FAQs

What is HeatGear fabric?

HeatGear is Under Armour's original base layer designed to be worn in warm weather or as a base layer in cooler weather. It's engineered to be super-lightweight, wick sweat, and keep you cool.

Is this shirt suitable for all sports?

Yes, the shirt is designed for a wide range of athletic activities due to its lightweight, breathable, and moisture-wicking properties. Its compression fit is particularly beneficial for performance and recovery.

How do I care for my HeatGear shirt?

Machine wash cold with like colors. Avoid bleach, ironing, and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat.

What does 'compression fit' mean?

A compression fit is designed to be snug and close to the body, providing muscle support and a locked-in feel. It's engineered to enhance performance and aid in recovery.

Will this shirt keep me warm in cold weather?

While it can be used as a base layer in cooler weather, the HeatGear line is primarily designed for warmth and breathability in warm conditions. For very cold weather, Under Armour offers ColdGear products.

What is the primary benefit of the mesh panels?

The mesh underarm and back panels provide strategic ventilation, allowing for enhanced airflow to keep you cool and comfortable during intense workouts.

Troubleshooting

Shirt feels too tight.

This is a compression fit shirt. Ensure you have selected the correct size. If it remains too tight, consider a different fit type or brand.

Poor moisture-wicking performance.

Ensure the garment is not overloaded with fabric softener, which can impede wicking. Wash with similar performance fabrics and avoid high heat drying.

Seams are causing irritation.

Verify the shirt is being worn correctly, with seams aligned as intended by the ergonomic design. Ensure the size is appropriate; an overly tight fit can exacerbate friction.
