I have to admit that this shirt is soft and does dry pretty fast for cotton. However, it will not keep you cool. The shirt is not breathable at all and will trap your body heat, making you sweat even more. My glasses actually fog up after I pull this shirt over my head after a workout to take it off. With its extremely loose fit it is more suitable for wearing at home on a cold winter night than working out in the heat. If you are looking for a shirt that will keep you both dry and cool this is not for you. Go with the original under armour shirts made of polyester, those are much better. Under Armour should have made this into a cotton towel instead of a shirt.

Update:

I'm looking at the under armour catalog I got in the mail today. It looks like they changed the description of the charged cotton shirts to only have "moisture transport" and "4-way stretch". Seems like they realized it doesn't keep you cool so they don't describe it as "heat gear" anymore.

It would be easy to mark this down to a 4 star based merely on the fact that you're paying $25 for ONE cotton t-shirt...but I can't. It's a fantastic shirt and I bought three of them the other day, one in red, one white, and one in dark grey ("carbon heather"). They are incredibly soft and fit really well. I typically buy mediums but interestingly enough these fit in small. One thing I really like is that they are nice and long, so when I'm doing certain exercises I'm not worried about whether or not my shirt is showing my stomach (a temporary concern if I'd just get it completely worked off, hah!). The shirts feel thinner the colors are typically pretty vibrant (like red). I'm excited to see how they perform during summer running and sports in the hot weather.

I bought this as an undershirt for the Army ACU/Multicam, and it's a perfect match in color (desert sand)and incredibly comfortable. Also, I'm in Afghanistan, and we have been authorized to wear the tan undershirt with the Army PT shorts in the gym, and this is so much better than a t-shirt from clothing and sales. The only caveat is the price, but sometimes you do get what you pay for.

These shirts are very comfortable and very light. UnderArmour says these shirts dry faster than regular cotton shirts and they sure do EXCEPT for the collar, the collar takes just as long to dry as any other shirt. The reason for the one star reduction is because their sizing is off, it runs small. All my other 2xl shirts fit me a bit oversized just like i like them, but these fit me rather tightly. (Sidenote: their charged cotton storm fleece hoodys also run a bit small) otherwise EXCELLENT SHIRTS!

It's kind of funny seeing Under Armour plugging cotton t-shirts after having used the tagline "Cotton is the Enemy" for so many years, but I love and have bought a lot of their products, so I thought I'd give this one a try. I'll get this right up front - it is a VERY soft, VERY comfortable t-shirt, enough so that I immediately bought two more in different colors. They look great and fit great - not too baggy, and the length is just right. I love wearing these over jeans, shorts, and sweats. I can't wait until the long-sleeve ones come out this fall - I'll be buying a couple of those, too. Quality is excellent, as I've come to expect of Under Armour, as is the great selection of colors.

While I'll grant that these do dry faster than regular cotton t-shirts, I just don't like sweating in cotton shirts because of how they feel when they get damp. So as comfortable as the charged cotton T's are, I still prefer other, all-polyester Heat Gear shirts for working and working out hard, and getting all hot and sweaty in - they just dry faster and feel more comfortable to me under those circumstances. That doesn't make these charged cotton t-shirts bad for workouts, it's just a personal preference thing, and I like them better for casual wear and lounging around.

Under Armour's Charged Cotton T-shirt is seriously the most comfortable shirt ive ever worn. Soft, cool, comfortable, stretchy, etc. I was given one as a gift and as soon as I put it on I knew I had to have another one. Just simply comfortable. Its gonna suck to put on a standard cotton shirt from this point forward.

I have been a fan of Under Armour shirts for a number of years now due to the excellent perspiration wicking properties. Great for outdoors fun. The "charged" shirts are incredibly soft andn perform as well as the "heat gear" shirts. I wear these shirts daily.

I love these charged cotton shirts. They are comfortable and really do a good job keeping you cool. I highly recommend this product!

Great for summer heat in the south, without the scratchy nature of other performance gear. Definitely dries much faster and feels like a great cotton shirt (maybe not Pima cotton, but really nice).

If your are looking for something comfortable, original and that dries faster when you go to the gym this is the shirt that you have been looking for, I like it a lot. I already ordered four and hoping to order more in the near future. It is really loose and after you wash it wont shrink.
