Whoot! Wore My RIPT Fusion Mens Body Sculpting Undershirt Yesterday!

8/12/09 Update – Undershirt Review: RIPT Fusion Body Sculpting Undershirt

That’s right, my RIPT Fusion undershirt finally arrived late last week, along with a very sweet note from their PR firm, NIKE Communications! Although I was super anxious to try it out, mrs. tug and i were out of town, so i didn’t get the chance to wear it until yesterday.

I plan to do a full undershirt review in the next week or so, but here are my initial thoughts after wearing it all day yesterday:

1. To my surprise, this men’s slimming undershirt looks a whole lot more similar to a standard undershirt than any of the others I’ve tried to date. That’s do in most part because the top and the bottom of the RIPT are made from 100% cotton, while the middle is made from a polyester/spandex blend.
2. The sizing and shape are more akin to what you’d expect to see in a standard undershirt, so it’s not a super small undershirt that you have to squeeze into.
3. The RIPT was surprisingly easy to put on and get in place – a lot easier – as it felt more like putting on a regular undershirt.
4. The large RIPT Fusion fit me pretty well.  As mentioned above, the top part (above upper abs) and the bottom part (sweep/part you tuck in) are made out of 100% cotton (not stretchy cotton), so the fit in those areas felt about the same as wearing a tight fitting cotton undershirt.
5. I realize pretty quickly that I don’t look like the guy in the photo.
6. Good compression and slimming effects in the upper abs and around my upper mid-section. Moderate compression and around my stomach and waist (shaved off about 1/4″ – 1/2″ of my waist). Probably could have gotten into a medium to get more mid-section slimming, but I think the other parts of the undershirt might have been a little too tight because the cotton isn’t as forgiving as the poly/spandex.
7. Good length. Tucks in nicely and stays tucked. Not too long, not too short. Also, the bottom of the undershirt does not roll-up so good design choice in having the bottom made out of cotton.
8. There’s an inner garment label stitched into the left side of the undershirt that is really scratchy. After several hours, it’s pretty annoying, so I tore it off (sorry RIPT!).  Ahhh, problem solved
9. Wore it all day comfortably. Felt a little more confident and had a bit more pep in my step yesterday. My pants fit a hair better too.
10. Not as much compression/slimming as others I’ve worn, but at the price point of $58, I think that Heather has done a nice job of combining the look of a regular undershirt with the compression benefits you get from a slimming undershirt.
11. Yes, of course I have some suggestions, as I always do – but I’ll leave those for my upcoming full RIPT Fusion undershirt review stay tuned!
