While what you say sounds good, it doesn't hold, um...water. (hehe, pardon the pun)
Your body sweats in an effort to cool down. The cooler you are the less you sweat. While UnderArmour does pull water away from the skin, that has the effect of cooling the body down even more so than keeping the water close to your body, like when wearing a cotton t-shirt.
You cool down more effectively with the UA so you sweat less, even though it pulls the moistue away from your body.
And blocking the pores with a cotton t-shirt that is wet is not based in any science or fact. If that was the case, we wouldn't sweat in the water and that is untrue.
The pores in our bodies need to be physically blocked to not function. A simple layer of water couldn't do that.

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.
