FAQs
What does 'compression fit' mean?
A compression fit means the garment is designed to fit ultratight, like a second skin. This fit helps to support your muscles, reduce muscle vibration, and can enhance blood flow during activity, leading to better performance and recovery.
Can I wear this top in warm weather?
Yes, absolutely. The 'HeatGear' fabric is specifically engineered for warm conditions. It's super-light and features mesh underarm and back panels for strategic ventilation to keep you cool and dry.
How do I properly care for my HeatGear Compression Long Sleeve?
Machine wash cold with like colors. Use only non-chlorine bleach when needed. Tumble dry low. Do not iron, do not use softeners, and do not dry clean. Following these instructions will preserve the garment's performance properties.
Why shouldn't I use fabric softener on this garment?
Fabric softeners can coat the fibers of performance fabrics, clogging the material's ability to wick sweat and dry quickly. This can also trap odors and reduce the overall effectiveness and lifespan of the garment.
Is this top suitable for all types of sports?
Yes, its versatile design makes it suitable for a wide range of athletic activities, including running, gym workouts, team sports, and outdoor training. The sweat-wicking, ventilation, and ergonomic design support varied movements and intensities.
Does this top offer any UV protection?
While the description highlights coverage and cooling, specific UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) information is not provided. It offers physical coverage from the sun, but for prolonged exposure, additional sun protection is recommended.
What are the main materials used in this top?
The body of the top is made from 84% Polyester and 16% Elastane. The mesh panels consist of 92% Polyester and 8% Elastane, offering a balance of durability, stretch, and breathability.
Troubleshooting
The top feels too tight or restrictive.
The HeatGear Compression Long Sleeve is designed with an ultratight, second-skin fit for performance. If you are unaccustomed to compression wear, this sensation is normal. However, if it causes discomfort or restricts breathing, ensure you have selected the correct size according to the Under Armour sizing chart. A larger size might be necessary, or this style may not suit your personal preference for fit.
The fabric seems to retain odors even after washing.
Ensure you are not using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fibers and trap odor-causing bacteria. Wash the garment immediately after use. If odors persist, try using a sports detergent designed to eliminate tough odors from athletic wear. Also, ensure the garment is completely dry before storing.
The top doesn't seem to wick sweat or dry as quickly as expected.
Verify that you are not using fabric softeners during washing, as they are the most common cause of reduced wicking performance. Also, ensure the garment is clean and free from any residue that might be impeding its functionality. For optimal performance, wash cold and tumble dry low.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your HeatGear top. Always refer to the label for the most accurate instructions.
- Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors. This helps preserve fabric integrity and color.
- Bleach: Use only non-chlorine bleach when needed. Chlorine bleach can damage the fabric's elastane content.
- Drying: Tumble dry low. High heat can damage synthetic fibers.
- Ironing: Do not iron. High heat will melt or damage the performance fabric.
- Softener: Do not use softeners. Fabric softeners can clog the fabric's pores, reducing its sweat-wicking capabilities and potentially trapping odors.
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
