Under Armour Wear Question
 

Hi..New to the Site,has anyone used Under armour Wear, and have any opinons on it,thinking about trying it, the cold wear.... Thanks

RE: Under Armour Wear Question
 

been wanting to try it, but it's so dang high. I mainly want to try the cold wear too, but thought the hot gear might be good to wear under my bug tamer suit.








Only thing is, I know when I put it on, I'm going to to look like all those buff mannequins they always display them on....then how am I going to do any good hunting with the hordes of women that will be trying to follow me to my stand ?

I have never used it in hunting situations, but I do play alot of Mens softball and can tell you that I quickly stopped wearing the under armor long sleeved shirts. It was weird, the cold gear, actually made me perspire, even before I would start playing, so then I would get cold chills. I have a $60 long sleeve shirt now that I dont even wear!

I have it head to toe in the cold gear and it is very warm. Better for stand hunting than moving around because it will make you sweat. It will heat you up but it wicks the sweat very well. And you automatically look like the mannequins in the stores.

thanks,its nice to hear some positive things about it ,since it is kind of pricey....

save your $$$, you can buy Nike dri-fit for half the price. I actually just got a whole suit of the same stuff ( Medal brand I think ) plus it has scent blocking for the price of one Under Armour shirt ! It goes under your clothes , but someone will pay 59.99 for the shirt and 50 for the pants because its camo and says Under Armour. Go figure , a fool and his money are soon parted.;)

Slugman,
You got a web site on that gear. I've used UA for years. It will heat you up quickly. It's like wearing a damp T-shirt in a breeze. You will get chilled if that is all you are wearing. I don't like to dress bulky when hunting so I play the weather forcast. I have used it in all climates and I like the compression. Helps prevent muscle and joint fatigue by keeping you warm. I use UA T's when I'm in uniform. I wouldn't use it on medium to warm days because of the wicking. Brings your scent to the surface. Does not trap odor and retains stink even after wash.

Nike's stuff is half the price , but the suit I bought ( just grabbed the box ) is Medalist brand that I got at dick's sporting goods , looked at the $60 UA top and was like WHOA ! This stuff was on the other isle. Medalist Silver Max , top is mossy oak was 35 and the pants are brown 30. Box says , heat regulating tech , Stay dry Skinetics , Used by Nasa and the EPA , yada , yada , yada. All I know is the suit cost 5 more than one UA shirt. No brainer

I have both cold and warm weather gear including skull cap I wear for football. UA is ausome stuff, when I'm lifting I wear a warm weather T shirt, it's skin tight and gives you a little extra spring, when I'm done lifting my shirt is soaked but my chest is dry. Great stuff.

Under Armour is officially the shiznit. I don't really care about the new Armour Block scent crap, but I'm a high school athlete, and when I take the football field, I'm head to toe in either Heat Gear or Cold Gear, depending on the weather. Heat gear really wicks away moisture. Metal Gear keeps you cooler i think better because of the mesh back. i have cold gear leggings and top for football that i just use for hunting. No way i'd go out in the woods with just Armour, you'd have to wear something over it. Last night at cabelas I bought a cold gear beanie and the new Under Armour Release Gloves. I've been messing around with the gloves, and I can tell you they blow the competition outta the water. The thumb and forefinger on each glove are fleece so you can wipe your nose without destroying it in the winter, and they're all grippy on the hand. Best bowhunting gloves on the market.

i seen it on ebay for the same price as the Metalist,what would be your choice than...Thanks

Just be sure to get the camo stuff. It's very important to have camo underwear. Got busted last year a couple of times and i swear it was because i wasn't wearing camo hanes. But seriously though the stuff is awesome. I bought some last year man what a difference.

RE: Under Armour Wear Question
 

Some of the best stuff to wear under your gear. Not just under armour but anything that is made out of that material. Whats really great is the shorts. Wear them instead of boxers, you wont get chaffage on those long walks. Hot or cold that stuff gets the job done.

Wack em and stack em!

They've now introduced the Armourblock - which is antimicrobial and scent free. I'm guessing that'll be the trick for hunting season.

My 10-year old son wears the under armour for all his sports and loves it - needless to say, I can't afford any for myself!!!!
