FAQs
What is HeatGear fabric?
HeatGear is Under Armour's original performance base layer fabric, designed to keep athletes cool, dry, and light. It's engineered for warmer temperatures or high-intensity workouts.
What does 'Compression' mean in the product title?
Compression refers to the fit of the garment. It's designed to be ultra-tight, like a second skin, to support muscles and potentially aid in recovery.
Can I wear this t-shirt for everyday casual wear?
While comfortable, the compression fit and performance-oriented fabric are best suited for athletic activities. It can be worn casually, but its primary benefits are realized during exercise.
How do I know what size to order?
Refer to the Under Armour sizing chart for men's apparel. Since this is a compression fit, it should be snug. If you prefer a less tight feel, consider ordering one size up.
Is this shirt suitable for very cold weather?
This HeatGear shirt is designed for cooling and moisture management, making it ideal for warmer conditions or as a base layer under other gear in cooler weather. For extreme cold, consider Under Armour's ColdGear products.
What is the benefit of the hybrid raglan sleeve construction?
This construction allows for greater freedom of movement and comfort across the shoulders and arms, reducing restriction during dynamic activities.
How does the moisture-wicking feature work?
The fabric is engineered to draw moisture (sweat) away from your skin and disperse it across the fabric's surface, where it can then evaporate more quickly, keeping you dry.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels sticky or less breathable after washing.
Ensure you are not using fabric softeners. If fabric softener was accidentally used, re-wash the garment with a small amount of vinegar in the rinse cycle, then tumble dry on low heat. Avoid chlorine bleach.
Seams are causing irritation.
Verify you have the correct size. The ergonomic design places seams to minimize irritation, but an incorrect size can exacerbate this. Ensure the garment is not inside out, which could expose less smooth seams.
Material feels too tight or restrictive.
This is a compression-fit garment designed for a snug feel. If it feels excessively tight or painful, consider trying a size up. Remember, the intention is a second-skin fit.
