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

It says it moves sweat from your skin to the outside of the fabric's surface... is this bs? Sounds too good to be true...

Doesn't all athletic clothing make the same claim?

UA and Nike's ripoff both work pretty well.

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

well, i've used the nike dri-fit or whatever they call them and i find it works.

they are nice mainly the ones that keep you warm.

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

I used it a bit this summer. It worked well for me.

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

i like mine

Yeah i use both kind. I like the ones that keep you warm the best.

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! 😉

I've heard they work well to wick out sweat... but they're pricey
