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.

I have them both, and like them both. The ultra is a bit thicker, and (thus) gives you negligibly more compression: good. But I find the regular to be more comfortable. The top band of the ultra binds a bit. I'm more of a walker than a runner, and I find that wearing EITHER the regular or the ultra makes a difference: my legs and feet just don't get tired and achy. Someone who runs and has trouble with shin splints, etc, may prefer the ultra.

yes they fit snug if you have the right size. not sure if you will get the purpose out of these shirts being worn under uniform. not made for that to have the comfy cooling abilitys of the shirt. may be hotter.? id buy one and test it. i also ended up trying a couple of these shirts and went with the gildan performance. poly shirts. best work shirt ever! (with shirt only)

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.

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.

It doesn't hurt to be a little loose so others can use it if they are larger than you. However, if you plan to use it a lot the luxury of having a perfect fit Obrien is certainly nice, until you gain weight. I'd go with a large if I was you, even though you sound like a medium.

The crew neck is looser than kirkland shirts I picked up from cosco. They are no tighter on the body

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.

No, these shirts are a true fit, I purchased the large and it was fits perfectly.

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.

It's more compression in that it's snug fitting (to show off that Under Armour body!) It is not compression like compression shorts or cycling shorts. I wouldn't be surprised if UA offers a line of apparel like what you're looking for, but the Heatgear line probably won't do what you're wanting.

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 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.

For 42, I did xxl and I had a very comfortable/loose fit. For length, you have specific length options.

I'm about the same build, a little shorter, but roughly 240 and 36 waist...My recent purchase of KW products were all 2x and as far as shirts fit quite snug...Ultimately your decision, but I think the large may be a bit uncomfortable for you.

I wouldn't say they are loose fit, but they are definetly not tight fit. I'm not a muscle bound guy. I've got a little guy, and I feel quite comfortable wearing it. Fits like a comfortable t-shirt. Hope that helps

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.
