Could you use this as an undershirt? Would it be extremely noticable? Also is it hot/retain heat?

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.

The fabric is quite thin and can certainly be used in place of an undershirt. It would not be noticeable at all. My husband wore it before our hot weather hit, so I really don't know the answer to whether or not it retains heat. However, given the unqualified recommendation of athletes, I doubt it -- but I don't know.

Yes, you could, although there is a model that LOOKS more like a traditional undershirt. I haven't tried that model. And yes, heavy duty spandex, and it is very warm.

You can see the shirt a little under certain shirts. My son said it doesn't make him hot and he usually gets hot easily.

I don't think it'll be a good knee warmer. Its relatively thin (perhaps to keep cool while you work out). Has the thickness of a beret, or two fleece jackets layered over each other. Very polyester-y in feel as well, so I don't think that traps heat well.

I find that it is a warm blanket even without using the heat elements. I believe it is designed to retain that heat. I don't believe it makes you to hot, but it is a good blanket with or without the heating function...

YES! I found it got very hot sometimes. It stays fairly warm, but I can only recall one time it was actually uncomfortable. For the most part I didn't notice.

Not going to lie- it can get pretty hot. It's stretchy, soft, but thick fabric. But I think that's what makes it such great quality. I don't think it makes me more hot than other carriers (I own four), but having a warm body tied to you can be hot with any carrier. I honestly don't think a different fabric would change that, but it may change the quality of the product.

I just have it on while playing golf however, I could imagine that wearing it while sleeping would be comfortable. I don't think it would be hot or sweaty at all while sleeping.

My son loves his, and has been wearing it as an outer layer over other shirts (tees and turtle necks) this whole fall. I would think biggest issue might be getting too warm once you were indoors. That, and getting a size with some extra room for the layering.

I have no problems with that, I live in the mtns of western nc, so depending on youre house temp would have alot to do with that. However I dont think you will have any problems with keeping cool as long as youre not using a flannel just a regular sheet. Hope this will help you out. JT Asheville NC.

I usually put it on high to start with & lower the temp when I get in bed. It is plenty warm when I get in bed..........but I couldn't say if it was "HOT" or not. I always turn it down. It is of extremely good quality. So very hard for me to answer.

I use these as an undershirt below my bullet proof vest. I don't notice and movement of the shirt and it makes wearing that vest a bit more bearable.

I don't think it would be comfortable. The top isn't sharp per se, but thin and I would imagine it gets fairly hot.

You can wear it over an underware shirt. It is not soft enough over bare skin.

Truthfully I wouldn't recommend it if you get hot easily. This comforter looks light but it's very heavy and very warm. It is a good comforter overall.

You could wear it under a baggy sweater. Wouldn't recommend it against your bare skin. You would definitely chafe everywhere. It fits snug to your body, but still the weights are about an inch and a half thick. Take into account that the canvas is thick, and then there's Velcro flaps and straps. You are adding a few inches to your torso. Even under a baggy sweater, you would look awkward

I am so sorry, i just saw this. I have not really worn it under anything, but my guess is; not a good idea unless rather loose. The wrap itself is amazingly compact and efficient; but does add girth. I may be impractical for other reasons including the cold/heat is only effective for a while, then you'll just have a bulky wrap not really doing anything unless you swap the packs.

i really wouldnt suggest wearing it UNDER clothing, it can be pretty bulky. Maybe a sweatshirt or hoodie might work, but anything more snug would be uncomfortable.

This is only my opinion. It's a Great Product when it comes to heat. As to how and where you want to wear it, just improvise to your personal comfort level. Hope this comment helped a little. Good luck with the settings.... it can get very hot without a towel or...
