Our verdict
Both are lightweight tops, but they are built for different jobs. The Amazon Essentials tank is a cheap, comfortable everyday base layer for lounging, layering under shirts and light activity, and it does that job well for very little. The Under Armour Tech top is a proper technical piece: moisture-wicking, quick-drying fabric designed to keep you dry and cool during workouts and sport, which is why athletes reach for it, at a higher price. So decide on use: for everyday wear and layering, the Amazon Essentials is all you need and the better value. For running, the gym or sweaty sport, Under Armour's wicking fabric earns its premium. Buying a technical top for the sofa, or a basic cotton one for hard training, is money in the wrong place.
