Has anyone tried Under Armour as a base layer for cold weather riding? I came across a long sleeve Under Armour tee shirt I had bought a couple of years ago but it had mades its' way to the bottom of a clothes dresser drawer and had been forgotten about. Decided to give it a whirl as a base cycling layer and had high expectations that it would work well. On the plus side the tight fitting / body contour nature of the Under Armour base layer made getting a long sleeve jersey over it a snap ... no bunching or having to fiddle with getting my outer jersey correctly positioned. On the negative side it just seems to suck as a base layer. My experience is that it seems to get wet (from perspiration) and stay wet. Poor wicking and drying properties. Not sure if it's due to the very tight fit or perhaps it's a tighter weave of poly propolyene that does not breathe but it just does not seem to work as well as other Nike, New Balance and Asics base layers I have used (all of which fit less snugly). I have been using the Nike, New Balance and Asics stuff given it you can buy it at Dick's Sporting Goods at a fraction of the price you would pay for name brand cycling base layers (such as Craft etc.)

Anyone else have a similar experience.
