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.

This is definitely a workout shirt. The shirt has the moisture wicking fabric similar to the Under Armour gear.

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.

No. You should purchase an "Under Armour Men's UA ColdGear® Evo Compression Hybrid Mock". I am not kidding. I am 5'11" and have 170 lb. I've got a size M. It has very good compression and mesh panels under the armpits. The Heat in summer has bothered me at no time. It is the shirt for you, I promise. Tristran.

I have the organic and it isn't hot at all. I have seen the airflow and it is mostly a mesh material. If you live in a hot climate, that might work better for you. I am in CO and we have had a hot summer and the organic has been fine for us.

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

The fabric is quite thin and can certainly be used in place of an undershirt. It would not be noticeable at all. My husband wore it before our hot weather hit, so I really don't know the answer to whether or not it retains heat. However, given the unqualified recommendation of athletes, I doubt it -- but I don't know.

No, the material in this shirt helps release heat and mositure from your skin. Where UA makes a different type of material to help keep your bodies heat in (cold gear).

I only used it in semi warm weather, but not really. I mean I'm sure it's better than a cotton type fabric but I was sweating pretty good. I was In the sun so perhaps the black color is why.

I believe it would. I walked a lot of the tough mudder I did due to foot disability and I was warm even with this shirt being wet. I would use it as an under layer, like long johns.

I would recommend wearing a lightweight long sleeve shirt instead. These are quite thick, and most comfortable when getting wet.

I think if you're looking for something to help with thunder storms, I'd try a Thunder Shirt first. If that fails, then you could try this product. I think this product is more designed for long-term stress issues, since it takes a while to "build up" and start working.

My son loves his, and has been wearing it as an outer layer over other shirts (tees and turtle necks) this whole fall. I would think biggest issue might be getting too warm once you were indoors. That, and getting a size with some extra room for the layering.

It's a cotton/poly t-shirt, not the heatgear material, sizing is true for t-shirts.

The WWP shirt is made from UA Charged, which is a cotton/heat gear blend. It doesn't perform exactly like my Heat Gear shirts when sweating but it does far exceed a pure cotton t-shirt in that it doesn't get/stay damp and clammy. Size is true to form; I wear an XXL, this one fit great new and hasn't shrunk at all from several washings.

The shirt will surely help with its SPF protection, but it feels to me that the shirt adapts to the water temperature quickly. It is a quality shirt. n I found it and shirts like it to be a little difficult to remove after getting out of the water, if they are still wet. Wait fior them to dry (that will be fast), or give him a hand. Good luck.
