Under Armour Iso-Chill Technology Keeps You Cooler

January 4, 2021 clothesadmin Comments Off on Under Armour Iso-Chill Technology Keeps You Cooler

Under Armour’s revolutionary Iso-Chill technology has been keeping athletes (pro or amateur) and outdoor enthusiasts cool for over 20 years. You really have to feel it to believe it. How does it work? It starts with the performance baselayer apparl. Sweat-wicking technology is a key part of staying cool on the pitch, slopes, field, and more. But a base layer can be the wrong idea if it is too warm. Think about a hubmid afternoon on the lake, or 18 holes in August. Heat causes fatigue – and your body will have to work harder to keep cool. This is inefficient because that’s energy you could be using for locomotion. Don’t reach your VO2 max too soon – that will negatively impact your endurance. It also means you’ll be both mentally and physically fatigued – and that’s not good for performance either. But that’s the sort of situation that Iso-Chill was designed for. How does UA Iso-Chill work? It changes shirt construction all the way down to the threads. A proprietary yarn that literally pulls heat away from the body [Read more …]

January 4, 2021 clothesadmin Comments Off on Under Armour Launches New Workout Leggings – UA Meridian

These are hot – get them now at Under Armour.com (We are an affiliate): These are the bottoms that make working out feel good. For active women, leggings are a closet staple in their wardrobe. But, you’ll find there are different types of leggings – for different situations. So-called “chill leggings” are meant strictly for around the house wear. They are super comfortable – but not for the active woman. In contrast “yoga leggings” have forgiving stretch that will hold up to any yoga move. And for CrossFit style workouts (functional fitness) you need “high-intensity leggings” – that can stay put in the right place while you move around. But what if there were one versatile bottom that could support a woman through all these movements? So, while soft, comfy bottoms are a woman’s #1 choice – they are often [Read more …]

Why is that? It’s a crossover between the Metcon line and the Free running line from Nike. You get a great midsole and outsole for running. The “Free” line is meant to better replicate the bare foot running experience. And it does that by providing a lightweight, cushioned sole – but not with too much cushion – as your bare foot running isn’t like running on a pillow! Here’s the “outsole” – or more simply – the sole. See those hexagonal (6-sided) foam blocks? Those mean that the sole can flex along it’s width AND length. Just like your foot will do while running.
