FAQs

What is HeatGear® fabric?

HeatGear® is Under Armour's original base layer technology, designed to keep athletes cool, dry, and light. It's built for warmer temperatures or high-intensity workouts.

Is this shirt suitable for cold weather?

While it can be worn as a base layer in cooler conditions, its primary function is cooling and ventilation. For significant warmth, consider Under Armour's ColdGear® line.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The HeatGear Compression shirt is designed for a snug, locked-in feel. It should compress your muscles without restricting movement. Refer to the brand's sizing chart and consider the slim-fit design.

Can I wear this for casual activities?

Yes, its comfort and moisture-wicking properties make it suitable for casual wear, especially during warmer weather or after workouts.

What does 'hybrid raglan sleeve construction' mean?

This construction combines features of traditional raglan sleeves with others to enhance the range of motion and comfort, particularly around the shoulder and arm areas.

What are the main benefits of the compression fit?

The compression fit helps to support muscles, potentially reducing fatigue and improving blood flow. It also provides a streamlined feel and ensures the fabric stays close to the skin for optimal moisture-wicking.

Are there other color and size options available?

Yes, Under Armour offers this HeatGear Compression Short Sleeve in a variety of colors and sizes. Please check the product listings for available options.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels sticky or retains odor after washing.

Ensure you are using cold water, avoiding fabric softeners, and that the garment is fully dry before storing. Non-chlorine bleach can be used sparingly if needed.

Seams feel uncomfortable or cause irritation.

Verify you are wearing the correct size. The ergonomic design aims to minimize irritation, but a size mismatch can alter seam placement relative to your body.

Garment has lost its elasticity or compression feel.

This may occur over extended periods of heavy use or improper washing. Avoid high heat drying and harsh detergents.

Mesh panels are not providing enough ventilation.

Ensure the mesh panels are clean and free of sweat or dirt buildup, which can impede airflow. Check that the garment fits properly, as a too-tight fit can restrict airflow.
