FAQs
What does 'HeatGear®' mean?
HeatGear® is Under Armour's original base layer, designed to keep athletes cool, dry, and light. It's ideal for workouts in temperatures ranging from moderate to very hot.
Is this shirt suitable for all sports?
Yes, the HeatGear® Compression Short Sleeve is suitable for a wide range of athletic activities, including running, cycling, gym workouts, team sports, and more, due to its lightweight, moisture-wicking, and stretch properties.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
The garment should fit snugly like a second skin, providing compression without restricting breathing or movement. Refer to the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements.
Can I wear this as a standalone shirt?
Yes, it can be worn as a standalone shirt, especially in warmer weather or during intense workouts. It also functions effectively as a base layer under other apparel in cooler conditions.
What is the difference between compression and regular fit?
Compression fit is designed to be very snug, offering muscle support and potentially aiding recovery. A regular fit is looser and more relaxed.
How does the 4-way stretch benefit my workout?
The 4-way stretch allows the fabric to move with your body in all directions, providing maximum freedom of movement and preventing the garment from pulling or restricting during dynamic exercises.
Can this shirt be used for swimming?
While it is water-wicking, this garment is not designed as swimwear. It may not provide the necessary coverage or material properties for prolonged water immersion.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the fit is still too compressive, consider a different fit style or size up if preferred.
Fabric is not wicking sweat effectively
Check care instructions; fabric softeners or improper washing can impede wicking. Ensure the garment is not excessively worn or damaged.
Seams are causing irritation
Verify the garment is being worn correctly. The ergonomic flatlock seams are designed to minimize irritation, but ensure no debris is caught in the seams and that the fit is appropriate.
Material feels rough after washing
Avoid fabric softeners and high heat drying. Wash inside out in cold water and tumble dry on low heat.
