Sounds like you are describing what UnderArmor is supposed to provide, wicking and fairly quick to dry.

Maybe, but I want inexpensive, because guaranteed I will destroy it the 1st time I wear it, and I despise compression shirts.

If you sweat, there isn't an undershirt made that will work and stay dry. I stick with cotton personally.

Quoted: So this is a weird topic, but do you guys have any recommendations for undershirts. I carry all the time, I'm a mechanical Co tractor and I have a farmette. I was just gonna pick up some (A shirts/wife beaters), but after talking to my brother and some other people, and finding out how saturated they get from sweat, etc I'm looking for something else. I would like something thin, moisture wicking if possible that I can wear year round, preferably wife beater style but with wide shoulder straps to go underneath suspenders. Any thoughts I normally just wear v neck cotton t shirts under my shirt for the day. Most of the time it's a polo. They work for me. If I sweat I they get wet but that's unavoidable in KS during the summer. |

I generally wear a t-shirt untucked, none of this polo shirt BS. Will wear an untucked button down shirt to church or family affairs, but I want a light weight undershirt.
So basically 2 layers in the summer, 3 layers in the winter. |

I use a regular Fruit of the Loom A-shirt. I always have one tucked in as a base layer. Can’t stand wearing a shirt without one. Guns more comfortable against your body & no plumbers crack.

I just wear a regular white crewneck (more comfortable for me than a v-neck but either works). Yeah, if you sweat, it's going to get wet. So would your overshirt without an undershirt. If you sweat enough. both get wet. That's what happens when your body is producing sweat.

Duluth Trading Company undershirts. They are pricy, but cut long in the body to stay tucked in and short in the sleeves to stay hidden from poking out. I'll like the free range cotton ones, but the armachillo ones are under armour like material and good for hot weather.

I’ve been wearing Nike Pro Combat DriFit compression shirts for a decade. They work great and have an extra long tail that keep them from riding up.

Whatever is cheap at walmart. I always wear one. I sweat like a hose runs. I need to wear one. They wear out quickly for me so the walmart ones are very cheap to buy.
Never had any problems carrying IWB. |

I live in PA, too.
It can hit 100 degrees in the summer w/80% humidity, so I feel your pain. And I don't like my holster to be directly against my skin, either. My solution is similar to yours. A standard cotton "Wife Beater" tank "T" under a Hawaiian. If I'm heading to the firing range, I wear a regular "T" and take the Hawaiian off and leave it in the car once I'm on the firing line as open carry is legal. I suspect that if you do some research, you might find a polypropylene sports tank top that would work a little bit better than the cotton type. I know there are polypropylene crew neck "T"s for bicycling 'cuz I have a couple, but I have never tried them out as a dress option for carry in the summer. |

Under Armor has heat great t shirts that are not compression shirts. I have a pile of them I wear under my vest as a LEO. They can be found for about $20 a piece, better on sale days. |

Under Armor. They flat out last for years.
ETA: Look for their fitted or loose shirts not compression. I prefer the fitted style shirts. |

I don't normally wear an undershirt when I carry. but if I'm in a button up I'll wear one. I use the magpul drifit style shirts. I'd say anything that is a lighter neutral color and has wicking/fast drying would be a good choice.

Switched to Under Armor compression shirts for base layer. They stay fitted to your body no matter what your body position is which means no snag points when drawing....love all my colors....I'm one of the lucky guys that don't sweat much....

I’ve been out of the US for a couple years but still have a couple kicking around. If it’s very hot, I preferred a Cotten a-shirt under a linen button-down or half-button. A better option might be moleskin on your holster and... get used to the handle of your pistol rubbing against you ??????? |

I wear a regular t-shirt of one kind or another. None of the white, just t-shirts tucked in and a button up shirt on the outside not tucked in.
I sweat a lot. I just clean the gun up when I come home if it's wet. They do make holsters (IWB) that are supposed to seal the gun away from the sweat. Special/synthetic padding against the skin, kydex on the "outside" to hold the pistol in place. |

Under armor or substitute moisture wicking compression under shirts are the best.

I like compression under shirts, they stay tight to the body and away from my carry piece so it will not snag on the draw. They are moisture wicking also

I bought a bunch of the 32 Degree shirts at Costco and really like them. I'm amazed how well they've held up with how thin they are. They feel comparable to the real thin under armour stuff to me.

Walmart has their version of underarmor shirts, they are about 7 bucks a piece and its what I wear every day. I work in agriculture and am out on farms a lot and they are very comfortable and wick moisture fairly well. Summer in TX they will still be soaked by the end of the day.

I wear a cotton tee shirt, no matter where I am (including my time in Asia) and under every top shirt.
Just get some polyester shirt that's long enough and try that. |
