FAQs

What is HeatGear® fabric and how does it benefit me?

`HeatGear®` is Under Armour's signature performance fabric designed for warmer temperatures. It's incredibly light, wicks sweat away from your skin, and dries exceptionally fast to keep you cool, dry, and agile during high-intensity activities.

Can I wear this shirt for all types of workouts and sports?

Yes, this shirt is highly versatile and suitable for a broad spectrum of activities, including running, weightlifting, team sports, cycling, and more. Its `moisture-wicking` and `breathable` properties make it an excellent choice for almost any high-exertion activity.

How often should I wash my compression shirt?

It is recommended to wash your compression shirt after every use. This practice helps prevent the accumulation of sweat and bacteria, which can lead to unpleasant odors and gradual degradation of the fabric's performance over time. Always follow the specific care instructions.

Does this shirt offer UV protection?

Info needed: Please consult the product's official specifications or packaging for detailed information on its UV protection rating, if any.

Is this shirt meant to be worn as a base layer or on its own?

The Under Armour HeatGear® Compression Long Sleeve is designed to be versatile for both uses. Many athletes prefer it as a base layer under uniforms or other apparel, while others confidently wear it on its own for training, benefiting from its `superior coverage` and `ergonomic design`.

What is the benefit of the `hybrid raglan sleeve construction`?

The `hybrid raglan sleeve construction` strategically eliminates traditional shoulder seams, extending the sleeve design up to the neckline. This innovative approach provides an increased `range of motion`, minimizes chafing in high-movement areas, and ultimately offers enhanced comfort during dynamic activities.

What kind of material is the shirt made from?

The body of the shirt is made from `84% Polyester` and `16% Elastane`. The mesh panels consist of `92% Polyester` and `8% Elastane`. This blend provides the desired `super-light` feel, `stretch`, `moisture-wicking`, and `breathability`.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels too tight or restrictive during wear.

The shirt is engineered with a compression fit to provide muscle support and enhance performance. If it causes significant discomfort, verify your size against Under Armour's official sizing chart. A slightly larger size might offer a more comfortable level of compression, but it should still feel snug.

Shirt retains sweat odor even after washing.

To prevent odor buildup, wash the garment immediately after each use. Consider using a sports-specific detergent formulated to neutralize odors in synthetic fabrics. Ensure you don't use too much detergent, as residue can trap odors. Always ensure the shirt is completely dry before storing.

Fabric appears to be losing its elasticity or compression over time.

Loss of elasticity is often due to improper care. Ensure you are strictly following the care instructions. High heat during washing or drying is a common cause of damage to `Elastane` fibers. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, which can also degrade the material's structural integrity.

Experiencing chafing during intense or prolonged activity.

While the `ergonomic design` minimizes seams, ensure the garment is worn smoothly without any wrinkles or bunching. A proper, snug fit is vital; if the shirt is too loose, it can move and cause friction. For particularly sensitive areas, consider using an anti-chafing balm.

Care Instructions

Proper care is essential to maintain the performance and longevity of your Under Armour HeatGear® Compression Long Sleeve:

  • Washing: Machine wash cold with similar colors. It is crucial to avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these chemicals can break down the `Polyester` and `Elastane` fibers, compromising the fabric's moisture-wicking and compression properties.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or preferably, hang dry. High heat can damage the synthetic fibers, leading to a loss of elasticity and potentially reducing the garment's lifespan.
  • Ironing: Do not iron. The fabric's composition is not designed for ironing and can be damaged by direct heat.
  • Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
