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.

My husband is hot natured and he loves this t-shirt under his work uniform.

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

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

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.

Absolutely. My biggest complaint with this shirt is that when it comes back from the local laundry service in a bag with my other clothes it is wrinkled beyond recognition. Hand wash & air dry would be the best bet for this material. It's nice & light and should dry quickly.

Yes... Just so you know, they are also categorized under compression mock as well. Just with a "neat" name provided by Under Armour, as all brands do.I used them underneath shirts on a temperature of 05Celsius to 15Celsius.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The material is lightweight, so it shouldn't be too bad in hot temperatures. However it doesn't breathe well like cotton fabric, so it could get sweaty.

Yeah it would be way to hot I sweat to death in about 60 degree weather running around with it on, get under armour heat gear base layer or nike pro combat

Bought this for my wife, so I asked her what she thought. She said "Both. It's a great hot-weather shirt because it's light and breathable, but I have also worn it in cooler weather over a tee-shirt, and it provides just enough extra warmth on those cool mornings." She loves the shirt, which I bought her because we were going hiking, and I so liked the men's version of the shirt, which I have worn for several years. Hope that helps.

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! :-)

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.

It's not evenly heated. I sent my back. It ruined quite a few shirts. Hope this helps.

I'm 6' 3", 208 lbs., average build (no huge chest and no belly) and a LARGE fits me perfectly. According to the UA website, this is a "loose" fit t-shirt and is very comfortable and ideal for staying dry and cool while playing sports, running, or just wearing around the house. UA's size chart says guys around our size should be wearing a large (http://www.underarmour.com/shop/us/en/size-charts) unless of course you have a larger chest or waist area than the chart suggests, then you might need an XL. Good luck!
