    Yes definitely. But its the HeatGear you would need for the Summer, not the ColdGear. A L/S one is about €40 in Elverys.

    The Under Armour cold gear are among the best purchases I've made.
    Nothing comes close to their wicking ability. The outside can be soaking wet from rain or sweat and the inside is always bone dry.
    The turtle neck version seems most popular but I find the neck restrictive and the material is doubled up there so can be a bit too warm. I always go for the "crew" neck version.

    I have similar base layers from Canterbury, nike, adidas and nothing comes close to the UA cold gear.

    Found the heat gear ones good but not much better than similar brands. They also go to sh1te after a few washes. Loose the elasticity. Although I am talking over a year.

    Picked up two coldgear tops and a very good running jacket in there before Christmas for next to nothing. Then picked up a pair of UA running shorts only a couple of weeks ago.

    @munsterleinster, while it's good, it's nothing compared to the Icebreaker merino wool clothing http://www.icebreaker.com/site/index.html, they are simply excellent with the added bonus that you rarely ever have to wash them because of smells. According to Icebreaker themselves some guy wore one for 196 days on some expedition. Whereas I find the UA stuff smells pretty much straight away.
