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 looks like the UA T shirts and boxers are mixed together and you have to click on the image? I responded about the undershirts so don't know how it ended up under boxers?

Yes, you could. It isn't as hot as I thought it would be. It is tighter than most t-shirts and I had get used to wearing it. You may have to wear it for a few short periods before trying to wear it all day.

Yes, but watch that content of the t-shirt should only be cotton, as you will be using high heat and if it has other fabric blended it will burn and stretch and your iron on will crack.

Not at all that I noticed, just make sure it drys all the way before you put a shirt on and you will be fine

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 !!

This shirt is designed for warm weather, as it has many different ventilation flaps to help air circulate. It would make for a great hiking shirt on warm hot days, as it keeps you cool and does not hold any type of sweat. It is very thin and lightweight.

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.

Good for sweat wicking, retains heat even when damp, definitely not waterproof in a traditional sense, put it in a gore tex bivy and your good to go.

I dont think so. It is definitely breathable. Feel like cotton but it totally blocks the leakage.

Mine gets so hot under my desk that I have a cotton bath mat (sort of like a heavy duty towel) on top of it. So, I'd say yes. I wouldn't use anything synthetic. Also, not sure it can get wet...

It does get quite hot, an I often iron with the steam off and only turn it on when needed (I also a spray fabric finish to avoid using steam). As an indicator of the high temperature the iron reaches, I note that I recently made the mistake of ironing up close to the buttons and the thin sole plate was able to melt and sever the synthetic threads holding the buttons, so I suspect the synthetic fusibles would easily melt as required.

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

Not very much cooler. It is somewhat cooler, but even mesh was sweaty for me when it was real feel temp of 110 in the Florida Summer. It may keep baby a little cooler because they are the ones who benefit from the mesh. Baby is heating you up regardless, but they will get more of a breeze out of the mesh than the organic cotton. Is it worth it? Its not a huge difference so go with what you like better. Its not like baby and I were sweat free in the mesh when it was that hot. The organic lillebaby is incredibly soft and I do recommend checking that out if you pass on this one.

Sorry, but I don't know the answer to this question, as I just started purchasing UA garments. They fit me great and I'm round 10-15 lbs overweight. I imagine if I lost my xtra pounds, the shirts would be a "relaxed" fit. My guns are big, too--the arms fit snug on my 18" upper arms. Hope this helps! :-)

I haven't worn mine in the summer, but I think it would definitely be too hot. It's not like a regular underarmour shirt, it has a little extra insulation to keep you warm. If you're looking for a longsleeved workout shirt, I think Underarmour makes HeatGear that is specifically designed to be worn in warm weather.

This shirt will not stop you from swimming, and assuming your arms move normally without the shirt, they should function just as well with this shirt on. However, I should caution that this shirt will NOT cure your arms if they do not currently move normally, nor will it teach you to swim if you are currently unable. A more serious answer, this shirt feels great, like a typical base layer shirt that is a bit snug.
