Under Armour

Frequently Asked Questions

• What technologies and materials make Under Armour products stand out?

  Under Armour blends fabric and footwear technologies like HeatGear and ColdGear for temperature-specific performance, UA Tech and Charged Cotton for next-to-skin comfort, and UA Catalyst and UA TNP for lightweight, sun-protective fabrics. In footwear, HOVR and Charged Cushioning provide distinct cushioning and energy-return characteristics, while UA RUSH uses mineral-infused textiles aimed at supporting training intensity. These technologies are used across apparel and shoes to target specific activities and conditions.
• How should I choose between HeatGear, ColdGear, and All-Season Under Armour pieces?

  HeatGear is engineered for warm to hot conditions and high-sweat activities to wick moisture and boost breathability, while ColdGear is built to retain warmth without excessive bulk—typically best when temperatures trend below about 55°F. All-Season or midweight options balance insulation and breathability for variable conditions or layering. Match the line to your climate, activity intensity, and layering strategy for best results.
• What fabrics or lines does Under Armour offer for sun protection and recycled materials?

  Under Armour’s UA Catalyst and UA TNP fabrics are designed with sun protection in mind—UA Catalyst is noted for using recycled materials with higher UPF, while UA TNP offers durable sun protection and anti-odor finishes. The brand also incorporates recycled polyester and other reclaimed materials into select collections to reduce resource use, so look for specific product tags that call out recycled content and UPF ratings.
• How do Under Armour footwear technologies like HOVR and Charged Cushioning differ in feel and use?

  HOVR foam is tuned to provide a springy, energy-return feel that many runners and trainers prefer for longer runs and dynamic workouts, whereas Charged Cushioning delivers a firmer, more responsive ride that can feel more stable underfoot for lifting and quick transitions. Choosing between them depends on whether you prioritize a plush, rebound-focused ride (HOVR) or a denser, responsive platform (Charged Cushioning).
• What fit options does Under Armour offer and which should I pick for my activity?

  Under Armour typically offers Compression for a snug, performance-oriented fit that’s good for high-intensity training and muscle support; Fitted and Semi-Fitted for balanced mobility and layering; and Loose for recovery, casual wear, or full-range motion activities. Pick compression when you want muscle containment and circulation support, fitted or semi-fitted for general training and layering, and loose for comfort or low-restriction movement.
