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.

If you are looking for something light to wear over a swim suit to block the sun then yes this would be OK. And it would dry fast. Wouldn't recommend it by itself in place of a bathing suit. Wicks well. I have the white one and it is not very forgiving. Sports bra shows easily through it. Regardless i love the shirt for hot, humid runs. Works well for that.

No, the material in this shirt helps release heat and mositure from your skin. Where UA makes a different type of material to help keep your bodies heat in (cold gear).

No. The shirt posses no buoyancy, just good for keeping the sun off and preventing any rubbing from snorkel/ scuba gear.

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

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.

yes it is! I was on a trip to Greenville SC. we got stuck in the rain and none of my stuff got to wet. I also wear it around everywhere and sweat with it on. it's been really awesome! I may upgrade to one of the larger ones but this particular bad is amazing!

Not very much cooler. It is somewhat cooler, but even mesh was sweaty for me when it was real feel temp of 110 in the Florida Summer. It may keep baby a little cooler because they are the ones who benefit from the mesh. Baby is heating you up regardless, but they will get more of a breeze out of the mesh than the organic cotton. Is it worth it? Its not a huge difference so go with what you like better. Its not like baby and I were sweat free in the mesh when it was that hot. The organic lillebaby is incredibly soft and I do recommend checking that out if you pass on this one.

This is definitely a workout shirt. The shirt has the moisture wicking fabric similar to the Under Armour gear.

Jose has a point, but thermal isn't for laps. I have a variety of wetsuits including a plain neoprene short suit with long sleeves and a sleeveless 3/4" terry lined suit for California Deep Diving. This shirt you want is perfect for laps, so what if it is ALSO UV protection, it keeps drops of water off your arms as you lift them from the pool so cold air doesn't hit your wet arms, thus you stay warm. UV is a bonus but not your focus. Treat yourself, O'Neill has a great reputation !!

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.

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

This item should not get your clothing wet. It should provide the heat therapy without damaging clothing in any way

It does run true to size. Being a water-resistent outer layer of clothing, expect it to be built to intentionally have enough room to fit over base, second and and perhaps a medium weight outer layer. Now, if worn in hot weather with only a t-shirt underneath, it may be a bit loose-fit.

Don't know, but look like it in the photos. If you are in a hot climate and you have light duty, you will love this shirt. Feels like wearing nothing at all. Very thin material so might not hold up well if you handle a jackhammer all day.

I believe it would. I walked a lot of the tough mudder I did due to foot disability and I was warm even with this shirt being wet. I would use it as an under layer, like long johns.

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!
