Under Armour HeatGear® Long Sleeve - Black - L

HeatGear® is Under Armour's original performance baselayer fabric. It's designed to keep you cool, dry, and light during warmer conditions or intense workouts by wicking sweat away from your skin and drying quickly.

While HeatGear® is designed to keep you cool and dry in warmer conditions, its sweat-wicking properties are beneficial year-round. For cold weather, it serves as an excellent baselayer to manage moisture, but you would need to layer it with additional insulating garments for warmth.

This particular long sleeve has a 'close fit,' meaning it's designed to be snug against the body without being restrictive, to optimize performance. Refer to Under Armour's size chart to find your ideal fit based on your chest and waist measurements. If you prefer a looser fit, you might consider sizing up, but note it might slightly impact its baselayer performance.

Yes, while designed for sports, its comfortable, lightweight, and sleek design makes it suitable for casual wear or as an everyday layer. Its quick-drying properties are also beneficial for travel.

The write-in locker tag on the back of the neck allows you to personalize your shirt with your initials or a number, which can be useful in team settings or communal changing rooms to easily identify your garment.

Fabric softeners can leave a residue that clogs the fibers of technical fabrics like HeatGear®. This residue can reduce the fabric's ability to wick away moisture and dry quickly, diminishing its performance benefits.

Ensure you are not using fabric softeners during washing, as they can reduce the material's moisture-wicking capabilities. Also, check that you are washing with cold water as directed.

Avoid using high heat settings during tumble drying, and never iron the shirt. High heat can damage the elastane fibers crucial for the garment's stretch and recovery.

Wash with cold water immediately after use. If odors persist, consider using a specialized sports detergent designed to eliminate bacteria and odors from synthetic fabrics. Ensure the garment is fully dry before storing.
