Under Armour Men's Tech 2.0 Short-Sleeve T-Shirt Review
Rated 4.6/5 by 100K+ Athletes
Real opinions from lifters, runners, and weekend warriors using Under Armour gym gear.
"The Tech 2.0 is the best daily gym shirt I own. It doesn't cling to you when you start sweating heavily, and it stays soft after dozens of washes. Major upgrade over cotton."
Marcus G.
Verified Athlete"If you run outdoors, the drying time on these is crazy. Less than 15 minutes and it's dry. I own three colors now and they still look new."
Sarah L.
Marathon Runner"HeatGear is great for compression, but for overall training, Tech 2.0 wins on comfort. It's super breathable and has a natural cotton-like drape."
