FAQs
What does 'HeatGear®' mean?
HeatGear® is Under Armour's original base layer technology, designed for cool conditions. It's an ultra-lightweight fabric that wicks sweat and provides superior coverage without adding weight.
What is the primary benefit of the compression fit?
The compression fit is designed to feel like a second skin, providing muscle support, enhancing blood flow, and reducing muscle fatigue during workouts.
Can this long sleeve be worn in hot weather?
Yes, the HeatGear® fabric is designed to be lightweight and moisture-wicking, making it suitable for hot weather. It helps keep you cool and dry by moving sweat away from your skin.

A properly fitting compression garment should feel snug and supportive without restricting breathing or causing discomfort. If you experience significant pinching or cutting off circulation, the size may be too small.

Troubleshooting
Fabric feels clingy or less breathable
Ensure you are not using fabric softeners, as they can impede moisture-wicking. Check that the garment is washed cold with like colors and dried on low heat.
Chafing occurs during intense activity
Verify the correct size is being worn. The ergonomic flatlock seams are designed to prevent chafing, but a size too small can exacerbate pressure points.
Garment loses elasticity over time
Avoid high heat drying and ironing, as these can degrade the elastane fibers. Always follow the recommended care instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment requires no setup as it is ready to wear out of the package. It is compatible with all types of athletic bottoms and outerwear. To maintain its performance and longevity:
- Wash Garment Inside Out: This protects the outer surface and any printed logos.
- Machine Wash Cold with Like Colors: Use a gentle cycle with similar colors to prevent color bleeding.
- Use Only Non-Chlorine Bleach When Needed: Avoid harsh bleaching agents that can damage the fabric.
- Tumble Dry Low: Use a low heat setting to preserve the fabric's elasticity and shape.
- Do Not Iron: Ironing can damage the synthetic fibers and the flatlock seams.
- Do Not Use Softeners: Fabric softeners can clog the fabric's pores, reducing its moisture-wicking capabilities.
- Do Not Dry Clean: Dry cleaning chemicals can degrade the material.
