Kleinerts sweat proof shirts same as under armour shirts?

[causeeffect]

I'm interested in buying a few of kleinert's sweatproof shirts that wick away sweat.
However don't those under armour shirts made for athletes do the same job? Does any one has both and give a comparison of the two, which is more effective? I'd rather not spend 50 dollars on a kleinert shirt. Under armour also has more style options and colors and is cheaper.

Also, I'm assuming the sweat just glides down the shirt right instead of being absorbed?

thanks in advance.

Hi causeeffect,

After my ETS surgery 10 years ago i now sweat badly from my chest and back. I tried the under armour style shirts and found that they are mostly designed to keep athletes cool and dry....this means that they wick sweat away from the body, which also means that the sweat will get through the undershirt and mark outer clothing. I have bought quite alot of kleinerts undershirts and found them to be a real life saver. They have a water repelent treatment which stops sweat getting through and marking outer clothing (great for work ). They can be soaking wet on the inside, and dry on the outside.

I find these work well for me as it gives me the confidence knowing that i can sweat buckets and knowone will notice, which reduces the stress and panic attacks which i faced before using these shirts

sorry i have rambled on!

To summerise, under armour shirts will attempt to keep you cool but sweat will leak through and onto outer clothing. Kleinerts shirts will form a barrier to stop the sweat marking outer clothing, but may be a bit more uncomfortable while they dry off

hope this helps

I have bought 2 of the kleinerts shirts and was disappointed. Yes I think they would probably help hide sweat but the shirts are a really weird shape, and the neck stretched out in both of them. Have you found this to be a problem also?

Try a google search on house of pain and buy their waterproof shirts.

No i have not. I found the shirts to fit ok with no stretched neck problems, although i have gone for the v neck style which stays more hidden under a shirt with the top button undone.

I will search for the house of pain shirts...i am curious now!
