FAQs
What is HeatGear® fabric?
HeatGear® is Under Armour's original performance baselayer fabric. It's designed to be ultra-lightweight, breathable, and to wick sweat away from the body, keeping athletes cool and dry.
Is this shirt suitable for cold weather?
While HeatGear® is designed for regulating body temperature, it is primarily a moisture-wicking layer. For very cold weather, it's best used as a base layer beneath warmer insulating garments.
Can I wear this as a standalone shirt?
Yes, you can wear it as a standalone shirt, especially for training or workouts. However, its primary design is as a performance baselayer.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the Under Armour sizing chart for men's tops. Since this is a compression fit, it should feel snug. If you prefer a looser fit, consider sizing up.
What does 'hybrid raglan sleeve construction' mean?
This refers to a sleeve design that combines elements of a raglan sleeve (seam runs from underarm to collar) with a traditional set-in sleeve. It's engineered to provide enhanced freedom of movement and comfort, particularly around the shoulder area.
Can I use fabric softener with this shirt?
No, it is strongly recommended not to use fabric softeners. Softeners can clog the fabric's fibers, reducing its ability to wick moisture effectively and compromising its performance.
Troubleshooting
Shirt feels too tight or restrictive.
This is a compression fit designed for support. If it feels excessively tight, consider trying a size up. Ensure you are washing and drying according to care instructions, as improper care can affect fabric elasticity.
Sweat is not wicking away effectively.
Check that the garment is clean and free from fabric softener residue, which can impede wicking. Ensure you are not layering too many non-wicking garments over it. Wash with like colors using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners.
Seams are causing irritation.
The ergonomic design aims to minimize irritation. Ensure the garment is oriented correctly and that you are wearing it as intended. If irritation persists, ensure the size is correct and consider if a non-compression fit might be more suitable for your activity.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the performance and longevity of your Under Armour HeatGear® Short Sleeve:
- Machine Wash Cold: Wash with like colors. Using cold water helps preserve the fabric's technical properties.
- Non-Chlorine Bleach: Use only when necessary. Avoid chlorine bleach as it can degrade synthetic fibers.
- Tumble Dry Low: Dry on a low heat setting. High heat can damage the fabric and elastic components.
- Do Not Iron: Ironing can melt or damage the synthetic materials.
- Do Not Use Softeners: Fabric softeners can clog the microfibers, reducing the fabric's ability to wick moisture.
- Do Not Dry Clean: The chemicals used in dry cleaning can be harmful to the garment's performance features.
