What is Under Armour ColdGear®?
Under Armour ColdGear® is your shield against the cold. The compression fit hugs your body, acting like a second skin built to keep you comfortable when temperatures drop. ColdGear® features dual-layer fabric with warm, brushed interiors that trap heat without adding weight or bulk. It dries fast and wicks sweat to keep you dry when you’re putting the work in.
Under Armour ColdGear® makes you feel strong while the compression fit hugs your muscles and body. To us, tight is powerful. These materials work with you, not against you, so you’re able to take on those cold, early-morning practices, big-time games under the lights, and everything in-between with confidence. Four-way stretch material lets you move comfortably in every direction. That means every lift, catch, and play can be completed without distraction. Advantage: you.
Understanding How ColdGear® Technology Can Elevate Your Game
After Under Armour founder and CEO Kevin Plank created #0037 (AKA “The Shorty”) in 1996, which was essentially the first iteration of the HeatGear® T-Shirt, we followed up with ColdGear® in 1997. Like HeatGear®, you’re getting a baselayer that’s built to stay lightweight, and keep you dry throughout your toughest workouts. But ColdGear® features technology built to help you fight against cold weather so you can own the offseason.
ColdGear® uses compression-fit and stretchy fabrics to give you a powerful, skin-tight baselayer that lets you move where you want, when you want, without chafing and pulling. ColdGear® keeps you warm by trapping in heat, but it’s still lightweight and sweat wicking. That means you’re more comfortable, focused, and ready for the work ahead.
Look for features like ColdGear Infrared® technology. ColdGear Infrared® technology uses a soft, thermo-conductive inner coating to absorb and retain body heat. It’s a special, soft print on the inside of our gear that helps keep you warmer for longer.
ColdGear® comes in different types of gear to match your needs during the grind of the offseason or a live season. Our ColdGear® leggings wipe out that stiff, distracted feeling you get when you’re moving in the cold. ColdGear® zip-ups come ready to play, serving as an easy piece of gear to layer for the coldest days. And, ColdGear® accessories like balaclavas give you more protection against chilly winds on the field by covering your neck and face.
Mock necks not only add some more coverage against the cold, but they make a statement. Under Armour athletes are underdogs, and the mock neck look proves that no matter what mother nature decides to throw your way, you’re ready to overcome it.
If you’re a Winter sports or even a late-Fall athlete like a football or soccer player, ColdGear® is what’s going to help push you through your practices and crunch time. It’s everything an athlete needs to get the job done when the weather tries to stop you. Combine everything mentioned—the mock necks for more protection against wind, the soft and warm interior layers matching with moisture-wicking exteriors, the lightweight feel, and being able to move comfortably in every direction—and you’ve got an athletic essential. When it’s time to shine, it’s not the weather’s turn to take the spotlight. It’s your time to make a name for yourself. No challenge is ever too big for you, and ColdGear® helps you prove that.
What’s the Difference Between ColdGear® & HeatGear®?
The main difference between ColdGear® and HeatGear® baselayers is the season you wear them in. With ColdGear®, you’re prepared to fight chilly nights under the lights and cold mornings in the offseason. Dual-layer fabric keeps you warm inside and dry outside, all while staying lightweight and chafe-free.
HeatGear® keeps you cool. Its high-performance fabric wicks sweat away, dries fast, and the 4-way stretch material makes moving comfortably something you don’t even need to think about.
Both ColdGear® and HeatGear® keep you prepared for what’s ahead. Bad weather, hot weather, cold weather—you’re ready. The weather stops for no one, and neither do you.
ColdGear® is power. It’s the piece of gear that helps you push through your toughest cold-weather workouts and games. It’s what helps you make the plays that become the difference in a game, and the ones that everyone talks about the next day. ColdGear® is part of Under Armour’s story. So, when you’ve got it on, you’re actively writing the next chapter of yours. What’ll it be?
