Are those under armour athletic shirts any good or is it all hype?

Doesn't all athletic clothing make the same claim?

I dunno, do they? I've never heard of such a claim...

I've never worn any underarmour products, but I've got several family members that swear by them.

I used to have the one you wore under a bullet proof vest and it worked quite well IMO :)

I have a couple similar shrts by different brands and they work great. They do pull the sweat away. It makes you warmer though since you dont have the sweat cooling you off, so its especially good if its cool outside.

You can go to your local athletic store and probably snag a similar shirt off the clearence rack for a lot cheaper though.

Hype. I've bought different brands of moisture wicking performance wear, including UA. I find UA overpriced for the same performance as my Russell Athletic moisture wicking shirts and Nike-Dri Fits (also overpriced). They are all based around polyester.

Nike outlets FTW! ;)
