Hi all,
I'm searching hard for compression-style garments, specifically a short-sleeved shirt or vest.
I can't seem to find anything that has the size I need. My son is 6, but he's little, wears age 4-5 or 5-6.
So to get something that would offer a tight-fit I need a 3-4, but I can't tell whether, if I buy the small / toddler size, if it will be wearable -will it be long enough? will it feel too small to him?
We're in South Africa, so generally it's too warm to buy the long-sleeve stuff to wear under other clothes. Ideally I need something quite plain that he will be able to wear under his school uniform.
I've looked on some of the SPD sites, and while there are compression garments on a few of them (and not many!), they all only list the really tiny (under 3 years) sizes and the large sizes - or med/large, from 9-10 and up.
Any ideas for something else I can try? I thought of thermal underwear but as we're only in autumn we still have a number of quite hot days, so I can't put him in a thermal vest year-round.
We do have sports-wear stores but the smallest sizes they offer are 4-5 and it's a baggy fit
Any other ideas???? I really think something like this could benefit him a lot, but there doesn't seem to be much on offer.
