Has anyone tried this brand compression shirts?

I'm thinking about ordering a couple of these and wondered if anyone has experience with them. I like that they don't have the big logos like UA and some of the others I've seen (but if those work better I can deal with the logos). I also like the different color options.

    That looks promising, aunt paula.  It has the same elastane percentage as the UnderArmour shirts. The neckline would be pretty hard to camouflage under spring and summer clothing, though.

    I've been working with Go Athletics for more than a year to design a compression shirt that works like the UA shirts but has no screaming logo and a wardrobe-friendly neckline, plus comes in a range of sizes that works for women both petite and plus, and in between.  They've been working this project in around other business commitments, so it's a slow go.  They have devised a pattern and the next step is grading the pattern to the various sizes, and then they'll send me samples for size testing.  I have a great list of people--most from here at bco-- who have volunteered to try the shirts on and help perfect the sizing, so we're just being patient until Go can provide those.  Soon, I hope!

    Nice colors. Wonder if these are machine wash/dry. Interesting to see what this company has come up with since starting in a small city where I lived for 15 years. Selling athletic shoes to rural high school teams out of their car trunks, the original owners became millionaires when they sold to FootLocker... 

    Carol, I found some loopy scarves that manage to at least partially cover the central UA logo so I can wear them on airplanes. Can't wait to see your most recent project come to fruition!

    Carol, that sounds wonderful! I hope it is successful--I would love to have the option of no logos and a clothing-friendly neckline!
