Can this be worn as a workout shirt or is this predominantly worn (as I see in the reviews) as an undershirt?

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

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.

John, These Shirts are equal to the a regular shirt. All you need to pay attention is type of compression of the shirt. I have purchased the Fitted which is a good one - it is the intermediate one from loose to tight one (on my opinion) to the regular day use and also for the workout as well. Some people rather have the other version which is too tight (again, my opinion).. Check it out which one is your son`s favourite for this matter. All my jerseys and Sport shirts are Large on size and it is the same I have used for this one. Hope this helps you out.

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.

Yes you will be able to wear this under your clothes as long as it fully covers your belly. If a greater part of your belly is showing underneath the sweat may drip down. I have had no problems though. great buy!

No, it is very thin and would be perfect. If you are wearing it as a T-shirt, then follow the recommendation of many reviewers and order it 2 sizes too big and you will get a snug-looking fit without the snug-feeling. If you want to wear it in the surf -- strong ocean waves -- then follow the manufacturer's size chart and order your correct size for a very tight compression fit.

I wear it over the clothes @ the gym, over sweat pants and a tank top and then I wear a sweatshirt over that. As soon as Im done working out it comes off and as long as you wash them (they are washable) they should be fine. If not properly cared for then I'm sure anything could happen.

I'm afraid not. It is very cumbersome underneath a shirt and looks almost like a SWAT team member's armor when worn. It is good for training but it will always be obvious that you are wearing it

It can be worn under sweatshirts and long sleeves. I wear it to crossfit every day when i work out and it keeps pressure from my tendon.

You can wear it under clothing, as long as it's loose. I also dropped the shoulder down so the top weight is on the upper abdomen, which helps.

This item is a loose fit garment - I am 6'1" 225 - the XL fits loosely if I'm wearing only a tee shirt under - I also own / wear a 2XL over bulkier (golf / polo) shirts and it fits loosely - What will you wear under? I suggest that you go with 2XL if you'll only wear a Tee shirt under..

Mine is a short sleeve V-neck t-shirt. It's pretty comfortable but I would also like to tell you that I have worn it a lot and don't see any improvement in the pain in my upper back. My pain is from a repetitive motion injury due to 32 years of intense computer work so maybe it just doesn't work for that. Good luck with yours!!

I only wear while walking or working out and it is quite comfortable. It doesn't breath well due to the neoprene so I wouldn't want to wear all day.

You can if you'd like to. I wear mine over my workout capris/pants if they go past my knees and just pull the extra fabric out of the bottom of the knee sleeves. But wearing them under is ok too just makes it more bulky in my opinion under your clothes. I think it slips less too on top of my pants etc.

No. It is for working out and not thick or wide enough. It is like the kind LeBron James wears during a basketball game

No, I wore it under a clothing all the time. With the clothing on top it will feel a bit tight. But after a little while you will get used to it. Hope this answered your question.

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.
