Under Armour Mens HeatGear Armour Long Sleeve Compression Shirt

Bought 2 white, long sleeve shirts. Medium size. I bought these specifically for a 6 day bicycle tour of Colorado in June. Pros: Kept me cool on 5 to 6 hr bike rides while the sun was beating down on me for most of the day. Wide open prairies, and high above tree line in the mountains. Did not get sunburned. I am Scandinavian. 6',2" blond hair and blue eyes. I don't get along to well with the sun. I thought this would be better than wearing a short sleeve shirt and applying sunscreen multiple time in the course of the ride. I do a lot of road cycling so my build up top may be leaner than some. I went with a medium size and it fit well. Con: None. In hind sight I shouldn't have gotten white. I thought that white would attract the least amount of sunlight, which may be true, but after a full week of riding my bicycle a total of 450 miles, these shirts look disgusting. Yes I did wash them in a washing machine during ride week. Ill just get a color that may hide dirt and grime and sweat stains better next time.

This shirt is perfect for paddling Colorado whitewater in the Summer months. I needed a shirt with just the right amount of insulation and sleeves for sun protection, this shirt holds it's shape when soaking wet and drys quickly. Quality construction and materials, love it!
