Any opinions or suggestions? I'm looking at grabbing a long sleeve shirt, and was wondering if anyone had any experience or opinions regarding these or other similar brands.

it combines wicking + breathing (same thing as nike pro).

wicking = drawing sweat away from your body (so you don't get weighed down)
breating = allowing air to get to your body so you can keep cool

Honestly, the most comfortable ones I've used are actually gaia (they mostly sell stuff to college ultimate frisbee teams) - but I don't think they function as well as the more expensive under armor and nike stuff. I find that the nike stuff can give a little nipple chaffeage. I hate that.

Get the one that's the best price.
Ideally, assuming the performance is the same. I do believe that Under Armor pays their employees more, and manufactures alot of their stuff here. I'd rather not support Nike Sweatshops if possible.

I'm willing to bet UnderArmor abuses a different country for manufacturing their wares
