Under Armour (UA) has revealed it’s new performance apparel line – UA Trek.
UA Trek is performance apparel and footwear that fuses run, outdoor, and style.
As you can tell from the name, these are outdoor focused workout clothes.
For the reveal, the UA team traveled to Iceland with some up and coming athletes.
Who is on the roster for the reveal?
Angelina Krawczyk is a distance runner, soccer player and nature enthusiast.
Cailee Grayhorse is a native of Venice Beach and also a model and softball athlete.
Myles O’Neal is also a part of the club -he’s a family member of basketball royalty (as you can tell by the name) and an influencer of youth culture.
Lastly, former track athlete and artist Will Breveard took part as well.
Let’s take a look.
As winter sets in throughout the northern hemisphere, temperatures are dropping.
And no matter whether you are traversing a dynamic cityscape or the backcountry – you need to look at UA Trek.
This is the 2nd drop of “UA Trek”. It includes a complete head-to-toe collection of gear.
New footwear colorways (color combinations) for the UA Valsetz Boot, UA Valsetz Trek and UA HOVR™ Phantom boot are all on the roster.
And UA represents style too – you can coordinate with performance apparel made from Polartec® Micro fleece and Power Fill™ Insulation.
That’s important to keep it warm in the cold winter weather – no matter whether you are in Iceland or anywhere else.
Explore new frontiers, push your limits, and defy the elements with UA Trek.
Let’s take a close up look at the key materials of the UA Trek line.
Polartec® Micro Fleece and Power Fill™ Insulation
As we mentioned earliers, this is the 2nd release of UA Trek.
And it now incorporates Polartec’s newest innovation – Power Fill.
What is it? Power Fill is the first 100-percent post-consumer recycled fill insulation.
It will provide maximum warmth without weight for cold conditions.
It will also be used in the hoods of the apparel for wind and weather resistance.
Polartec Micro Fleece makes an appearance too.
This battle-proven material is made of 100-percent post-consumer recycled content and works by using thermal air pockets to retain warmth without inhibiting breathability.
Further, all the UA trek apparel items are durable, breathable, hydrophobic (water repelling) and fast-drying.
The Women’s collection includes full zip fleece jackets with or without a hood, full zip mock and fleece pants.
The Men’s collection includes full zip fleece jackets, reversible woven snap jackets, a crew sweatshirt, a 2-in-1 tee and fleece pants.
The UA Trek items are now available on UA.com
UA Valsetz Trek
Outdoor performance in the cold requires a boot.
For 2020, UA has refreshed their UA Valzetz Trek.
This boot has origins as a tactical boot.
The UA Valsetz Trek is a low-top redesign that delivers speed, comfort and modern looks.
Highlights of the UA Valsetz Trek boot:
- Technical, hiking-inspired web lacing system to lock in fit

2020 Updates to the UA Phantom Boot
The UA Phantom boot gets an update as well.
The UA HOVR™ Phantoms are very comfortable boots.
UA would tell you it is like like wrapping your foot in a pillow that’s super-light – so much that you forget it’s there.
That’s a bold claim.
Under Armour has further enahcned these with a higher collar and the ability to shed water.
And now you have the world’s most comfortable all-terrain, all-conditions boot.
