If you're actually playing a sport, they can give you a better range of motion and not give you excess fabric to get caught on thing/let people grab you/etc. But if you're just walking around, then they're retarded.

making the package look bigger isnt practical?

Seeing as how he was talking about tight atheletic shirts... is your "package" in your armpit or something?

I think they look pretty cool.. They're also probby pretty comfortable. And, they probby annoy you less when you're trying to lift certain weights where a T-shirt would be restricting. It always would annoy me when my T-shirt would catch while benchpressing.

I've actually got my body to the point that I look good in them, but I won't buy one unless there's some practical value to it when working out.

is it underarmor? Underarmor is awesome! It stays dry no matter how sweaty you get and keeps you warm if the temp is cold. I used to wear it under all of my hockey gear when I played ice hockey. Very comfortable and non restricting.

i wore it when i played baseball. it helps a lot i think if you are being active. it isnt restrictive, its comfortable, and it looks sweet.

being skin tight improves the wicking abilities of the material. good for cooling you off

i went hiking with the stuff (well, not really tight at all but the wicking stuff) and it really improved my experience -> i wasnt hot or cold while we were hiking and resting; and in addition my clothes werent soaked with sweat like regular cotton would be.

Underarmor is excellent - I wear it under my BP vest and ammo vest. Still saving up for the $7000 full SWAT suit though.

I just wish they'd make Underarmor boxer-briefs. I wouldn't wear anything else - somthing that can get my ballsweat away from my balls = godsend.

Better there than making me feel like I've been having marathon sex.

i agree, boxers are pretty stupid if you think about it, and in my experience girls dont find it any less attractive, so there are no extra features or bonuses (unless you get shanked, then boxers are l33t)

tight clothes are more comfortable, give you more range of motion and whisk sweat away better.
