For those of you who like Underarmor, but don't like the price, ****'s SG has a store brand called Ativa. I have 3 of the cold wear compression shirts and I think they are great. I wore one on my ride today under my pretty Smartwool hoodie. At the start of my ride in was in the 40s and I was quite comfy. I got warm as the day warmed up.
I have 3 now. They are 29.99 compared to 49.99 for UA. I bought 2 this morning with a Black Friday coupon. I didn't see any tights.
ETA: How funny. It's Dack's except with an "I".

SB, I saw those last week and was considering buying a pair of tights, so your review is very timely! I really need a new pair of running tights, but am too cheap to pay the UA prices. I'll have to trot up to Chattanooga this weekend and see if "Dack's" (too funny!) has any left in my size. Thanks for the info.

Know what you mean about UA prices! I really need a full length pair of tights.
Have a nice lunch in Chattanooga. Haven't been that way in a while.

I must say my UA Frosty Tights ($49.99) was the best money I have even spent. I run in them all the time-well not right now, we are having a heat wave.
I have not heard of Ativa tell me more, please.Jennifer

Ativa is the store label of that store name that won't pass the censor. They have their version of gym stuff, of UA, and I think of golf wear. Muchly cheaper. Oddly, I looked at the website, and it isn't on the site, just in the store.
