dye balance top

[Tom37]

what does this do? is it just a jersey? does it help with balance? or just make you look like a camp scuba diver?

Its like neoprene protection for your puny little body...sort of thing.
(Your..meant as a general term)

lol well thanks!! so does it hurt less to be hit wearing one of these?

I don't think its neoprene or for protection. I think it wicks sweat away from your skin keeping you dry during the day but could be wrong!

I've got something similar, if you buy one of those UV protection tops the surfers wear they do exactly the same thing but cheaper .

Also if you wear it right under your jersey, mine slips really easily under the jersey fabric & makes sliding easier.

as Dave said they take the sweat away from your skin or something, and keep you cool.

It's not neoprene, it's sorta like lycra . Won't help with bounces at all, I don't think.

edit: similar to this, sorta.

But anyways the dye balance top is designed specifically for keeping you cool, don't go for cheap alternatives kids.
