Under armour / compression garments - Kate_M - 04-02-2013 Hi all, I'm searching hard for compression-style garments, specifically a short-sleeved shirt or vest. I can't seem to find anything that has the size I need. My son is 6, but he's little, wears age 4-5 or 5-6. So to get something that would offer a tight-fit I need a 3-4, but I can't tell whether, if I buy the small / toddler size, if it will be wearable -will it be long enough? will it feel too small to him? We're in South Africa, so generally it's too warm to buy the long-sleeve stuff to wear under other clothes. Ideally I need something quite plain that he will be able to wear under his school uniform. I've looked on some of the SPD sites, and while there are compression garments on a few of them (and not many!), they all only list the really tiny (under 3 years) sizes and the large sizes - or med/large, from 9-10 and up. Any ideas for something else I can try? I thought of thermal underwear but as we're only in autumn we still have a number of quite hot days, so I can't put him in a thermal vest year-round. We do have sports-wear stores but the smallest sizes they offer are 4-5 and it's a baggy fit Any other ideas???? I really think something like this could benefit him a lot, but there doesn't seem to be much on offer. RE: Under armour / compression garments - LAC1961 - 04-07-2013 I know we purchased an Under Armour-type shirt at Target for our daughter. It fit very snug and was quite long. It was called C9 by Champion compression shirt. She was about 40 pounds when I bought it at 4 years old and it was quite snug (size 4). RE: Under armour / compression garments - Kate_M - 04-09-2013 Thanks, but unfortunately we don't have any Target stores here. A local store has offered to do a special order for us ***YAY***!!! I'm waiting to hear when they can get it here for us. RE: Under armour / compression garments - LAC1961 - 04-10-2013 Can your order online at Target.com? RE: Under armour / compression garments - Kate_M - 04-10-2013 Hi LAC, The prohibitive part at the moment is the very high international shipping rates to SA and the customs taxes. For eg: the sports shop can get the shirt for me for R300 total cost Ordering it online - the shirt itself costs R197 on the UA site, but the shipping + taxes rounds the total cost to R735. Other sites are similar - no-one seems to offer low shipping to SA. But so far so good with the sports shop - which makes this mom very happy! Thanks RE: Under armour / compression garments - Marrism - 06-20-2013 Hi Kate, Go to Spioworks.com. They have a product that is very lightweight, but very strong and can be worn for extended lengths of time. They also have a money back guarantee if you're not satisfied. The garment is used for either strong proprioceptive input or to help with extreme joint laxity. Hope this helps. Matt -- Occupational Therapist (04-02-2013, 10:23 AM)Kate_M Wrote: Hi all, |
