👕 Under Armour HeatGear Short Sleeve Compression T-Shirt for Men Review

I'm generally disappointed with how UA has been shrinking lately, with their once signature shiny and ultra-smooth fabric replaced with a new fabric that feels more like cotton. But this shirt in particular is a failure because the seams are so pronounced. As soon as I put it on, I could feel where the greasy seams touched my skin. I haven't trained in it yet and haven't tried it under my shoulder pads to know if it leaks or chafes, but wearing it just standing up I can say the stitching will…

I firmly believe that you get what you pay for. I've used cheaper base layer materials when cycling in the past and found that they don't compress, absorb and dry quickly very well. Until I found Under Armor. Your products are just amazing. The compression works well and keeps its shape for YEARS. I'm still wearing the shirts I bought in 2013, the compression hasn't changed! When measuring I get one size smaller than the size I wear in a standard t-shirt (I'm XL but I can fit in L). It helps me

[UPDATE] I've swum laps in this shirt half a dozen times. The lower edge is torn (you can see the photo of protruding threads), two stars are folded. The situation worsens (the hem comes undone) and the shirt soon becomes unwearable. I'm starting to wonder if this is genuine Under Armor - other UA products I've had haven't had similar issues. Another reason for the downgrading of 5 stars is that this shirt unfortunately chafes. The seam around the cuffs of the short sleeves rubs against the…

Good. The following format for my typical UA messages is: So get rid of that part. When UA first released and became popular in the US, their clothes were HIGH QUALITY. Their stitching was incisive, their quality control was amazing, their materials bled to the touch, and it took me 5 years to finally put on and take off all of my running gear. I was impressed. The price hasn't come down right now, but I'll be impressed if this compression shirt and my 3 new pairs of running shorts survive…

Good. Path. When UA first released and became popular in the US, their clothes were HIGH QUALITY. Their stitching was incisive, their quality control was amazing, their materials bled to the touch, and it took me 5 years to finally put on and take off all of my running gear. I was impressed.

The seams are no longer so concise, the tactile quality of…
