Full details

FAQs
What does 'HeatGear' mean?
HeatGear is Under Armour's original performance baselayer, designed to keep you cool, dry, and light in warm conditions. It's meant to be worn in temperatures above 75°F (24°C), effectively wicking sweat away from the body.
Is this top suitable for cold weather?
No, HeatGear is specifically engineered for warm weather or intense activity where overheating is a concern. For cold weather, Under Armour offers their 'ColdGear' line, which provides insulation.
Can I wear this top casually?
While primarily designed as a performance baselayer, its sleek look allows it to be worn on its own for training or casual athletic wear, though its ultratight compression fit might be more noticeable.
How do I choose the correct size for a compression fit?
For compression, you generally want a snug fit that feels like a 'second skin' without restricting movement or causing discomfort. Refer to Under Armour's specific size chart, often based on chest and waist measurements, for the most accurate recommendation.
What is the material composition?
The main body is 84% polyester and 16% elastane. The mesh panels are 92% polyester and 8% elastane, providing flexibility and strategic ventilation.
Will this shirt protect me from the sun?
While the long sleeves provide physical coverage, specific UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) ratings are not provided in the product description. For explicit sun protection, look for products that specify UPF ratings.
Can I wear this for swimming?
While the fabric is quick-drying, this top is not specifically designed as swimwear. Its compression fit and fabric blend are optimized for land-based athletic performance rather than chlorine resistance or competitive swimming.
Why shouldn't I use fabric softener?
Fabric softeners can clog the pores of technical fabrics like HeatGear, reducing their ability to wick away moisture and dry quickly. They can also break down the fabric's elastic fibers over time and trap odors.
Troubleshooting
Top feels too tight or restrictive
The HeatGear top features an ultratight compression fit. If this is uncomfortable, consider trying a size up or a different Under Armour fit type (e.g., fitted or loose). Ensure you are wearing the correct size according to the size guide.
Sweat is not wicking away effectively
Ensure the garment is clean, as fabric softeners or excessive residue can impact wicking performance. Always wash according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners. Also, ensure it's not being worn over other layers that might impede direct contact with the skin.
Lingering odor after washing
The top has anti-odor technology, but persistent odor can occur if not washed promptly after heavy use. Try washing with a sports-specific detergent designed to remove tough odors. Ensure no fabric softener is used, as it can trap odor-causing bacteria.
