Let me start by saying, this Under Armour shirt is a game-changer for active kids. The UA Tech fabric lives up to its promise - it's incredibly soft and dries super fast. My son wore it during his soccer practice, and even after sweating buckets, the shirt didn't stay wet or cling to his skin.
The fit is where things get interesting. Based on other reviews, I was worried about sizing, but we found it true to size for my 10-year-old. The shoulders and length were perfect - not too baggy but with enough room for movement. However, if your child is between sizes or you prefer a snugger fit, you might want to size down.
What really impressed me was how often my son reaches for this shirt. It's become his go-to for everything from school to sports practice. The material holds up well after multiple washes (we always air dry it as recommended), and the colors stay vibrant.
The only minor drawback? The print/logo area does feel a bit delicate. After about 20 wears and washes (always air dried), I've noticed very slight cracking in the design. But considering how much use it gets, that's pretty reasonable wear and tear.
At this price point, you're getting premium athletic performance in a shirt that kids actually want to wear - which as any parent knows, is half the battle won!
