- • Wearing Comfort: Soft brushed inner fabric with supportive compression and flat lock seams to minimise chafing
- • Best for: Active young athletes needing a thermal, performance base layer for training and matches

Keeps core warm during cold sessions - thanks to SuperThermal soft brushed inner fabric
SuperThermal soft brushed inner fabric traps a thin layer of warm air close to the skin, increasing thermal insulation without added bulk. The brushed surface feels soft while concentrating warmth where it is needed most.
Reliable warmth during warm-ups and outdoor drills, making cold-weather training more comfortable and focused.
Stays dry under exertion - thanks to TCA D.R.Y. moisture-wicking technology
TCA D.R.Y. pulls sweat away from the skin and moves moisture to the fabric surface, where it evaporates more rapidly. The system reduces cling and the soggy feeling during sustained effort.
Drier skin during high-intensity sessions helps reduce distraction and keeps youngsters comfortable through repeated drills.
Supports movement and reduces irritation - with compression fit, four-way stretch and flat lock seams
Compression fit supplies gentle muscle support while four-way stretch allows full range of motion for running, jumping and changing direction. Flat lock seams sit close to the skin to cut friction and prevent rubbing.
Comfortable for extended sessions and match days, allowing freedom of movement without painful chafing.
