10-11 UNDER ARMOUR EVO Cold Gear Performance Apparel for Winter
Click on title for photo.

Founded in 1996 by University of Maryland football player, Kevin Plank, UNDER ARMOUR all started with a simple plan to make a better t-shirt. This t-shirt would be one that provided compression and wicked perspiration off your skin rather than absorbing it. This t-shirt would also work with your body to regulate temperatures and enhance performance by keeping you comfortable,dry and light during the course of the game, race, tour, workout or practice. The fabric for this type of wicking shirt is similar to some that we have already seen in the Cross Country Ski Business. UNDER ARMOUR, besides creating quality compression fitting, wicking, temperature regulating, comfortable garments for cold weather sports, has also let the world know how well they work through fantastic marketing.

New for Fall 2010 is EVO ColdGear, the latest innovation of their cold weather base layer. Under Armour has enhanced the construction of their ColdGear fabric. The exterior is slicker, (more slippery) providing improved mobility when layering and the interior is brushed so it feels softer next to the skin. They've added ArmourBlock, an antimicrobial which neutralizes the microbes that cause odor, to make it one of the most technically advanced base layers on the market. EVO ColdGear is fitted, but not compression, for "warmth without the squeeze."

UNDER ARMOUR clothing will work well not only for XC Skiing, but for cold weather soccer, football, track, biking, hiking, walking and anything else you may find you or your family doing this fall, winter and spring.

UA EVO COLDGEAR is 7.09 oz 89% polyester, 11% elastane. This stretchy, fabric allows maximum range of motion while locking in body heat snd accellerating moisture transfer to keep you dry. It is brushed for softness on the inside, transports moisture to keep you dry and traps heat to keep you warm. Thin thermal construction provides warmth without weight.

Men's and Women's EVO COLDGEAR Longsleeve Fitted Crew $49.99
Women's EVO COLDGEAR Pant $59.99
Women's EVO COLDGEAR Hoody $59.99
Men's UA Waffle Crew (loose fit, 100% recycled polyester) $39.99

The 2.0 is Under Armour's most versatile UA BASE. It's ideal for cooler conditions and a variety of activity levels. The mid-weight ColdGear® grid fabric is engineered for heat-trapping core temperature and fast drying moisture transport, which makes it ideal for XC skiing. It's built with flatlock seams that feel smooth against the skin and prevent chafing. Raglan sleeve construction on the crew, allows for total mobility and a full range of motion, while eliminating shoulder seam abrasion points. The strategically placed ergonomic seams add to overall comfort by reducing abrasion in high impact areas. ArmourBlock® technology neutralizes the microbes that cause odor before there is any odor at all, which results in moisture transport with maximum scent suppression. The fabric is 93% 4.5 oz Polyester / 7% Elastane. Men's Sizes M-XXL Women's Sizes S-XL Available in Crew or Pant List:$49.99 Special:$44.99
