I prefer a more form fitting shirt - but was wondering if the shirt gets hot when not wet and hence a larger shirt is more likely to stay cool?

I have no idea. I like a loose fitting shirt so I bought an extra large when I would have taken a large. I only used the shirt at an indoor pool and when I got out of the water I was chilly.

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.

Form fitting is definately better. I have not found the shirt to be hot but if you are concerned about it, you should order a white shirt that reflects the sun.

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 don't know, we live in Oklahoma where it is very hot and humid in the summer and my husband prefers his when out working a lot. He had owned one previously and lost it and really wanted another. I got two, and he once again is wearing his all the time.

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.

For motorcycle Rides I think they will work well because you are moving and it will keep you cool, I have used this at the beach during a windy day and it works great.. I love this shirt I get complements every whenever I wear it...

Mine is an inch smaller than yours and I use a medium it is pretty snug, but I like it that way. I also have a Large and it stays on ok once I get a sweat. I would not go smaller than a large for you. They work fantastic for me, I don't think you will be disapointed

The material is lightweight, so it shouldn't be too bad in hot temperatures. However it doesn't breathe well like cotton fabric, so it could get sweaty.

I wear mine in the Atlanta area and have had no problems with being hotter while wearing this. It does run small for a man though.

I would recommend wearing a lightweight long sleeve shirt instead. These are quite thick, and most comfortable when getting wet.

Actually, the larger size moves more water to the misters and would allow more pressure at the mister end and if the misters are larger then more spray. Whether more mist creates more cool is debatable and even on that note, suggestion is to buy the larger size.

It does run true to size. Being a water-resistent outer layer of clothing, expect it to be built to intentionally have enough room to fit over base, second and and perhaps a medium weight outer layer. Now, if worn in hot weather with only a t-shirt underneath, it may be a bit loose-fit.

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

i'm 5'10, 185-190 lbs and wear this in a large. i would say it runs true to size but also it is longer than your average shirt (like hanes or FOTL). it's good if you wear it as an undershirt, as it won't untuck nearly as easily as those other brands. it's a higher quality shirt, too, imo. the only other shirt i like as much is the hanes beefy T but those are a little more expensive.

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.

By and large it is quite cool unless it is very hot. I usually put a fan on and it is not so bad. Hope this helps.

I would definitely go with a large. These shirts are VERY form fitting. I wear a small tshirt, and the med fit fairly snug.

I'm 6' 3", 208 lbs., average build (no huge chest and no belly) and a LARGE fits me perfectly. According to the UA website, this is a "loose" fit t-shirt and is very comfortable and ideal for staying dry and cool while playing sports, running, or just wearing around the house. UA's size chart says guys around our size should be wearing a large (http://www.underarmour.com/shop/us/en/size-charts) unless of course you have a larger chest or waist area than the chart suggests, then you might need an XL. Good luck!
