Under Armour HeatGear® Long Sleeve - Red

HeatGear® is Under Armour's original performance baselayer designed to keep you cool, dry, and light. Its super-light fabric wicks sweat away from your skin and dries really fast, making it ideal for warmer conditions or intense workouts.

The HeatGear® Long Sleeve is designed for an athletic, snug fit to maximize its sweat-wicking benefits and provide superior coverage without weighing you down. It should feel like a second skin, allowing for full range of motion without restriction.

While HeatGear® is primarily designed for warmer conditions, it can be effectively used as a first baselayer under other insulating garments in cooler weather. Its primary function is moisture management, which is crucial for comfort in any temperature during activity.

Yes, its versatile design and performance features make it suitable for a wide range of activities, including running, gym workouts, team sports, cycling, and more. Its ergonomic design and stretch fabric support dynamic movements in almost any sport.

The HeatGear® Long Sleeve is made from 100% polyester, a synthetic fiber known for its durability, moisture-wicking capabilities, and quick-drying properties. It also features mesh panels for enhanced ventilation.

To prevent pilling or snagging, wash the garment inside out and avoid washing it with items that have zippers, hooks, or rough textures. Using a laundry bag can also provide extra protection during the wash cycle.

The HeatGear® Long Sleeve is designed as a performance baselayer with a snug, athletic fit. This fit is intentional to maximize sweat-wicking and keep the fabric close to your skin for optimal performance. If it feels uncomfortably tight or hinders movement, ensure you have the correct size. Some users prefer a slightly looser fit for casual wear, but for performance, the snug fit is recommended.

Performance polyester fabrics can sometimes retain odors if not washed properly. Ensure you are washing it immediately after use and avoiding fabric softeners, which can trap bacteria and odors. Consider using a sports-specific detergent designed for technical fabrics or adding a cup of white vinegar to the wash cycle to help neutralize odors. Always air dry or tumble dry on low to prevent heat from setting in odors.

Check your layering. If you're wearing multiple non-wicking layers over the HeatGear® shirt, it can impede the moisture evaporation process. Ensure your outer layers are also breathable. Also, consider the intensity of your activity and environmental conditions; while highly effective, in extreme heat or humidity, you might still experience some perspiration. Make sure the mesh panels are not obstructed by other clothing.
