Canterbury of NZ Baselayer Kids’ Long Sleeve Compression Top
The Canterbury of NZ Kids' Baselayer LS Compression Top is a junior long sleeve compression base layer designed to provide comfortable support during training, matches and outdoor sport. Suitable for rugby, football, athletics and other active sports, it combines an ergonomic compression fit with heat regulating fabric and UPF 50+ UV protection to help young athletes stay comfortable in a range of conditions. Finished in Black, it is an ideal layer to wear beneath a playing jersey or on its own during training.
Designed for junior athletes, the Kids' Baselayer LS Compression Top features an ergonomic contoured design with set in sleeves that follows the body's natural movement. The close fitting construction provides a comfortable performance layer without restricting mobility during training or competition.
Shaped yoke panels and forward facing side seams allow greater freedom of movement through the shoulders and torso. Whether sprinting, tackling, passing or changing direction, the garment is designed to move naturally with the body.
Flat seams with coverstitching help minimise rubbing against the skin, making the top more comfortable to wear under a rugby jersey or during longer training sessions.
The heat regulating fabric helps young athletes stay comfortable in changing conditions, while UPF 50+ UV protection provides additional protection during outdoor sport. A CCC logo on the centre chest completes the classic Canterbury look.
Who is the Kids' Baselayer LS Compression Top best for?
The Canterbury of NZ Kids' Baselayer LS Compression Top is ideal for young athletes looking for a supportive base layer for training and match day. It is particularly well suited to junior rugby players, but also works well for football, athletics and other sports where an extra performance layer is beneficial.
What should you consider before buying?
This is a compression fit garment that is designed to sit close against the body. If your child prefers a less fitted feel or is between sizes, selecting the larger size may provide a more comfortable fit.
