FAQs
What is the primary benefit of HeatGear® fabric?
HeatGear® fabric is designed to be ultra-soft and smooth, offering comfort with very little weight while effectively wicking sweat and drying fast to keep you cool.
What makes NEOLAST™ fibers different from traditional elastane?
NEOLAST™ fibers provide powerful stretch, durability, and comfort with improved wicking. It is designed as a high-performing alternative to elastane, aiming to address sustainability challenges associated with its production.
Is this shirt suitable for all sports?
Yes, the HeatGear® Elite Compression Short Sleeve is designed for high-performance athletic activities, including but not limited to running, weightlifting, cycling, and team sports, due to its moisture-wicking, stretch, and compression features.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the Under Armour official sizing chart available on their website or retail partner sites. Measure your chest and refer to the corresponding size for the best fit.
Can I wear this shirt for casual wear?
While the fabric is comfortable, its primary design is for athletic performance with a compression fit. Some individuals may find it comfortable for casual wear, but its features are optimized for activity.
How does the odor control technology work?
The technology is integrated into the fabric to inhibit the growth of odor-causing microbes, helping to minimize odor during and after physical activity.
What is the material composition?
The shirt is made of 80% Polyester and 20% Elastoester.
Troubleshooting
Shirt feels too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the Under Armour sizing chart. If between sizes, consider the next size up if you prefer a less restrictive fit. Note that this is a compression garment designed for a snug fit.
Fabric loses elasticity quickly
Avoid high heat drying and harsh detergents. Follow the recommended washing and drying instructions carefully. Do not use fabric softeners, as they can degrade performance fabrics.
Chafing occurs during intense activity
Verify the seams are properly aligned with your body's natural movement. For extreme sensitivity, consider wearing a base layer underneath or trying a different fit type (e.g., regular fit instead of compression).
Odor persists after washing
Use a sports-specific detergent or a pre-soak in a vinegar-water solution before washing. Ensure the garment is thoroughly rinsed and dried.
