FAQs
What does 'HeatGear' mean?
HeatGear is Under Armour's original performance fabric, designed to keep you cool, dry, and light during warm weather or intense activity. It works by wicking sweat away from your body and promoting evaporation.
How should a compression shirt fit?
A compression shirt should fit very snugly, like a 'second skin.' It should hug your body without digging in or restricting your movement. If it feels loose, you may need a smaller size to get the full benefit of compression.
Can I wear this shirt for everyday use, or is it only for working out?
While designed for performance and exercise, you can certainly wear the HeatGear Compression Long-Sleeve T-Shirt for everyday activities if you prefer the fit and feel. Many people use it as a comfortable base layer or simply for its moisture-wicking properties in daily life.
Does the compression really help with performance or recovery?
Compression wear is believed by many athletes to help improve blood flow, reduce muscle vibration, and potentially aid in muscle recovery by reducing soreness. While individual results vary, the snug fit provides a supportive feel during activity.
What is the 'write-in locker tag' for?
The write-in locker tag on the back of the neck allows you to personalize your shirt with your initials or number. This is particularly useful for athletes or in team settings to easily identify your gear.
Is this shirt suitable for cold weather?
The HeatGear fabric is designed for warm weather or intense activity to keep you cool. For cold weather, Under Armour offers ColdGear products which are specifically designed to trap heat and keep you warm.
What material is this shirt made of?
This shirt is made from Polyester, a synthetic fiber known for its durability, moisture-wicking properties, and quick-drying capabilities, making it ideal for athletic wear.
Troubleshooting
Shirt feels uncomfortably tight or restrictive.
The HeatGear Compression fit is designed to be ultra-tight. Ensure you have the correct size; consult the Under Armour sizing chart. If the size is correct but it still feels too restrictive, you might prefer a different fit (e.g., fitted or loose) in the HeatGear range.
Fabric seems to retain odor after washing.
Wash the shirt immediately after use to prevent bacteria growth. Use a sports-specific detergent designed for technical fabrics, as these often contain enzymes to break down odor-causing residues. Avoid using too much detergent, which can leave residue, and ensure a thorough rinse.
Fabric appears to be pilling or showing wear prematurely.
Pilling can occur from friction. Always wash the shirt inside out with similar smooth fabrics to minimize abrasion. Avoid washing with items that have zippers, velcro, or rough textures. Ensure you are not exposing the shirt to excessively abrasive surfaces during workouts.

- Team Sports: Provides comfort and support under uniforms for sports like football, basketball, or soccer.
- Outdoor Activities: Suitable for hiking or other outdoor pursuits where temperature regulation and moisture management are key.
Care:
Proper care will maintain the performance and longevity of your HeatGear shirt. Follow these guidelines:
- Machine Wash Cold: Use a gentle cycle with similar colors.
- Do Not Use Bleach or Fabric Softeners: Bleach can damage the fabric's properties, and fabric softeners can clog the pores of performance fabrics, reducing their wicking ability.
- Tumble Dry Low or Hang Dry: For best results and to extend the life of the garment, hang dry. If using a dryer, select a low heat setting. High heat can damage the elastic fibers and fabric structure.
- Do Not Iron: Ironing can damage the specialized HeatGear fabric.
- Do Not Dry Clean.
