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.

My husband is hot natured and he loves this t-shirt under his work uniform.

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

I only wore it around the pool in Palm Springs. It's not form fitting, at least the size I got for myself but I don't like them to fit that way...but no issues with the shirt getting hot.Hope that helps. Ps. lots of compliments on the "look" of the shirt.

This shirt will not stop you from swimming, and assuming your arms move normally without the shirt, they should function just as well with this shirt on. However, I should caution that this shirt will NOT cure your arms if they do not currently move normally, nor will it teach you to swim if you are currently unable.A more serious answer, this shirt feels great, like a typical base layer shirt that is a bit snug.

This shirt is light weight, it will definitely keep you warm and dry. I work outside in all weather conditions at a golf course and this is my third shirt of this type.

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.

The WWP shirt is made from UA Charged, which is a cotton/heat gear blend. It doesn't perform exactly like my Heat Gear shirts when sweating but it does far exceed a pure cotton t-shirt in that it doesn't get/stay damp and clammy. Size is true to form; I wear an XXL, this one fit great new and hasn't shrunk at all from several washings.

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!

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.

Sorry, but I don't know the answer to this question, as I just started purchasing UA garments. They fit me great and I'm round 10-15 lbs overweight. I imagine if I lost my xtra pounds, the shirts would be a "relaxed" fit. My guns are big, too--the arms fit snug on my 18" upper arms. Hope this helps! :-)

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

Its made with a heavy cotton like outer so it would absorb a significant amount of water if it got wet. This bag is awesome but is a thick heavy beast so drying it out if it got very wet would take quite some time. These are just guesses based on how the bag feels but id keep it dry....... who wants to sleep in a wet bag any way? By the way when they say -25 degreese i think they mean it, this thing is freakin warm! :) i am also very pleased with the construction of the bag. Highly recomended. If you dont plan to be in arctic temps i would lean toward buying the zero degree version of this bag instead.

This shirt is designed for warm weather, as it has many different ventilation flaps to help air circulate. It would make for a great hiking shirt on warm hot days, as it keeps you cool and does not hold any type of sweat. It is very thin and lightweight.

It's a little hot... but it works fine. I wear XL and this one fits too big. Hope this helps.

This shirt is a rash guard. It is very thin, not neoprene, with no insulation factors whatsoever. I use to to protect from sun and to keep BCD from rubbing. I am a Master Diver and have logged many dives with this. It would be appropriate for warm tropical diving to protect from chafing, but will not keep you warm.

yes. Although I would use cold water and expect some shrinkage. It's 100% cotton.

Yeah it would be way to hot I sweat to death in about 60 degree weather running around with it on, get under armour heat gear base layer or nike pro combat
