Lasts and lasts!
My son wears this daily for HS tackle and it gets washed daily as well. This is its second full season with it too. It wears well, fits great and washes incredible! Didn't think he would out grow it before it wore out. He does need a size bigger but only because he has grown. He loves it and it is so comfortable under his pads.
ProsLong wearing. Comfortable.

5pad sleeveless football shirt
Ive worn it for 3 practices and can hardly tell im wearing it with pads on it. Fits great under the shoulder pads.
ProsGreat feel, compressed to your body, and pads actually stop the initial impact!
