Underarmour

Sign in to disble this ad
I usually laughed at underarmour and the people who pay so much for it, I know a guy who brags he only wears underarmour underwear. So I think snob. I tried a few off brands and it never did much for me..

I decided to give their 20$ boxers a try.

And LOVED them, most comfortable underwear ever! My junk is perfectly supported [unline anything I tried before] and it feels like im not wearing anything!

So I bought another pair and a undershirt. Love them both. I can't brag about the shirt and say its AMAZING or whatever but its nice.

With it getting cold and all I went and bought some underarmour base layer 2.0 for work 50$ a top and 50$ a bottom. I feel it keeps me warm for its thinness, but I can't help stopping myself asking if it was really worth 100$ for some long johns I really could have got for 20$.. Though they would have been cotton, Im not sure if it keeps me any warmer.

I bought this stuff mostly for work, because I work outside nomatter what the conditions and I like to be warm AND be able to move..

I also bought their facemask hood, but I actually bought it last winter, and agian for its size it does a great job, something thicker would work better but its great for its thinness.

Anyways do you guys think this crap is worth it? Actual Prices aside, do you think their stuff works anybetter than the cotton couterpart?

So far I will say for a fact:
Their Underwear Rock
Definitely does good controlling body odors.
Expensive

I use them for track and cycling mostly. I've got a pair of boxers, a set of long johns (shirt and pants) and a summer t-shirt. They all work beautifully and have lasted me for years. Good investment, I think.

Started wearing Under Armour when I snowboarded... the original compression stuff before they had Heat Gear and Cold Gear. Was good stuff, but they've improved over the years.

I spent years working outside at a lumberyard. HOT days I was wearing UA, COLD days, I was wearing UA... always seemed to work out for me. When I run, it's UA, and I've got a sweatshirt and a jacket that I love.

I'm probably the least athletic person to love Under Armour. But I do.

It's imperative to keep that junk supported.

I have some of their tops and I/they get just as whiffy after skiing as I do wearing cotton.

When I want a poly top, I find the stuff from Wally World is about the same. The Underarmor cold gear is heavier, though.
