FAQs
What is HeatGear fabric, and how does it work?
HeatGear is Under Armour's original performance fabric, designed for warm weather to keep athletes cool, dry, and light. It's a super-light, breathable material that wicks sweat away from the body and dries quickly, helping to regulate your body temperature in high-heat conditions.
Is this long sleeve suitable for cold weather training?
No, the HeatGear Compression Long Sleeve is specifically designed for warm weather and intense activity where cooling and moisture-wicking are paramount. For cold weather training, Under Armour offers ColdGear products which are designed to keep you warm.
Why shouldn't I use fabric softener with this garment?
Fabric softeners can leave a coating on performance fabrics that clogs the fibers, reducing their ability to wick moisture and dry quickly. This can diminish the effectiveness of the garment's key features.
What does 'compression' mean for this garment?
Compression fit means the garment is designed to fit very snugly against your skin. This provides a supportive, 'second-skin' feel that can help reduce muscle vibration, improve blood flow, and enhance proprioception (your body's awareness in space).
Can I wear this long sleeve for casual use?
While primarily designed for athletic performance, you can certainly wear it casually if you enjoy the compression fit and style. However, its main benefits are realized during physical activity.
What is the locker tag for?
The locker tag on the back of the neck is a practical feature designed for personalization. You can write your name or initials on it, which is especially useful for athletes sharing locker rooms or for easy identification among similar gear.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels uncomfortably tight or restrictive.
This is a compression garment, designed to fit snugly to support muscles. If it feels excessively tight or causes discomfort, double-check your size against Under Armour's sizing chart. If within your size range, allow a few wears to get accustomed to the compression feel. For those who prefer a looser fit, consider non-compression athletic wear.
The fabric doesn't seem to wick sweat effectively anymore.
Residual fabric softener can reduce the material's wicking capability. Ensure you are not using fabric softener during washing. If the issue persists, try washing the garment with a sports-specific detergent designed to remove build-up from performance fabrics, followed by an extra rinse cycle.
Fabric appears damaged or stretched after washing.
Review the care instructions carefully. High heat during washing or drying (e.g., hot water, high tumble dry setting) can damage synthetic fibers. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning. Always wash cold with like colors and tumble dry low.
Stitching or seams are becoming undone prematurely.
While the ergonomic design aims to prevent this, inspect for any sharp objects or rough surfaces that might have snagged the garment during wear or washing. Always wash with like items (avoid items with zippers or velcro that can cause abrasion). If the issue persists with normal use and care, contact customer support.

Care Instructions (Critical for Longevity):
Proper care is essential to maintain the performance and durability of your HeatGear garment. Always refer to the care label inside the garment.
- Machine Wash Cold: Wash with like colors to prevent color bleeding.
- Use Only Non-Chlorine Bleach When Needed: Chlorine bleach can damage the fabric's integrity and performance properties.
- Tumble Dry Low: High heat can degrade elastic fibers and affect the garment's shape and compression. Avoid high heat.
- Do Not Iron: Ironing can melt or damage the synthetic fibers.
- Do Not Use Fabric Softeners: Fabric softeners can clog the pores of moisture-wicking fabrics, reducing their ability to wick sweat effectively and dry quickly.
- Do Not Dry Clean: Dry cleaning chemicals can be too harsh for the fabric.
