FAQs
What is HeatGear® technology?
HeatGear® is Under Armour's original base layer technology. It's engineered to keep athletes cool, dry, and light. The super-light fabric delivers superior coverage without weighing you down.
Is this shirt suitable for cold weather?
While it provides excellent moisture management in any condition, HeatGear® is primarily designed for warmer weather or as a base layer that manages heat. For cold weather, Under Armour offers ColdGear® products.
Can I wear this as an outer layer?
This shirt is designed as a compression base layer. While it can be worn as an outer layer, its primary function is to be worn next to the skin for optimal performance benefits.
How do I know if I have the right size compression shirt?
A properly fitting compression shirt should feel snug and supportive, like a second skin, without restricting breathing or causing significant discomfort. It should not have excessive loose areas.
Does the anti-odour technology wash out?
The anti-odour technology is designed to be durable and lasts the lifetime of the garment with proper care. Avoiding fabric softeners helps maintain its effectiveness.
What materials is this t-shirt made of?
The main body is made of 84% Polyester and 16% Elastane. The mesh panels for ventilation are 92% Polyester and 8% Elastane.
Can this shirt be worn for sports other than running or gym workouts?
Yes, this shirt is versatile and suitable for almost any sport or activity that involves physical exertion, including cycling, basketball, soccer, tennis, and more, due to its moisture-wicking and supportive properties.
Troubleshooting
T-shirt feels too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. While designed for a compression fit, if it feels excessively restrictive, consider trying a size up or a different Under Armour fit type (e.g., 'Fitted' or 'Loose').
Sweat is not wicking effectively.
Check that the garment is clean. Residue from fabric softeners or detergents can impede moisture-wicking. Re-wash following the care instructions without softeners. Ensure the garment is not overloaded in the washing machine.
Seams are causing irritation.
Verify the fit is correct. The ergonomic design places seams to minimize abrasion, but an incorrect size or improper wear can still lead to discomfort. Ensure the shirt is pulled on smoothly without bunching.
Garment lost its shape after washing.
Avoid high heat in the dryer. Always use the tumble dry low setting or air dry. High temperatures can degrade the elasticity of the fabric over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This t-shirt requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. It is designed to be worn as a base layer, making it compatible with a wide range of athletic shorts, pants, and outerwear. For best results and to maintain the fabric's performance properties, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with like colours. Always use a mild detergent.
- Bleaching: Use only non-chlorine bleach when needed. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the fabric's microfibers and reduce its moisture-wicking capabilities.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting or hang dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the synthetic fibers.
- Ironing: Do not iron. The fabric does not require ironing and heat can damage it.
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean, as the chemicals used can degrade the performance materials.
