Customer Reviews Under Armour Charged Cotton® Left Chest Lockup

I've worn the locker brand of shirts in the past, but they're no longer available. Tried the charged cotton, and its the only time I've been disappointed with under armour product. It's quite heavy and just not comfortable for weight training.

Got my order today and I'm very disappointed in these shirts. The quality of these shirts are very cheap, sleeves go all the way to the elbow and the length of the shirt is super long. Do not buy these!

Used to be my go to for all things athletic, after falling in love with the original charged cotton shirt I bought 5 of these in a sale (bad idea) the material is scratchy, uncomfortable. I don't know why Under Armour makes a perfect product and then discontinues it, maybe it's a marketing strategy to urge people to try other products, well, it worked. Only problem is those products are sub par. Also very disappointed that no one at Under Armour will even address the old charged cotton despite the uproar. My opinions changed, and I've found a new company.

Please bring back the original charged Cotton! This shirt has very thin material, fits small and is not comfortable-feels scratchy on the skin. You had the perfect shirt in the original - why change? Done with UA till you get it right.

I was very disappointed to see they changed these shirts. The old style was the best shirt I have ever worn, these are not. Sadly I will return and look for a different manufacturer...

So sad. I loved (and still have) most of my "original" charged cotton tee's. You know, the ones that were actually cotton. :( It's simply a price issue. The "real" cotton was too expensive so in order to sell more they had to drop the price and then the quality. These feel nothing like the originals. The fit is just ok but the feel just isn't there. Fortunately I only bought one last fall from Dicks Sporting Goods to try out the "new" model. Didn't even realize it was changed because it was still called "charged cotton." Basically I was "charged for cotton" but got a "same old poly cotton blend" that can be had anywhere for much cheaper.

This is the best looking shirt, design and cutting. The fit is good, hands down on that, drying and anti odor like legendary. But, pilling up is serious!! Really like it but the pilling is making me to not wear it, because it gets worse and worse.......I do not want them just in my closet..

Maybe it's because the bar was set so high with the original Charged Cotton shirts, but these are just disappointing. They don't fit as nice, the stretch isn't there, the comfort is way down and they just feel cheaper on the whole. Please bring back the originals.

I've been buying these shirts the past couple years. I thought they were the best. They've been my go to for work and play. They fit and felt amazingly. I was about to order some more until I started reading the horrible reviews they've been getting on here. I told myself that this could not be true, so I went try one on at my local sports store to see for myself. I was disappointed.....the fit was tighter. The feel was not the same, and it did not stretch and flex with my movements. What a bummer....I can see how the new version of these shirts totally cut off one aspect of your customer base. I recommend UA revisit this line/technology. Bring back my shirts! Call it ChargedCotton Classic or whatever.

From reading the reviews and purchasing a sub-par new Charged Cotton shirt (which I returned), it sounds like you're hearing loyal customers but you're not listening. The 95% cotton/5% elastane shirts with the "Charged Cotton" messaging on them were perfect and I don't understand why you would try to fix something that isn't broken. I love these shirts and you had the formula right the first time! If I wanted a synthetic shirt, I'd buy your UA tech gear polyester shirt. I had 11 of the original CC shirts because they felt like cotton & worked great at the gym. However, I will not buy another one until you return the original CC back to your lineup. If I could give your new CC shirt zero stars, I would. The new shirt feels cheap and gimmicky.

The new "sport style" charged cotton shirts are much cheaper feeling than the old style. cheaper, thinner, less comfortable fabric, cheaper logo, etc. I was a huge fan of the old style but have returned the newer sportstyle shirts I ordered. Wish UA would bring the old ones back.

I have been wearing the last gen charged cotton tees and they are soft, loose fitting and extremely comfortable. This new version cuts the cotton content down which makes the shirts feel itchy/scratchy. The sizing is now running at least one size small as well. Had to send back my order of 4 tees and will look for a different manufacturer now as Under Armour no longer fits the bill.

Bring back the original Charge Cotton T-Shirts!!!!!! I picked up a new one and am very disappointed. I lived in those t-shirts in the summer but now I have to look elsewhere. The "new version" is horrible. I'd give these new shirts a zero rating if I could.

I love them. I have over 10 in varying stages of wear & tear. They are practically impossible to find anywhere online (especially XLs in decent colors). Please, please, please bring them back. These are literally the best t-shirts I've ever owned.

BRING BACK THE OLD! I have been wearing these for years and have a drawer full of them. I ordered new ones and quality and material is very poor.

The charged cotton shirts have become so thin and cheaply made. The quality is poor. When I take the shirt off I grab by the collar to pull it off I can hear the fabric tearing. I could read a book through the shirt, that is how thin and poorly constructed UA items have become. I am willing to pay for quality. These are not quality at all and I am done with Under Armor as a brand. UA used to make a good product, but no more.

The "updated" version feels thin and synthetic- not an improvement

Agreeing with previous posts. Bring back the old Charged Cotton T-shirt and sleeveless Shirts. I have purchased and return what I thought was the "Original Blend" Only to find the new didn't fit or feel like the old. First of all, UA needs to add product specification details....i.e.....percentages of materials within the specific piece of apparel. Cotton, polyester, elastane..... I understand the Original Charged Cotton T-Shirts were 95% cotton and 5% elastane and really did not need to be changed! I would buy a dozen of the old blend just to have spares in case you decided to fool around with the blend again.

I bought dozens of the old kind and loved them. Please start making them again. Thay are the best. The new kind is not near as comfortable for me at all. Another's thing is I have a tall torso which make me need tall shirts to be able to go below my waist. I have to order 3xl to get the length even though I wear a 2xl

So can I start by saying that I have 10-15 of the older 95% cotton charged cotton shirts and they were and are the best workout/gym shirts and overall shirts I have ever owned. The switch in fabric is hugely disappointing as well as the sizing seems to have changed. I received 5 of the new ones for a Christmas gift and definitely won't be replacing my older generation ones with these. If I could return the new ones I would. If you go back to the old material I would gladly keep buying them as I loved these shirts. Thanks

No reason to change a good thing like others said. The original Charged Cotton fabric was better in every way. UA, please bring it back and get rid of this Sportstyle stuff!

I had bought 2-3 UA Charged Cotton t-shirts in several different colors (grey and dark blue were my favorites). I wore them all the time, and have been trying to get new ones to replace them. Apparently though, UA has changed the material of the Charged Cotton to be more like their performance gear. WHY??? That was the perfect t-shirt. It felt like real cotton but wicked away better and dried faster. I bought a couple of the new versions and have returned them....guess I will have to find a new perfect t-shirt from another company. Very disappointing.

I've bought 10-15 of these shirts, I don't like the way they feel. I will start buying them again when they go back to mostly cotton and not so much polyester.

I'm 6'3" and the XL size is too tight (more like an athletic cut) while the XXL is so long it looks like I'm wearing a dress. Sleeves aren't long enough for my liking either. Look, if you offer a "LOOSE" fit it should be made for the person trying to lose some weight. Look around most gym's and what do you see? About 50% of the people packing an extra 10-20 pounds or more. And none of them can't wear this shirt because a "LOOSE" fit runs too tight on the width! There should be an athletic cut for those already in good shape and a loose fit for those that are not. UA is really dropping the ball here -losing a ton of sales because they make these shirts so tight. Also, what happened to the 95% cotton shirts? They got rave reviews here so why change it up with a tri-blend that nobody likes?

Saw your response below about still having the old Charged Cotton on the site. They are on the site but you never have any stock available in Large. Was happy to see more colors show up on that section but still no more stock. Keep both versions of the shirt if people like them, just restock the old for us loyal customers.
