Love underarmor

I wear my body armor seven days a week. underarmor heat gear is the only shirt I will wear. I prefer it because it doesnt bunch or gather in your armpits and I feel 10 degrees cooler. down side is the price vs. regular cotton tee's. I have been in Iraq for 6 months now with six more to go and the cotton shirts I brought have since disintergrated just in time for the summer. I wish I had brought a dozen under armors with me. they pack smaller and last much much longer. the ones I have had for a year now are showing no sign of wear. One wish I would make for the company is to have the shirt be longer to stay tucked in my pants better. if it becomes untucked it will ride up your chest and is next to impossible to get down without taking all your crap off. on the plus side again , for some reason my underarmors don't get stinky as quick as cotton if I havent had a chance to change them out. I have some go lite shirts that I use for hiking back at ft lewis and they are nice but too loose and would bunch under my body armor armor I imagine. just my honest assessment. Cheapest place to get them I have found is at military Clothing and sales for $19.99 I am looking but the best price yet to found online is 24.95
