I prefer a more form fitting shirt - but was wondering if the shirt gets hot when not wet and hence a larger shirt is more likely to stay cool?

I have no idea. I like a loose fitting shirt so I bought an extra large when I would have taken a large. I only used the shirt at an indoor pool and when I got out of the water I was chilly.

I only wore it around the pool in Palm Springs. It's not form fitting, at least the size I got for myself but I don't like them to fit that way...but no issues with the shirt getting hot.Hope that helps. Ps. lots of compliments on the "look" of the shirt.

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.

It will keep you warmer than going bare. I do work out in a warm pool but it is below body temp. The surrounding air is cold. This keeps my arms and shoulders from getting cold. Order the size you wear and this shirt is longer. It is supposed to fit tight. The zipper up the front helps with getting in and out of it.

We haven't seen any difference in the shirts. My husband wears an X large though so could be a difference in the smaller sizes.

rashguard, in general, and this shirt, in particular, is worn for sun protection, not to keep warm. For that, you will need a wet suit made of neoprene, which comes in long or short sleeve and varying thickness.

You can see the shirt a little under certain shirts. My son said it doesn't make him hot and he usually gets hot easily.

in my opinion no it may ride up when extremely wet its more of a dry sport or workout compression shirt

The sides have adjustable drawstrings, so better to be a little small than too large, although mine is one-size-fits all. I wear a L & it is fine for me, but would be OK for a larger person as well. I like mine a lot. Better than Cool Suit and will keep you cooler much longer. I recommend extra panels. They are cheap.

Just a long sleeve shirt would be fine, otherwise you will be too warm. Wear it mountain climbing. I have friends that climb all over the world and this is what they recommended.

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.

The chest fit a tad loose but it breathes or keeps you cooler this way, while riding, and I own a Ducati super bike, it's comfortable and doesn't move in the wind. Great even with the liner for cold days. Paired with a thermal compression shirt, this jacket works day, night, hot or cold. Hope this helps!

I can tell you what experience has taught me.These shirts are meant to be a bit snug;not take your breath away snug but a little bit as to improve performance.So for instance where I normally wear an XL I'd go for a large and so far that's worked for me.Hope that helps.Best of luck with everything!

I wear mine in the Atlanta area and have had no problems with being hotter while wearing this. It does run small for a man though.

It probably is true because it allows the air to flow thru the shirt. I've used it for basketball games and its much cooler than a cotton shirt

I think that I bought the large. I also had an issue with them coming down from the top. I did find that pulling more material up from around the wrist reduced the tension pulling down the tops. That helped a lot. There is no question that they do cool the skin. I just bought a pair of Nike sleeves in a different color after finding them on clearance, but I have not used them yet.

For motorcycle Rides I think they will work well because you are moving and it will keep you cool, I have used this at the beach during a windy day and it works great.. I love this shirt I get complements every whenever I wear it...

I would get the larger size because I wanted to use it over a lined raincoat (which is not waterproof!) or winter jacket. In the summer I use it alone. It has a belt that can be drawn in to make it fit more snugly.

This is a very form fitting shirt and if u buy it to fit - it will be tight and not ride up
