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.

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 have not yet had a chance to test drive these particular pants, though I am working on it. That said, these are nylon. I hear that before Underarmor invented wicking sportswear fabric, nylon was terrible stuff. I even believe it, as I had a horrible nylon sweater that would make me sweat in negative temps. However, nylon and polyester and other synthetic fabrics are in most athletic clothes, and they are both comfy and breathable, as well as quickly wicking away moisture. (And, in the case, moisture is sweat from hiking.)

Don't know, but look like it in the photos. If you are in a hot climate and you have light duty, you will love this shirt. Feels like wearing nothing at all. Very thin material so might not hold up well if you handle a jackhammer all day.

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.

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.

yes it is! I was on a trip to Greenville SC. we got stuck in the rain and none of my stuff got to wet. I also wear it around everywhere and sweat with it on. it's been really awesome! I may upgrade to one of the larger ones but this particular bad is amazing!

Hmm, I know it has kept me plenty dry, warm, and not sweaty and I have given it plenty of action, including violent swims. The neck gasket does leak a tiny bit, which happened a couple of weeks ago at Kilchis River on the SHORE when I got wave after wave of heavy rain dumped on me for a good half hour. Get one of those LL Bean fleece fishing jumpsuits for $50-60 to wear under it, and a sweatshirt to wear between it and the drysuit if it's cold outside, and you will be fine.

The under tech needs to fit snug too the body which holds the weapon in place. Cotton clothing can shrink especially if it contains paper.Polyester doesn't shrink like cotton so try the smaller size you can always return it if it's to shall.

No, not at all. It's cotton and very comfortable on bare skin. I think you'd be very happy with it.

They are very effective at keeping shirts dry. Heads up that they are a bit itchy though. My first son had no problem with it and my second refused to wear them.

This shirt is a rash guard. It is very thin, not neoprene, with no insulation factors whatsoever. I use to to protect from sun and to keep BCD from rubbing. I am a Master Diver and have logged many dives with this. It would be appropriate for warm tropical diving to protect from chafing, but will not keep you warm.

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

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

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.

Hi Deanna, My husband works in the oilfield. He is requires FR with "x" amount of bright and reflective fabric. After washing this item a few times it became not as bright. He still uses them under a vest when they get worn. Also the sizes we found run a bit bigger than normal. I hope this helps. It really is a great FR shirt for the price.Tami

I haven't tried it in water but it is the best shirt I've found for the Oklahoma high humidity summer temps. I walk 6 or 7 miles daily in all kinds of weather and this shirt wicks moisture very well and does not cling. It also dries very quickly without wrinkling. I think it would probably be great for the water. I love this shirt! Very comfy.
