeling of tightness, which is sometimes confused with restricted movement, was mostly relieved with swimming. Not only women, but also men are starting to need bottoms that cover the top, especially when the sun gel is too delicate, impractical and uncomfortable. In fact, the sun can be quite destructive and cause cancer with direct exposure in less than an hour. Generally it takes more than 3 hours on the beach and on the boat.

Pros
