| For those weekend and more serious athletes who have learned the hard way about the unhappy union of cotton and sweat, Under Armour is here to the rescue. Founded in 1996, this Baltimore-based company started by simply trying to make a better t-shirt for athletes. Using its own unique blended microfiber, the company has grown exponentially since that t-shirt first hit the market. The key with sweat is to get it off of one's skin. Wicking is the term for the ability of a garment to soak up sweat and thereby take it out of the game. This better regulation of body temperature lets athletes play longer, more comfortably. Under Armour now makes a wide array of products for men, women, and youths. They expanded not only their range of apparel pieces, but also the range of temperatures for which they're rated. Look for Under Armour HeatGear®, Cold Gear®, LooseGear®, AllSeasonGear®, and TurfGear®, which are each aimed at different seasons and different uses. From runners to football players, Under Armour hopes to cover every athlete that needs superior performance from their workout clothes. Under Armour's very mission is to offer technically advanced products that incorporate their "exclusive fabric construction, supreme moisture management, and proven innovation." Check out Under Armour products online for some great deals. Whether you're just making a foray into getting yourself in shape, or whether you can't go a day without a workout, don't settle for inferior workout clothes. Under Armour's well-made, affordable apparel will last through sweat after sweat. |
