Default Under Armour sweat wicking clothing...

So I have been reading about this stuff for a while and how it will keep you cooler than just a regular t shirt. I went out and got some and am going to try it out tomorrow. I got it for Las Vegas bike fest so hopefully it works well. I'll report back after tomorrow's ride.

Who else wears this stuff? It almost feels like it is suffocating me, but I imagine that is just because I am not used to it. I got the heat gear which keeps you cool obviously.

used them during my 13-month deployment to the sandbox....yes, I am a fan and a believer. BTW, there are cheaper copies now that work just as well.

P.S. There are 2 fits/styles: one is loose vs. the tight fitting compression style. Sounds like you got the latter.

Love the stuff. If you get the compression stuff, get a size bigger. Not quite as restricting.

The loose-gear is the cats' ***!

They're just about all I wear anymore...I wear white ones under dress and casual shirts instead of cottton t-shirts, sleeveless ones for cutting grass, etc.

Been going commando since my army days in the 70's. Only time I wear underwear is when I'm riding, and? You guessed it, Underarmor compression

Never tried the shirts. Just started wearing the compression shorts this year, and I really like them. Wear 'em instead of underwear, on rides.

I'm not the fashion police, but I hope you're not going to wear it without a shirt over it. That $hit is gay.

Being Military, we are required to wear long sleeves when we ride.
I wear the loose style almost daily, usually under a t-shirt.
(meets the minimum standard for long sleeves)
Way better (cooler) than the cotton long sleeve t-shirts.
