I take this back....I only like the paradox base layer pants. Even then, I find paradox to be oddly fitting.

I agree, I got the medium top and it was big. So I got the small, and even then, the sleeves are a tad long. @ 5'8" and broad build and longer arm reach. So, I'm not sure on who paradox is sizing up for these measurements. These small guys must have retarded long reaches, with a 6ft long wing span.

The base layers are the only decent ones. I'll stick with this and buy the true north tops for $ 20 (100% merino).

Say I go for a run today and get all sweaty, will the clothes be dry tomorrow?

yes, Compression clothes don't dry as fast as these wicking clothes. Will it dry tomorrow? Depends if you leave it in a warm place under a heater vent for example. But wash it after every use, if you can.



From this thread, I guess it's, if you have the money, get Icebreakers; if you want more affordable, get underarmour. Good to know.
