Armour® fleece UNDER ARMOUR®

Only twenty-three-year-old footballer Kevin Plank couldn't stand having to constantly change his sweaty cotton shirts in hot weather. He experimented with fabric combinations and locked himself in his grandmother's basement until he crafted what he dreamed of: a shirt that dries well and cools. Within two years, he moved from selling out of a car trunk to producing and selling through traditional channels. The year was 1996. The brand has since celebrated more than 20 years of existence.

Like many other brands, Under Armour boasts special technologies that enhance its materials. We don't have to get too used to new terminology, because we can easily deduce for what kind of weather a chosen piece of clothing with a given technology is intended. HeatGear^® is for activity above 24°C, ColdGear^® is a double-layered fabric for cold from 13°C and below.

For other and variable weather, fabrics equipped with AllSeasonGear^® are suitable. But the list doesn't end there. The advanced brand has many other "gadgets" for wind, rain, and sun protection. It doesn't stop at antibacterial treatment or functional materials that feel like cotton.

We can take a closer look at one of the technologies. It is UNDER ARMOUR^® Armour^® fleece. The main feature of this technology is its ability to eliminate the odor of sweat produced by athletes. At the same time, it is capable of keeping them at an ideal temperature and comfort. It is a relatively new technology, yet it has already gained wider recognition not only among sports enthusiasts. Clothing with this technology has a soft, brushed interior, which also helps retain heat. Other advantages of materials with this technology include the ability to repel external elements.
