Carl just looking for clarification on something you sounded as though you think you don't loose water when wearing your long UA. Working as an Equipment Manager with a high profile team in Canada I can tell you that you loose more. The fabric takes water off your body which inturn causes you to sweat more in an effort to cool down.

With cotton shirts water(sweat) stays on your body thus blocking your poors.
What makes UnderArmour work is the wicking system that moves the water from the skin to the outer layer of the fabric. Anyone who sweats loses water. The skin-tight version of the product keeps the water (like the cotton jersey) and clings to the skin, which gives the impression of air-conditioning.

All that aside, does anyone on your team wear the cold weather gear?
