Underarmor

This stuff ROX. i got an underarmor shirt for christmas its supposed to be used in sports because it removes sweat from your skin. I loved it today on my hike i was sooooo dry at the end it was amazing.

I've heard very posative feedback about those from my football buddies. I have never used them before but I am highly condisdering it

I would just for a hike i am dry and i feel great and it kept me warm too

Isnt it the stuff that is really tight on your skin?

it can be

I think I've seen it. I used to be on a select soccer team, And I saw some guy wearing stuff like that.

i wear underarmor when i grapple. I have a heavyweight gi (14 oz) which causes you to get extremely hot when fighting. With the underarmor shirt on under it i am cold if i don't keep moving after a grapling match. I love their gear! They have both cold and hot clothing... to keep you warm in cold or cool in the heat! i wear them running in the summer.

Ive never heard of it, ill possible look into it for jiujitsu in the summer.

i highly suggest it doug, it is also really good to wear when doing no gi (no gi jacket) grappling.

I wonder where they would sell it? I emagine sport check. But ill deffinatly look into it, because sparing in 30 dgree weather is going to be so bad.

i got mine at rudderhams. Any sports store should carry them.

Ive never heard of that place haha, but yeah ill keep my eyes open.

It is great. As long as you aren't a firefighter, and forget that you are wearing it (it has happened, OUCH!) it is some good stuff. The summer gear will keep you cool, the winter gear will keep you warm. Kind of pricey, but worth it.

I found it on Bass Pro Shops site:

It sounds like just the thing for me when I'm hiking.

Here's a similar product that sounds good:

Has anyone tried their stuff? They even have flame resistant shirts, something we should keep in mind when practicing fire lighting techniques. Laughing

Their great but they are not that cheap, one shirt may go for $50

Some of you may remember this, but what ever. It's great gear, just be carful when you wear it as said above. I used some of it on an elk hunt a couple years ago. I was filming the hunt, and two guys were calling for the shooter. We had been hiking for some time, and then after a blown stalk we sat down. It was getting late, and man, I was freezeing! I rolled up my long sleeve shirt, and my skin was getting blotchy. Comparing it to the other three guys it was really bad. I was shaking, and could not warm up. Then I remembered the UA I had on as a base layer. I took it off and put the rest of my clothes back on, and felt warmer right away. I honestly believe that it was pulling the heat out of me, and bringing my core temp down with it. This stuff was the original gear, and was bought long before they had their heat gear and cold gear lines. I bought some of the cold gear and wore that on my turkey hunt earlier this month in New Mexico/Arizona and it worked great. One morning we woke up to 21 degree weather plus wind chill that I don't know but I was nice and warm! Make sure you don't the two confused! Shocked

yea underarmor has some clothing for staying cold and others for staying warm. carefull what you buy as it may not be what you want.

Yeah, but like I said this stuff was bought way before they had the two different lines available. A local shop was going out of business and were selling the shirts for $15, I stocked up on as many as I could. Laughing
