Soft Parts Would this be any good for an Undersuit?

[rowan]

I've been looking for a good undersuit for a while, i really liked chief's Idea Here
I was looking through some other links on good Undersuits, so far I'm choosing between these:

<a href="http://www.pricepoint.com/detail.htm?stylePkey=16214&style_id=535%20SETIM7" target="_blank">
Sette Impact Protective Suit w/ Zip-Off Sleeves
</a>
or
<a href="http://www.protopaintball.com/shop.asp?item=74010002%20%20%20%20%20%20%201?comp=DYE" target="_blank">
PROTO Top
</a>
using the armor plates from the PROTO along with a Heatgear top.

Heatgear top
</a>
or
<a href="http://www.thematrixcenter.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=1404" target="_blank">
Simple and inexpensive, i can get these for $30 from Ebay
</a> I also though i could get this and sow parts from the PROTO vest on.
I just have a few questions, has anyone used the Heatgear tops? i was wondering if they were skintight or perhaps if you got an extra size up you could wear them loosely?
Any suggestions for a good neck seal, not something bulky, and not the stormtrooper ones, i had a look at them but wasn't so keen on them, out of the ones i saw that is.
and my next question, what do YOU think i should do? any other suggestions are welcome.

your last link isnt working. but i really like the proto vest, its what i was planning on using too, i also like the other vest, but its $80! i had bought an under armor shirt before, and theyre pretty tight. but i think if you buy a size up it might be looser. as for the neck seal ive heard alot of people use the under armor ones. they arent bulky at all.

The Heatgear/Coldgear stuff is pretty skin-tight - I'm not sure if it would be possible to order any so oversized as to give you a loose fit. I'm 5'11, 200lbs. with a 48" chest and 36" waist and it's still skin tight with XXL...

I saw the Sette pressure suit when Skullcandy Girl posted and immediately ordered one. It arrived last Friday and I must say I like it. The XL was a bit tight but not too bad (and that's as big as they come). The base fabric is a nice breathable mesh that should look good over my Underarmour top and the zipoff sleeves are pretty sweet. My plan is to velcro those to my forearms to help keep them in place.

The Proto is nice but most of the spiffy detail will be covered right up when you put on your armor...

I picked up a lycra TK neckseal but don't much care for the look and finally just settled on a heatgear hood. I hope that this helps a bit - Good Luck!

would be worth a shot

what i would do is go to the nears pantball proshop and try on the gear so then you can get all the sizes

The links fixed.
So I take it the Sette suit is reasonably comfortable? Would it be suitable to wear with my armor at cons for long periods of time?
@Spartan 051- No paintball stores in Australia.... we can’t even use Airsoft guns.

i wouldnt say so theres 20 fields and i bet most have a pro shop for that gear

the link i used http://www.pbreview.com/fields/115/

and i looked were you live and there a field not that fare aways its in
Melbourne, Australia

I know of that paintball field, its near Melbourne, not in it (as far as i know) a trip to Melbourne is easy, but it would be kind of a hassle to go there just to look at gear, they don’t sell paintball guns and you cant play till your 18. I think ill go with the Sette suit, it looks like a good one. And ill just use BDU pants.
