Under Armour

I wear it in the early season, moisture transfer is great, downside is I'm fairly fat and I get irritated by how tight it fits after a while. Once it gets cold, its not the best, I prefer patagonia U wear.

I like it. Not the most comortable since I like everything big but I think it keeps me warm. If your built like me, don't look at yourself in a mirror while wearing it. Not pleasant. Also, I think you can get the same thing with a different name, but cheaper.
 
I have a couple Under Armour quarter zip compression fit mock tees and one of the big advantages is they are "slick" and non-binding under a jacket which is great for mounting your gun and swinging on a rooster. Under Armour is spendy but the quality is good. I really like their boxer briefs which prevent chafing and do not get wet and wad up like tighty whities, in fact I like them so much I wear them all the time instead of traditional underwear.
 
Yes, they are good but they are way over priced. You can get the same thing from many differnt companies under a different name. They need to give thier marketing department a great big raise. In just a few short years they have most of America's outdoorsmen believing they will never kill or catch anything unless they are wearing UnderArmor. And they are in practically all the major stores. Again, cudo's to the marketing dept. Checkout "Campmore", they're a company out east that handle alot of clothing for extreme sports like mountain skiing and climbing. I've ordered from them many times and they are a good company with great products. One piece of advice I can give is this: when you are looking for exteme, breathable, wicking, warm clothing, leave the hunting dept and head to the mountain climbing store. They will keep you warm and dry and save you a few dollars.
 
I love it, I been wearing under armour since it's inception, I still have my orginal set of cold compression top and pants, I wear them when I walk into timber to duck hunt or when I am hunting pheasants in January.

Like Uguide said it is a great base layer and you can wear anything over it, it has gotton expensive but it holds up to the abuse of everyday use.
 
I wear mine for all kinds of colder weather activities. Getting to the deer stand, no matter how I try to take it easy, always works up a bit of a sweat. In the old days, I'd then have that cotton T-shirt, clinging to my back and it didn't take long for the chill to set in. I now wear layers of all moisture wicking materials and am amazed at the difference. I even wear the compression fit base layer in some fall golf outings. I'm hoping Santa brings me a new set of 3.0 base layer, which is heavier and more what I need for ice fishing. Like someone here said, it's a bit pricey, but show me another product that will compare at a lower price and I would take a serious look at it.
 
For you guys that don't like the tight (compression) fit they do make Under Armour in a "Loose Fit". I have several of the Heat Gear t-shirts in loose fit that I wear under my hunting shirts until it gets real cold. I sweat a lot and they wick moisture and dry so much faster than cotton.

Chicken is 88 cents per pound. Pheasant hunting has nothing to do with saving money.:D

This is perfect..... I totally agree.... Bird hunting is something for you to enjoy..... Spend some $$ and get what you want..... What a nice hobby to have....
 
Don't have any UnderArmor. Looking at getting some or a knock-off. The stuff is supposed to be tight to your body correct? Not loose and hanging off?

You can get loose fit it works just as good the pants only come in compression, but if you get the compressing top it does take a few momments to get use to it but once you have it on you won't even notice it. Some of the knock off work just as well but I am very rough on stuff and UA holds up better than the knock off clothes but thats my opinion. :cheers:
 
UA is very good quality and last a long time. I used to buy cheapies and they would wear out in one season of use. I have a set of UA that are 4 years old and doing just fine. I wear them a couple of times per week in the winter.

I have had good luck with lands end long johns too.

Ditto! I wear UA for active activities like pheasant hunting or wood chopping. The wicking ability is amazing. When I am on deer stand hwoever I find that the dense material zaps the heat from your body and now I go to a Duofold longjohn with a clothier feel (black for heat retention). It still wicks good. Outside of that in either case if you need another layer of warm I recommend Ganders cheap black fleece long johns. I think I got a top and bottom for $10/each.
 
I have several short sleeve and long sleeve UA in the loose fitting version. All are for the warm weather setting, but I wear them all year long. Whether it is warm or cold out, the main purpose I wear the shirts is for the wicking abiliity. I just layer some other clothing in the winter if I need more warmth.
 
I have some of the Columbia titanium loose fitting shirts that has similar material and it works great. Started using them at the fitness center and decided to try them hunting. Glad I did, they work great at wicking away the moisture and drying fast.
