What do you feel will help you stay cool best while training?

[cgprelude]

Either a plain ol A-shirt(wifebeater) or Under Armour heat gear(http://www.underarmour.com/ProductDe...d=2&pf_id=0039)

Have you ever worn Under Armour? This stuff is the shiz. I won't even wear regular boxers anymore. Seriously, there is no contest.

[cgprelude]

no i havn't. I see alot of guys where i train wearing it and then others wear nothing/ wifebeaters; which is what raised the question.

Underarmour

Underarmour is the shizzle!!!

I have my BJJ class followed by my MT class and anything else would be so soaked I would have to change between classes.

I've only got a shirt so far (with the mesh back) I am gonna get the trunks asap!!

[THT]

Yeah, it is truly well worth the investment. I would sometimes wear a t-shirt with our gyms logo to MT and it would be so heavy and stick to me and pretty much just suck ass (as cotton does in these situations). The UA feels like nothing and just takes the sweat away and dries it up. I mean, your still sweaty and wet, but it is a great difference. I would (obviously) highly reccomend it.

I myself sweat like crazy.. After BJJ i can literally take my shirt off and rink out a ton of sweat.. I just ordered under armour online from eastbay.com.. They have different ones though. Are they all the same ? The ones I ordered were 24.00 and they are just 1/2 sleeve. .they also have other ones that are like 50.00 whats the difference ? (if anyone knows) a lot of guys wear UA. I can't wait to get mine in ..

In most cases I speak from using their boxers, boxer briefs, and compression shorts. I also have a compression fit heat geat t- shirt, but usually work out in the sleevless loose fit tees. The loose fit is wicked comfy and dries up quite quick. The tighter fit does awesome to help your sweat evaporate and keep you cool. I have experienced one problem though. Velcro. I train thaiboxing and the velcro from gloves or thai pads will give your slick new shirt tons of little snags and pills. I discovered this after the drill where you hold the pads across your chest and stomach while the partner cliches yous neck and blasts knees into you. At the end of two rounds my new shirt was so torn up that I decided to take it off right then and there. Even the velcro on the spot in my bag where I put my mouthpiece catches it. So definately watch out for that.

personally i hate under amour, just because it is so abused as being the starter of so much crap. i personally recommend A/C and something made of Polyester, Nylon or Lyrca.

my vote is for no shirt. sometimes ill wear underarmor like tournaments and stuff but regular training just the kimono.

[Ahoym8e]

lots of bling bling necklaces and your gi pants strapped tight below your pelvis so that your boxers show and the pantlegs get all jammed up on the floor.

then you'll be cool training...

Which ones?Good reasoning. When?

[goojitsu]

Tell you what - I'm in Iraq and I only wear UnderArmour shirts/boxers. It gets quite hot over here, especially under your body armor - this product keeps you cool and stays "clean" much longer than regular shirts and boxers. I would reccomend it to anyone in any sport/activity that deals with heat and sweating.

[goojitsu]

As for which ones, I use the HeatGear t-shirts and compression pants. Keeps your nuts together too so they don't get smashed when running/wrestling/whatever.

[LoneHusky]

What do you guys think of the loosegear?

[goojitsu]

The loosegear isn't bad either. I don't like it for use on missions though because the trousers bunch up when you're in a humvee and the shirt bunches up under your flak vest. I wear the loosegear when I'm in the rear though - when I don't have to wear anything over it.
