100% cotton ends up sopping wet. 100% synthetic Under Armour Tech shirt is too hot. Is this shirt a good compromise?

It sure is a good compromise for me. I agree about 100% cotton, and don't own the UA Tech shirt, but didn't like the feel of it in the store. I love the UA charged cotton, and have bought two more recently.

This shirt is amazing. My 15 year old son wears an adult small, he is 5'4 110 pounds. He wears it to school, camp and roller hockey and never complains. It does not ever look wet to me.

since I discovered Under Armour shirts that is all I now wear to the gym. Under Armour it's better than just a good compromise

I have the same opinions as you regarding 100% cotton and 100% synthetic....I have found the UA "charged cotton" shirt pretty much answer both complaints! If I am anticipating at full out cardio "sweat" workout I prefer the UA "vented" hot gear shirts...they really work well. Otherwise...I am just sold on the "charged cotton" shirts. Great, comfortable top for lifting or stretching workouts. Plus I have found that they are my go to shirt for just bumming around town or going for hikes/walks. They are replacing my other cotton-Ts! Hope this helps.

It needs to be 100% cotton or it will turn out very pale, depending on the blend. But 100% cotton is the way to go.

This item should not get your clothing wet. It should provide the heat therapy without damaging clothing in any way

I don't believe so. I wanted 100% cotton with no chemicals, so I'm hoping that I selected the right one. I boiled mine before I used it to remove any "sizing" etc , to make sure it didn't contain anything harmful.

It's not evenly heated. I sent my back. It ruined quite a few shirts. Hope this helps.

Jose has a point, but thermal isn't for laps. I have a variety of wetsuits including a plain neoprene short suit with long sleeves and a sleeveless 3/4" terry lined suit for California Deep Diving. This shirt you want is perfect for laps, so what if it is ALSO UV protection, it keeps drops of water off your arms as you lift them from the pool so cold air doesn't hit your wet arms, thus you stay warm. UV is a bonus but not your focus. Treat yourself, O'Neill has a great reputation !!

I would not wear this over a collared shirt but I have worn it over long sleeved t-shirts as well as a base layer. It's designed to be a base/mid layer and works very well for that purpose. Maybe a quarter-zip merino sweater would work better for you over a collared shirt.

I didn't have any issues with it on my clothes. It is literally like lotion, it goes on thick and a bit sticky but by the end of application it is wonderful! I am certain it will be fine with with your tech fabrics. Hope this helps.

It's a little hot... but it works fine. I wear XL and this one fits too big. Hope this helps.

If you are looking for something light to wear over a swim suit to block the sun then yes this would be OK. And it would dry fast. Wouldn't recommend it by itself in place of a bathing suit. Wicks well. I have the white one and it is not very forgiving. Sports bra shows easily through it. Regardless i love the shirt for hot, humid runs. Works well for that.

I do Karate here so its the same... keep it short - NO. It won't keep you cool. Sorry to say, it feels good on your skin, it won't feel so good under such a heavy garment... Plus, it will ruin this shirt... Live with your sweat, make peace with it, love it :) No need for anything under your gi. If you do want something, get a sleeveless top, but this this, its not as tight as one expected. Its good for jogging out showing off your body. If you want to keep 10 degrees cooler take some ice cubes. or spray yourself with that ice cold spray for injuries. If you want to wick sweat better, look for outdoor/hiking tops, they tend to wick much better than UA. I also tried Columbia's COOL ZERO or whatever its called, wasn't tight enough. Go to the shop before you order online, you will get the feeling yourself... Hope it helps. Again, this is one awesome shirt to wear without anything above it. I forgot to mention - AVOID COTTON! Unless you want to be weight down by all your sweat which might make you feel a bit cooler - since you're wet.

The short answer would be no, being how lightweight the shirt is. The brand name is under armour and is not actually armour in the protective sense

Only have worn it for 1 hour during workout. It will get wet but not a wet feeling under as I wear it tight.

Yes, the moisture control & wicking works with this brand. Augusta brand works just as well as the Nike brand & Augusta better priced. Shirt is lightweight & airy & dries up quickly.

I'm afraid not. It is very cumbersome underneath a shirt and looks almost like a SWAT team member's armor when worn. It is good for training but it will always be obvious that you are wearing it

I live in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas so it gets pretty hot here, especially with humidity. It was pretty comfortable for me and I suspect it would be comfortable for anyone as long as they don't wear it while going commando and with an undershirt.

Too much gun for under a shirt. I suggest a shirt under your weapon. Wicks away the moisture.
