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.

If I were you I would get the large. That's what I got and you can still tighten it. It works fine. I use it often and it helps my hip and lower back as well.

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 would say that I am on the Shorter size (5.6) and have broader shoulders than they rest. It seems to fit me well. Hope all works for you. Overall, it also it awesome. I wore mine today in fact. Terrible down pours, work shirt stayed dry as a bone.

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.

I am not sure which would be better. What I can say is that there would be no way to loosen it up if it was snug, but if it is loose it wouldn't give the support either. I have a medium and I wear a size l in tops, I feel that I have fairly broad shoulders and I like the way mine feels. I also wear mine over my clothes and sometimes a sweatshirt. Hope this helps.

I am 6'4 and 230lbs. I wear the L and it is really tight as it is supposed to be. those are compression shirts!

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..

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

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.

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.

Comfort is something that you can control. I keep mine breathable while im at work, bht when im working out at home i tighten it up when im running. pushups and situps. So there is not real suggestion on compression, just adjust it to your comfort and exercise. Im running a medium via the size chart too and it is a little snug as well.

Shirt was for my son. He said it comes a little small and form fitting but he wanted it tight. Hope that help.

True to sized. My husband wears a medium in all ua shirts. He has a bunch of cotton charged, a few of the other and polos too & all are med. In other brand shirts, he is a med or large( if cut small). . His med cotton charged fit well.

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.

I am a 2x shirt and the 2x v neck works well for me . Size seems to run true . Enjoy , I am

my husband says he hasn't noticed anything different, but he only wears it when he's doing jobs that require lifting or twisting. my friend (who bought one to help her recover from fractured pelvis & ribs) says her therapist told her not to wear it all the time....for the reasons you mentioned. so....i quess if you wore it lots, it would weaken your abs, because you wouldn't be using them. hope that all makes sense :)
