Where do you buy your Under Armour? What styles do you like?
Planning on wearing any outside of an athletic activity, such as a club?
I would like to get some for lifting and for casual. I see they make polo shirts too which would be great for work.

This should be illegal under all circumstances.
Except for their golf shirts and other non form fitting attire.
Edit: I buy mine at Academy. I have a couple of NCAA licenced polos that can be bought wherever your school’s apparel is sold. If you want polos, you could also check anywhere golf attire and equipment is sold.
If you have had issues with cramping/dehydration I’d be careful with these. The wicking effect can actually screw with your bodies core temperature.
Why would you want to look like this?

I hate the way those things feel when I sweat. I prefer old-school 100% cotton. The tight long-sleve UA shirts are very popular with the boys at my son’s elementary school. Unless you look like the dudes in the “Click-clack” commercial, you will look rediculous wearing one.
I want the loose fit…
The Tech T’s are great for the gym, I prefer these to regular cotton.

I have some of the tight stuff also but those are either reserved for when it’s super hot outside or long sleeve Coldgear stuff.
Compression shorts. A gift from God.
As for the rest, I just buy Reebok. It’s cheaper, I prefer the logo if you’re going to wear looser stuff casually and it works the same. Not to mention I got a bunch of it on sale.

The loose polyester shirts are awesome when it is really hot or you know you are going to get wet (canoeing, water rides etc.) because they dry so fast.
For the gym I usually wear cotton t-shirts and change immediately after my workout.

Agreed, cotton is just fine in the gym. Plus you don’t look like a total douche wearing it.
There are a couple of skinny fat guys in my gym that wear the Under Armour or stuff like it, and they look ridiculous.
My friend and I have discussed this many times. There should be some kind of test to allow one to buy Under Armour at a store. I suggest a bench press in the store and anybody who cannot pump out 10 reps of 225 is not allowed to purchase Under Armour.
a while back we were talking about UA and i was saying how i hate it cause it makes me hot and profx was saying that’s retarded cause it keeps him cool and then some cat from the department of defense who studies fabric for the military logs on and enlightens us that that it can do both and it depends on the humidity. he basically said stuff like UA is really good choice if it’s hot and dry but also a really bad choice if it’s hot and humid. then he said not to dry them in the dryer or you’ll ruin the properties in the fabric that you’re paying for.
Don’t ever buy the cold gear by UA. I bought some for snowboarding this year and my Duofold are a thousand times better.

LOL… you should bring your digital camera with you to the gym one day, and just start taking pictures of them. Then, after a few shots, just go up to them and show them the pictures and just say something like “Hey, I just wanted to let you see how you look. You know, I’m just tryin to help you out here.”

God, that reminds me of this Navy dude that who used to do that. Short guy, cheesie moustache, skinny arms, BIIIIIGGGGG pop belly, small man-boobs, skin-tight UA sleveless shirt,…weight belt. He dressed like this every time.
It was hard not to laugh out loud. Since he was Navy, I let him look like a tard. If he was one of my guys I would have sent his ass back into the locker room.

I tried one running on a treadmill in an air-conditioned gym. That damn shirt stuck to me like wet toilet paper.
Might be good for riding the motorcycle on a hot day.

It is hard not to laugh out loud at guys that like.
I just look at them, look down and shake my head.
