What's the coolest men's undershirt for hot weather activities?

March 3, 2017 10:08 PM

I'm looking for men's undershirts that provide some modesty under thin golf shirts but don't make me hot and sweaty.

I have some shirts like Under Armour golf shirts that are very comfortable, but because of the material, they're a little more revealing than I'd like. This is kind of embarrassing, but with those shirts my nipples kind of poke through and my chest hair creates a visible pattern. So I tend to wear undershirts under them. But even my wonderfully thin cin2 core undershirts make me much hotter than I am without them. I'm wondering if there's some kind of undershirt that's more designed for physical activity in hot weather, but will still provide enough coverage that people don't have to see things they don't want to see.

Does this exist? What should I be shopping for?

I love uniqlo airism for this kind of stuff.

There's a website called The Undershirt Guy that has researched this much more thoroughly than anyone here. Check it out.

Uniqlo undershirts are pure perfection.

The perfect balance of comfort, fabric, fit and the right temperature.

Airism shirts tend to take on funk. I'd look at changing the golf shirts instead. I don't have any links handy, but there are materials made that are slightly thicker and less shiny that don't show everything underneath, but still breathe well.
