Lycra Shirt

[Dickvanveiner]

Has anyone or does anyone use a 30% Lycra shirt. I bought one last year just to try and use for injury prevention. Basically it feels like wearing bike shorts for your upper body. Its tighter than a tight T shirt and it doesn't deform like a t shirt would. It feels supportive in the shoulder area. I bought it at www.sweatitout.com if anyone is interested in looking at the research done on the shirt.
heres an excerpt from the site:

Research shows that our fabric and garments will hold and support muscles with even pressure all around -- this translates into a longer period of time where the body can work at peak performance levels before fatigue sets in.
