All weather or Heat for warm weather? Anyone with experience with both, I'd like to know which is best since they aren't cheap.

    Alll weather. The heat stuff really traps heat in on my body and gets too damn hot.

    Sorry, I'm having a very big case of the stupids today. I can't say what I mean. I meant don't get the cold stuff unless it's for cold weather because it really traps the heat.

    They have cold gear and heat gear. Obviously heat is for hot weather and cold gear is for cold weather :)

    if you live a four season climate all weather should work fine since you will get more use out of it in spring and fall, personally i never saw the point of heat gear, if its hot enough im running without a shirt anyway

    I agree with the comment on it depends on your area for getting the most use. I buy the Heat gear because I live in the South and it does help nearly year round. If you have all four seasons, the All Weather is a good choice.

    Well, I'd go shirtless but I'd probably scare small children and then get arrested.

    Ok, now I have a new question. Does heat gear make you feel any cooler?? Or is it just something that dries faster than cotton?

    All I wear is heat gear mainly(pants and shirts) and it doesn't make me feel cooler, but it does dry pretty quick I find and doesn't get as soaked as normal cotton does.

    I live in IL and use heat gear year round since I workout at a gym... and it's wonderful stuff.

    Try to buy from an Under Armor Outlet or see if TJ Max has anything... I found a lot of Under Armor gear at Tj Max for like half of what it normally is.

    I always wear heat gear- even in the cold. However, be aware of the fit..."compression" means "really, really tight" as in medium = extra small.

    Got both Nike and the cheap champion from Target. Both have given me some burn!

    For me, it pulls the sweat away so I feel like I can sweat some more. I feel drier longer, and faster. It also feels lighter than a cotton shirt/pants once I'm sweating. It's humid where I live, so it feels much better because it pulls away the sweat, unlike cotton, where I'd stay drenched.

    Wish I could get away without a shirt... but I'd probably be behind bars in no time!
