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'm 6'1'' 175 lbs, normally wear size large t-shirts, I ordered a large and the shirt is slightly loose uniformly both in the torso and arms. Personally, I like the fit, I've had it for 1-year and have no issues in terms of performance. Hope this helps.

I don't want to discourage you, but I don't think this is a very good idea. I find that the vest doesn't fit that snugly (at least on me) - it bounces and would probably chafe. But I've only tried with a T-shirt underneath. Maybe with another layer or two it might work, but then there's the heat factor. I've been walking briskly on a treadmill (along with doing pushups and pullups) with it and that's works nicely, but I think that running with it might be overly-ambitious. But I could be wrong.

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.

Kind of. The torso area is more fitted so you don't have material bjnching under armor. I wear Large T shirts normally. But I got the XL in this due to the arm length and neck size. I wore XL shirts until recent weight loss dropped me down a size. Best bet is to try them on first.

might be a bit bulky for that, but I just wear it outside because it helps so much. With jeans/pants I wear a shirt over it but, I think for the most part, it would be a bit bulky for under clothes

Yes it is thin enough to be worn under both t-shirts and sweatshirts. As long as the space your working in is not "crowded" by obstacles you can get full arm motion while working out. I needed it primarily because I had bad tendonitis in my upper arm ironically, and needed its help even when swimming. Note: the velcro strap didn't like the chorinated pool water in long workouts, but then I expected that.

The fabric stretches to fit you more so than a normal shirt. I usually wear a large but got a medium so it would be a little more snug than normal. I use it as an undershirt as well as a normal shirt and it is the most comfortable shirt I have ever owned. I have bought four of them total.

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).

Hi Karen I typically wear a sports bra with these tops. I purchased 5 of them. Super comfy...amazing how they wick the sweat away during my runs and work-outs. Sizing is true to size...please keep in mind that it is a more fitted top and is very flattering to the eye. If you don't want your straps to show purchase a racer back bra and "NO" my bra lines don't show.

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!

It comes down to this: What do you normally wear? Think of it like this: If you were going to Walmart to buy a Tshirt-style undershirt to wear under your clothes-a good quality shirt, not some flimsy thing-what size would you buy if you like a snug fit? That's what you want in this. I'm a big guy; I'd normally wear a 3x, but I got a 2x in this, and it works great. If you're talking a full-sized 1911, it is going to be heavy, so you need all the hold you can get. Definitely go for the larger holster! I hope that helps.

I would say that yes, if you are of a medium build, you could wear it discreetly under a shirt. Amazon has a very liberal return policy, so you can easily return it if it doesn't work out for you.

It would be difficult to wear under clothing as the shoulder straps tend to chafe the area under the arms, even when worn on top of clothing. Plus the weights on the back would create a sizeable bump. However, it is still a good product for its purpose.

Yes you can wear this under your clothes. Be sure that the belt covers your belly because if it does not then the sweat will roll downward and will be shown.

It's only noticeable if you wear a tight shirt but a loose or normal size shirt it would not be noticeable and can you can use it for any activities

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.
