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.

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.

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.

Hi Peggy, this is a poly/spandex blend. If you are looking for cotton, maybe good old-fashioned thermal underwear would be a better choice.

Not at all that I noticed, just make sure it drys all the way before you put a shirt on and you will be fine

I was on the road when I answered this earlier and said "no". I got home and put water on the fabric and it beaded up and rolled off. I have only worn it as an undergarment but would not want to get it wet while it is warming you so my answer no is I am not sure.

I don't know what they are intended for, BUT I can tell you they are much thicker than any other shirts like these I've owned and it takes a lot longer for them to dry. It would probably be a good shirt for underneath a suit if you want material that is more substantial.

It's a cotton/poly t-shirt, not the heatgear material, sizing is true for t-shirts.

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.

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.

I believe, yes, in hot weath climate in works like Forestguard, but isn't the ideal, this may work well but..., I sugesst to you Propper but 100% cotton ripstop BDU's pants, P.D. I'm in Colombia, I work in field, wet forest and cloud forest, I know wath I say.

Your body type is the same as mine. I got the medium and loved it. It has to be super tight or otherwise water gets in there and renders it useless for temperature regulation.

It should not be wet. You must have a leak. This item did not work for me. It started out cool but was warm within a couple of hours.

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

No. You should purchase an "Under Armour Men's UA ColdGear® Evo Compression Hybrid Mock". I am not kidding. I am 5'11" and have 170 lb. I've got a size M. It has very good compression and mesh panels under the armpits. The Heat in summer has bothered me at no time. It is the shirt for you, I promise. Tristran.

My son loves his, and has been wearing it as an outer layer over other shirts (tees and turtle necks) this whole fall. I would think biggest issue might be getting too warm once you were indoors. That, and getting a size with some extra room for the layering.
