HYBRID Ax/Rx LONG SLEEVE COMPRESSION SHIRT

The DFND hybrid long sleeve compression shirt (part #MC219) is a men's base layer with a patented Ax/Rx design. DFND's light Ax fabric covers the body, while firmer Rx fabric panels are built in to cue your shoulders back. As a result, it encourages a more upright, balanced posture. The model is 6'2", 185 lb and wears a size large.

The sleeves use graduated compression, and DFND pairs this shirt with its recovery tight as part of a sleepwear recovery routine. In addition, it works as an all-weather base layer or performance undergarment. Flatlock seams limit chafing. It's made in the USA and Berry compliant.

Why for lacrosse? It's a slim base layer under shoulder pads for cold practices, and the posture panels are a good reminder for players who hunch over the stick all day.
