FAQs
Is this top suitable for cold weather?
The HeatGear line is primarily designed for warm to hot conditions; for cold weather, consider the Under Armour ColdGear line.
What does compression fit mean?
A compression fit is ultra-tight, acting like a second skin to provide muscle support and improve blood flow during activity.
Can I wear this as a standalone shirt?
While it is designed as a baselayer, it can be worn alone; however, the compression fit is very form-fitting and revealing.
How do I choose the right size?
Since this is a compression garment, it is designed to be tight. If you are between sizes, consider your preference for tightness, but generally, stick to your standard size for the intended compression effect.
Does the fabric prevent chafing?
Yes, the ergonomic seam design is specifically engineered to move seams away from high-friction areas to minimize irritation.
Troubleshooting
Garment losing elasticity over time
Avoid using heat in the dryer or high-heat ironing, and ensure you are not using fabric softeners that degrade synthetic fibers.
Persistent odor after washing
Ensure you are using a sports-specific laundry detergent designed to penetrate synthetic fabrics and strip away oils that cause odors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your compression gear maintains its elasticity and performance, follow these care instructions. Machine wash cold with like colors to prevent dye transfer. Use only non-chlorine bleach when needed. Tumble dry on low settings, though air drying is recommended to extend the life of the compression fibers. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can leave a residue on the moisture-wicking technology, reducing its effectiveness over time. Ironing is not recommended as heat can damage the integrity of the synthetic materials.
