I've got some dickies moisture wicking shirts but they are to thick for an undershirt. Like I was saying earlier if they are worth picking up I'll give them a shot. I'll probably try those underarmor shirts next
When I first went to Afghanistan 6 years ago I bought 14 UA plain black t shirts. Even after being worn nearly every day since they have held up great.
If you don't want to drop the coin on Underarmor shirts go back to wal mart and pick up a few of the Starter synthetic shirts that are similar to the underarmor ones. I've got UA and Starter (Target has a simliar brand called Champion IIRC) and can't tell the difference between the two honestly.
Same thing for the synthetic underwear. I have both brands both are just as good but Starter is half the cost. I don't even own cotton underwear anymore.
Those are pretty much all I wear under my riding gear. During the summer it's very helpful and you don't get the shirt bunched up like a cotton shirt. This stuff just lets the gear slide around a bit and makes it that much more comfortable.
Is this the skin tight shit (not affliction/mma t-shirts) all the teenagers are wearing?
So let's say I put on this "synthetic underwear" in the middle of summer @ 110* and start to work in the middle of a field. ...said skin-tight-nut-hugging synthetic underwear works?

I wear the loose fit ones by themselves and/or as under shirts. 110* is easy if you stay hydrated and use sun protection.
Yes the underwear are boxer briefs. The shirts I have are the loose fitting shirts I can't stand the skintight shirts but I don't care for loose fitting boxers either. They work well and the boxer briefs are light years ahead of cotton boxer briefs.
I can be in the saddle of a motorcycle or hiking all day long and the boys are riding in comfort so to speak. The old cotton stuff used to make me chafe like a MFer. The shirts are great just because I don't feel like I'm wearing a freakin wet towel all the time like I did/do with cotton shirts.

The UA boxer briefs are awesome too. I have about 2 dozen pair and it is all I wear. Most are 6 years old and look brand new. The brown color hides the wet ones too. LOL
I'd imagine some of the under armor stuff or general workout shirts (more the running kind) would work. All available in the different colors. What qualities are you looking for out of it?
It's only going to wick so much sweat before soaked, some are fairly porous - but most of those should last a good while.
I quit wearing cotton t's as undershirts almost 2 years ago and went this route. I have some UA stuff, but I prefer the Champion or C2 or whatever champion brand it is that Target carries instead. They have different types as some is more breathable with a mesh instead of a solid shirt. I have all colors depending on what top shirt I wear. They come in navy, royal, white, black, red, etc. You can get them at Dick's, Sports Authority, or Target for around $15 a shirt on sale, less with a coupon. They'll last quite a while too.

I know how you feel, but I think I just threw up in my mouth a little just thinking about it hahaha
I hear ya. I got mine from the Calvin Klein factory outlet. They are $9/ea-ish ($28/3 pack) but do not stretch and last 5x longer than the Hanes specials...
Agreed. CK V-neck undershirt is SOP in the summer time for me. Helps regulate.
I used to buy the Polo ones, but they're so thin, they look downright pitiful after enough time. Holes in them like I'm Fred Sanford.

I have two black Starter shirts, two white Starter shirts, and one Under Armour in black. I also have loads of regular cotton Hane's tshirts, but those last maybe 6 months, and aren't as cool during the summer.
