The flip side: the race cut fits well.
That is close to my impression of Champion stuff, excellent fit, but cheapish build - however I've found the shirts to breathe nicely (although the kit I have from them is mostly white...)

Our stuff right now is from Primal, and it fits too loosely and breathes like crap. The chamois is very nice though.
