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.

This is a loose fit shirt. The charged cotton shirts fit like a regular t-shirt.

Hey. Yes, these fit like regular t-shirts. A large fits like a large and a medium fits like a medium. You should note that these are thinner and lighter weight than some other shirts, but I actually like that. I've switched exclusively to these shirts for all of my t's. Yes, they are a bit on the pricey side, but well worth it. They wash well and dry super quick. I wash and dry all of my UA stuff on delicate/low just to be safe. I hope this was helpful. Cheers!

I know exactly what you mean. Because these hug the undergarment, they fit much better, and are flexible. They are softer than other commercial products and are far less irritating. Quite honestly, I find these are the best item for it's type out there.

It's more compression in that it's snug fitting (to show off that Under Armour body!) It is not compression like compression shorts or cycling shorts. I wouldn't be surprised if UA offers a line of apparel like what you're looking for, but the Heatgear line probably won't do what you're wanting.

i'm still learning UA's category myself, i'm 190cm and 90.5kg and for the time being, L size fits me comfortably, the "compression" style needs someone more slim though would look great if you dont have obliques

Hi Richard! Fit is a subjective thing, and depends very much on your particular body shape. The UA apparel is very true to size, but there are specific garment measurements that can help you choose the right size.

It depends on what type of shirt you're wearing nd how loose or tight it maybe. But to sum it up I think it will be noticeable

I have both, and I prefer the ultra. The regular barely feels like any compression. It's much more comfortable, but it doesn't make a big difference for me. I should mention I use them primarily because I have low blood pressure, instead of solely athletic reasons. The Ultra makes a big difference, and the regular maybe makes a slight difference, but really just feels like I'm wearing snug leg warmers. I agree with the first reviewer though, the top band of the ultra does bind.

Here's a little more info to help you make a decision. My husband is the same sleeve but a 15, sometimes 15 1/2 in the neck. I ordered him a medium in the short sleeve style for Christmas and it was really big. It was so big I almost returned it but since I picked it up cheap on a Lightning Deal I decided to keep it and trying washing it. It's polyester though, so it didn't really help. These shirts are standard wear in our neck of the woods (or should I say water?) ;-). They are not meant to be fitted but they shouldn't be too billowy either. The medium on my husband (who could stand to loose a few) definitely bordered on too billowy. They are very(very) wide and run big through the shoulders. The shoulder seam actually came down about and inch or two into his upper arm. For what its worth, I am going to try a small this time around and hope for a better fit.

I am a large man! I normanly buy 3XL tee shirts. 2XL was the largest tommie copper available @ Amazon so I gave it a try. It is quite snug but not uncomfortable. I often wear it to bed. The fabric stretches a lot.

I also wear a 1X top. I have a 1X Tommie Copper. It is meant to be a compression style fit, so it is tight. More like a spanx type fit than a T-shirt fit. It is comfortable. I wear mine underneath other shirts.

I went with the size that is my usual shirt size. I have more of a medium frame than a large one. I wear medium sized shirts more often than I do large. That is how I determined which to buy. I will add though that I seemed to never get the thing to fit in a way that it actually worked effectively. To get it all tight enough around your midsection, and then up around your shoulder girdle required some real manipulation. When you got it all on so that it would (as it is supposed to) hold your posture- the straps around your shoulders would cut into your skin. It would remind me that I am trying to correct my posture, but not do it for me. If you are looking for a product that works better to mechanically correct your posture effectively try the Nada Chair. However, it is used only for when you are sitting.

It doesn't hurt to be a little loose so others can use it if they are larger than you. However, if you plan to use it a lot the luxury of having a perfect fit Obrien is certainly nice, until you gain weight. I'd go with a large if I was you, even though you sound like a medium.

I think you can wear it under a loose fit shirt but not slim fitted shirt because the straps are well padded. It will even make you look good on the shoulder muscle like you worked out a lot lol. It doesn't seem to contain metal. It's all fabric except the ring in the back seems to be hard plastic. A tip for you: some people say it's hard to put on, NOT TRUE. Try turn it up side down when you wear it. It works the same. This works very well for my husband, effective yet comfortable...until one day he got lazy and left it in the corner. So if you decide on buying it to help with your posture, do yourself a favor: try to stick to it. Good luck!

I'm about the same and wear a large. I normally wear large to fit my shoulders and length of arms. Most typical large shirts fit loose around the waist but this one is snug. The torso stretches to fit, so that helps when family gatherings and holiday meals make the material seem to shrink.

I'd consider looking at the ColdGear shirts that are labeled as "Regular" or "Loose" fitting if he doesn't like tight shirts. The "fitted" like this shirt is, is form fitting and is close to your skin (not baggy at all). You can probably find these on Amazon too, but here is the link to UA's regular and loose fitting ColdGear shirts since it is easier to filter for just those: http://www.underarmour.com/shop/us/en/mens/apparel/tops/longsleeve/loose/regular-fit/coldgear#products
