FAQs
What is HeatGear fabric?
HeatGear is Under Armour's original performance fabric designed to keep you cool, dry, and light. It's built for warm weather and intense activity, actively wicking sweat away from your skin to help regulate body temperature.
How does the anti-odour technology work?
The anti-odour technology in this top works by preventing the growth of odour-causing microbes. This helps the fabric stay fresh longer, even during strenuous activity, reducing the need for frequent washing (though proper hygiene is always recommended).
Can I wear this top for any sport?
Yes, the Heat Gear Compression LS is highly versatile. Its sweat-wicking properties, ventilation, and freedom of movement make it suitable for a wide range of sports and training activities, including running, gym workouts, team sports, and as a base layer.
Is this top suitable for cold weather?
While HeatGear is designed for warm conditions, the compression fit and moisture-wicking properties can make it an excellent base layer in cooler weather. It will keep you dry, which is crucial for staying warm, but for very cold conditions, you would need additional insulating layers.
What does 'compression fit' mean?
Compression fit means the garment is designed to be ultratight, providing a 'second-skin' feel. This fit offers muscle support, helps reduce muscle vibration, and contributes to a streamlined feel during performance.
How do I properly wash and care for this top?
Machine wash cold with like colours. Use non-chlorine bleach when needed. Tumble dry low. Do not iron, use fabric softeners, or dry clean. Avoiding softeners is particularly important to maintain the fabric's wicking performance.
What materials is the top made from?
The body of the top is made from 84% polyester and 16% elastane. The mesh panels, which provide targeted ventilation, consist of 92% polyester and 8% elastane.
Can I personalize the locker tag?
Yes, the locker tag on the back neck is specifically included for you to add your initials or numbers, allowing for easy personalization of your gear.
Troubleshooting
Garment retains an odour even after washing.
Ensure you are washing the garment promptly after use. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can sometimes trap odors. Consider using a sports-specific detergent formulated to tackle tough odors in technical fabrics. The anti-odour technology helps, but proper washing is still essential.
The top feels too tight or restrictive during movement.
This top is designed with an ultratight compression fit, which provides a 'second-skin' feel for muscle support. If this level of compression is uncomfortable, consider trying an Under Armour top with a 'fitted' or 'loose' fit for a different experience. Ensure you have the correct size according to the sizing chart.
The fabric seems to lose its sweat-wicking effectiveness over time.
The most common cause for reduced wicking performance is the use of fabric softeners. Softeners can leave a residue that clogs the fabric's pores, hindering its ability to move moisture. Always follow the care instructions: do not use softeners. Also, ensure the garment is thoroughly rinsed during washing.
The seams cause irritation or rubbing during activity.
The ergonomic design aims to keep seams away from high abrasion areas. If you're experiencing irritation, check the fit to ensure it's not too small, which could cause seams to pull uncomfortably. Ensure the garment is worn smoothly without bunching. If persistent, consider if your activity involves specific movements that might be causing unusual friction.
