Star Wars compression - 1.jpg
If you’re getting caught up in the whole Star Wars hype at the moment and you feel the need to express it through the medium of a compression base layer, JD Sports stocks these Under Armour Star Wars options. Presumably, the Force will be with you… always.
These are made from lightweight fabrics with 4-way stretch and they’re said to be fast drying.
They’re both from the dark side, though. There’s a white stormtrooper one and a black Darth Vader one. Yoda version there is not (sorry, but it’s a journalist’s duty to stick in torturous quotes and/or references when mentioning Star Wars; it's what they teach us at college).
Right, that’s enough of that nonsense. They’re 45 quid a pop. www.jdsports.co.uk
