I own "regular" and "loose" fit UA shirts..How does this compare for looseness?

Hello,When I bought this I weighted around 240lbs (I'm about 5'11). At that time it fit as a regular would. Close to the skin but no where near a compression feel. As I lost weight (35lbs) it now fits loosely. If you pick the size you normally wear (a large for me before I lost weight) it should fit as a regular would. Hope this helps.

My husband likes things clingy so he is happy. It doesn't wrinkle in luggage either.

Kind of. The torso area is more fitted so you don't have material bjnching under armor. I wear Large T shirts normally. But I got the XL in this due to the arm length and neck size. I wore XL shirts until recent weight loss dropped me down a size. Best bet is to try them on first.

I wear large t-shirts that fit a little baggy & I ordered a small. It should be snug, but not tight.

Form fitting is definately better. I have not found the shirt to be hot but if you are concerned about it, you should order a white shirt that reflects the sun.

I have them both, and like them both. The ultra is a bit thicker, and (thus) gives you negligibly more compression: good. But I find the regular to be more comfortable. The top band of the ultra binds a bit. I'm more of a walker than a runner, and I find that wearing EITHER the regular or the ultra makes a difference: my legs and feet just don't get tired and achy. Someone who runs and has trouble with shin splints, etc, may prefer the ultra.

my husband says he hasn't noticed anything different, but he only wears it when he's doing jobs that require lifting or twisting. my friend (who bought one to help her recover from fractured pelvis & ribs) says her therapist told her not to wear it all the time....for the reasons you mentioned. so....i quess if you wore it lots, it would weaken your abs, because you wouldn't be using them. hope that all makes sense :)

Mine is a short sleeve V-neck t-shirt. It's pretty comfortable but I would also like to tell you that I have worn it a lot and don't see any improvement in the pain in my upper back. My pain is from a repetitive motion injury due to 32 years of intense computer work so maybe it just doesn't work for that. Good luck with yours!!

I would get the large. That way it won't be too tight because these make great layering shirts! You'll love it! !

I bought this shirt for my dad who has a lot of arthritis in his lower back. He wears his 24/7 & says it helps him feel & move better. He ended up buying 2 more so he never goes without wearing it. Hope this helps answer your question

I am a 2x shirt and the 2x v neck works well for me . Size seems to run true . Enjoy , I am

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.

I would say that I am on the Shorter size (5.6) and have broader shoulders than they rest. It seems to fit me well. Hope all works for you. Overall, it also it awesome. I wore mine today in fact. Terrible down pours, work shirt stayed dry as a bone.

Going with the slightly bigger gi will allow you to shrink it a bit. I wear an A3 and it's a bit big, tried an A2 and it was too small to roll in comfortably.

Mine is a little loose & it works fine for me. I have more energy since wearing it.

I would say loose, but not baggy. That is only if you are ordering the appropriate size, in which case it could go either way. It's form fitting without hanging off of you or being skin tight.

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.

John, These Shirts are equal to the a regular shirt. All you need to pay attention is type of compression of the shirt. I have purchased the Fitted which is a good one - it is the intermediate one from loose to tight one (on my opinion) to the regular day use and also for the workout as well. Some people rather have the other version which is too tight (again, my opinion).. Check it out which one is your son`s favourite for this matter. All my jerseys and Sport shirts are Large on size and it is the same I have used for this one. Hope this helps you out.
