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.

Yes, the moisture control & wicking works with this brand. Augusta brand works just as well as the Nike brand & Augusta better priced. Shirt is lightweight & airy & dries up quickly.

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.

I live in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas so it gets pretty hot here, especially with humidity. It was pretty comfortable for me and I suspect it would be comfortable for anyone as long as they don't wear it while going commando and with an undershirt.

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.

Hmm, I know it has kept me plenty dry, warm, and not sweaty and I have given it plenty of action, including violent swims. The neck gasket does leak a tiny bit, which happened a couple of weeks ago at Kilchis River on the SHORE when I got wave after wave of heavy rain dumped on me for a good half hour. Get one of those LL Bean fleece fishing jumpsuits for $50-60 to wear under it, and a sweatshirt to wear between it and the drysuit if it's cold outside, and you will be fine.

The shirt will surely help with its SPF protection, but it feels to me that the shirt adapts to the water temperature quickly. It is a quality shirt. n I found it and shirts like it to be a little difficult to remove after getting out of the water, if they are still wet. Wait fior them to dry (that will be fast), or give him a hand. Good luck.

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!

Your body type is the same as mine. I got the medium and loved it. It has to be super tight or otherwise water gets in there and renders it useless for temperature regulation.

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.
1120964
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.

Not at all that I noticed, just make sure it drys all the way before you put a shirt on and you will be fine

They are very effective at keeping shirts dry. Heads up that they are a bit itchy though. My first son had no problem with it and my second refused to wear them.
507138
yes. Although I would use cold water and expect some shrinkage. It's 100% cotton.

No. The shirt posses no buoyancy, just good for keeping the sun off and preventing any rubbing from snorkel/ scuba gear.
