Under Armour Long Sleeve Training Top - Black - XS

Yes, the HeatGear fabric is designed to keep you cool and dry in warm conditions, acting as a performance baselayer. Its lightweight nature also makes it suitable for layering under heavier garments in cooler weather, providing moisture management close to the skin.

This particular variant is designed for men, but its functional benefits are universal. Women may find the fit different, specifically in the shoulders and chest area. For an optimal fit, we recommend checking Under Armour's women-specific HeatGear options.

HeatGear is Under Armour's original performance fabric innovation, designed to keep athletes cool, dry, and light in warm conditions. It effectively wicks sweat away from the body to the fabric surface where it evaporates quickly.

Fabric softeners can coat the fibers of performance athletic wear, which can reduce their ability to wick away moisture and breathe effectively. This can diminish the shirt's primary performance benefits.

This top features a tight-fit baselayer design, meaning it is intended to fit snugly against the body. When selecting your size, refer to Under Armour's official size chart to ensure the best fit for your measurements.

While the fabric is quick-drying and moisture-wicking, it is not specifically designed as swimwear. Prolonged exposure to chlorinated water or saltwater could potentially impact the fabric's long-term durability or anti-odor properties. It is best suited for land-based activities.

While not explicitly listed as a UV protection garment, synthetic fabrics like polyester and elastane naturally offer some degree of UV blockage. For specific UV protection ratings, please check the product's official specifications or labeling.

While the shirt is highly sweat-wicking, extreme saturation in very intense workouts or humid conditions can occur. Ensure proper ventilation around you during exercise. Also, verify you are following care instructions, as fabric softeners can reduce wicking efficiency. Ensure it's fully dry before storage.

The shirt features anti-odor technology. If odors persist, ensure you are washing immediately after use. You can try pre-soaking the garment in a solution of white vinegar and water (1 part vinegar to 4 parts water) for 30 minutes before machine washing with a mild detergent. Avoid excessive detergent, as residue can trap odors.

This can occur if care instructions are not followed, particularly avoiding fabric softeners and high heat drying. Always tumble dry low and avoid ironing. Continuous exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme heat can degrade the elastane fibers. Consider a gentle cycle wash and air drying if concerned.
