Question for those that wear body armor everyday

[KevDen2005]

I am trying to figure out a better undershirt to wear under my vest. I can feel the soaking wet undershirt and complete discomfort at 7-8 hour mark of a shift and was wondering if anyone on here had any better ideas. Every winter I forget about that discomfort until summer starts rolling around.

Any ideas are helpful, I have been wearing 511 cotton undershirts for about 3 years now, anytime I have tried a different shirt I usually dislike it anymore

I hear ya.
I was even thinking about putting silica under it!
I wear Hanes, but some people wear one of those UA mosture wicking(SP).
I dont now it helps or not.
My trick is not to fully fit them, and make a little gap between vest and shirt.

Under Armour does have some "technology" that helps dissapate heat/sweat a lot better than regular cotton T's. Give 'em a shot.... well, shoot the vest, but give hte Under Armour a try! hehe

I used to use plain old Hanes t-shirts but worked with a lot of folks who wore Under Armour wicking tee's. What *I* saw was at the end of a 12 hour shift (which means you were in your vest for 13+ hours), what you wore under the vest made little difference; everyone was miserable.

off topics...

I remember when I had to do Kendo 2 hr straight with the Bogu (Armor).
Rather wear Level iiia for 10 hrs over Kendo armor sparing for 2hrs straight.
