Funny and true! I bought a few Nike and Underarmor under layers for $40+. Some at the local UA store, some at the Nike store. They work fine as expected.

One day my wife came home with a couple under layers from Wally World. I tried them and they work just as well as the high end versions I have. $12 vs $40+?

I picked up a few more and love them. One model from Russell is very soft, almost flannel like. I have a few different styles and many colors.

I have about 10 of them now and the 6 or so high end versions are still sitting in my closet collecting moth balls.

Went back this weekend and found the underlayers on sale for $7 !!! Even found one plain black one for $3.

I actually like the under layers more than the high end. Some of these have vent like panels at the underarms and on the back that makes them more breathable than the high end versions I have.

Not to mention, with the clearance sale, the XXL and the XXXL are all the same price, no $1 extra charge for larger size they normally have.

Another thing, I bought a Huffy back in 1992. I rode heck out of that thing before it fell apart and I had to upgrade. But I was doing 60 mile rides on it while my friends had $2000 Klein roadies sitting in their garages. That was a lot of money back then for a roadie.

So I figure my Walmart bike served it's purpose and well, per my intentions at the time.
