I wore the skintight top covered by the loose top. With a slight breeze, there were times when I was cold! Seriously. UnderArmour's like an air conditioner. Those people who have never tried it have no idea how good it is.

I got a couple of UnderArmour questions.
1. Is the skin tight shirt long sleeve or short sleeve?
2. I was looking on the UnderArmour website, and they have heat gear and all season gear. Do you have both, or do you just have one of them that you allways wear?
3. Does it look ok to have a long sleeve shirt sticking out under my short sleeve shirt?
This isn't a question but as I was browsing the Under Armour site, I noticed that they sell Polo Shirts now. If they take their navy one, and add some red and white piping, it could become the new shirt of choice. Who knows, 20 Years from now, my whole umpire uniform might be made out of under armour.

1. I have both cold weather and all season. I don't use the cold weather very often, but it's great when I need it.
2. Our state association adopted a uniform rule that any long sleeve "undershirt" must be navy. The long sleeves were expected to be for cold weather. It never occurred to them that the long sleeves could keep an umpire cool.
3. I don't wear short sleeves because of the sun. The long sleeves mean I don't have to load up on sun screen.
4. I know of no umpire who has tried UnderArmour and rejected it. After two years the garment has become like a second skin.
