FAQs

What is HeatGear® fabric?

HeatGear® is Under Armour's original base layer designed to keep athletes cool, dry, and light. It's engineered to be worn in temperatures ranging from warm to hot.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

The shirt is designed for a compression fit, meaning it should feel snug but not restrict movement. Consult the brand's sizing chart and consider your preferred fit. If you are between sizes, you may want to size up for a less compressive feel.

Can I wear this shirt in cold weather?

While it can be worn as a base layer in cooler conditions, HeatGear® is primarily designed for warmer weather or intense workouts where overheating is a concern. For cold weather, consider Under Armour's ColdGear® line.

How does the hybrid raglan sleeve benefit performance?

The hybrid raglan construction allows for a greater range of motion in the shoulders and arms compared to traditional set-in sleeves, which is beneficial for activities involving overhead movements or throwing.

What does 'superior coverage without weighing you down' mean?

It means the fabric is thin and light enough not to add bulk, yet it provides full coverage of the torso and arms, so you feel protected and comfortable without feeling heavy or restricted.

Can I use fabric softener with this shirt?

No, Under Armour specifically advises against using fabric softeners, as they can impede the moisture-wicking properties of the HeatGear® fabric.

Is this shirt suitable for everyday wear?

While comfortable, this shirt is engineered for athletic performance. Its compression fit and moisture-wicking features are best utilized during physical activity. However, many find it comfortable enough for casual wear.

Troubleshooting

Shirt feels too tight or constrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the compression fit is not preferred, consider trying a non-compression HeatGear® model. The material does offer some stretch, so it should adapt slightly with wear.

Sweat is not wicking effectively

Verify that fabric softeners or dryer sheets were not used during washing, as these can clog the fabric's wicking properties. Ensure the garment is not overly saturated; light to moderate sweat should be managed effectively.

Seams are causing irritation

The ergonomic design aims to minimize this, but if irritation persists, ensure the garment is properly oriented and consider if the compression level is suitable for your sensitivity. Double-check that the care instructions, particularly avoiding ironing, have been followed.
