FAQs

What is NEOLAST™ fiber?

NEOLAST™ is an innovative fiber developed by Under Armour that offers powerful stretch, durability, and comfort, functioning as a high-performing alternative to traditional elastane with a focus on sustainability.

How does the compression fit benefit athletes?

The compression fit is designed to provide muscle support, reduce fatigue, and enhance blood flow, potentially aiding in recovery and performance. It also offers a snug, second-skin feel that minimizes distractions.

Can I wear this shirt in cold weather?

While HeatGear® is designed for warm conditions to keep you cool, its moisture-wicking properties can also help regulate temperature in cooler weather by preventing sweat buildup. For very cold conditions, consider layering with other apparel.

Is this shirt suitable for sensitive skin?

The HeatGear® fabric is ultra-soft and smooth. The ergonomic design places seams away from high-abrasion areas, which can benefit individuals with sensitive skin by reducing irritation.

How often should I replace this shirt?

The lifespan of the shirt depends on usage frequency and care. With proper washing and regular wear, you can expect it to maintain its performance features for several seasons. Signs of wear, such as thinning fabric or loss of elasticity, indicate it may be time for replacement.

What does '4-way stretch' mean for the garment?

4-way stretch means the fabric can be stretched in all four directions – lengthwise and widthwise – allowing for a greater range of motion and a fit that adapts to your body's movements without restriction.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels stiff or less soft after washing.

Avoid using fabric softeners and ensure you are using the correct wash cycle and detergent. Tumble dry on low heat.

Compression feels too tight.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the fit is still uncomfortable, consider an alternative product with a less aggressive fit, such as a loose-fit or regular-fit shirt.

Moisture-wicking performance seems reduced.

Check for residue buildup from detergents or fabric softeners. Wash the garment again with a minimal amount of mild detergent and no fabric softener. Ensure the garment is not overly worn, as material performance can degrade over time.
