I really like the stuff, but I use it more for the cold weather. I find that the cold gear is very good and very comfortable. If you can get past the part that you are going to look like a lumpy hot dog (at least I do) in one, I would also recommend it. Oh and the lumpy hot dog thing, thank God for layering!

Read the label , you'll find that it's just spandex with pretty pictures printed on it , and you can find spandex work out gear for a lot less .

You might be correct that there is spandex in the product, but I don't think it's as simple as you make it out to be.My understanding ofspandex is that it is a fabric, like cotton or polyester. What you do to the fabric can change its qualities and properties quite a bit. Yes, it is a lot of money, but you can find it on sale all over the place. Cabella's has a great clearance sale on the stuff right now.

Unless it's fleece lined , which work out leotards usually aren't , then I'd respectfully suggest that you read the label for the fiber content and compare it to Danskins in the ladie's section . Lycra and spandex are the predominant content of both products . You won't see enough difference to be worth the price difference .

I am normally very skeptical of new products of any kind until they've been around a while. However, Under Armor has definatly passed every test I've thrown at it.
I used it when I worked in maximum security prison with no airconditioning wearing a stab proof vest. I was working in tempratures of 100-120 degrees. It helped wick the sweat away tremendously.
I use it almost every day as an under shirt and it's a 1000 times better than any cotton shirt.
I use it as my gear while I'm training for a marathon and would not be with out it.
I've also used it many times while hunting and I can personally attest that it is not "gimicky" or "the same as spandex". Under Armor is a product that I picked up and used for hunting before they were a hunting product.

It may be good for stalking elk and walking 15 miles a day..but sittin in a treestand id say it would be overrated..
