So, let me start off by saying that I'm one of those morons who wants everything Under Armour makes. I've got the hot gear, the cold gear, more cold gear, cold gear with armourblock, the gloves, the hats, etc... Pretty gay, I know.

Anyway, they've got this new stuff out called "UA Capture" - which is *supposedly* the latest and greatest in scent containment baselayer technology.

But what the hell is it?

$74.99 Bend over homeboy.

From the Cabela's site: The proven performance of Under Armour ColdGear® now has the added benefit of Capture Scent Technology, which is engineered to trap human odors before they reach the outside of the garment. Unlike carbon-based scent systems, this technology works whether it gets wet or not, and has the capacity to hold more human scent than any other system. Plus, the scent just washes out with soap and water in your washing machine. No special care is needed. The nylon face of the ColdGear fabric is enhanced for more durability, so this base layer can be your only layer if the weather permits.

My question is: Does this stuff have a silver material coating, or is it the same anti-microbial material as was in the armourblock? No heat reactivation means no carbon. I'd guess that means that it's a silver-based product.

Anybody have any idea? I can find no information on their site. I already have the armourblock stuff, and don't want to spend $150 on a new set of the same clothes that I already have - just under the guise of a new logo or ad campaign.

I don't know what it is, but I had the money, and bought it. Weird you posted this.

I'll be wearing it, friday.

I now have:

Base layers 4.0 gold gear tops/bottoms
Ua Capture
UA cold gear sweatshirt
UA gloves, hat, and facemask.
UA socks

I'm a moron too.

I don't know if it's worth the extra $50, but I agree with you about how good UA stuff feels to wear. I love it in early season when I sweat on the way in. After 5 minutes of cool down I feel like I'm dry as a bone with that stuff on.

I also started with the cold gear, but mine is still going strong. Fading doesn't bother me though.

Bullcocky - that Gray Wolf stuff looks like $5 bdu camo that they hawk at the local flea market.

I cant make fun, Ill have some cold gear this winter.:D

I need a warm but lightweight base layer....this should be the ticket. just gotta find it onsale somewhere now.[8D]

Ok, im a huge fan of under armour. In fact my coach in college made it a necessary part of our uniform for all games and practices.(didnt really matter cause everyone was already wearing it)

I wear the cold gear now and love it and im probably going to go by the capture too. Everything I have read make sense to me, and yeah its expensive but so is scent lok.

for most of the guys who hate UA its typically because they hate to look at them selfs in the mirror wearing it. the truth hurts!!!

I wouldnt go throwin that around on a site with a bunch of old saggy men![8D]:D

I got a UA knock off set that treats me pretty good, i may have to give this a test though!

Still cant picture myself spending $75 on a shirt UnderAmour or Scentblocker. To me thats what they make cover scents for and they are a lot cheaper and plus, JUST HUNT THE WIND!

I have a pile of UA stuff. I bought it 11 bucks and item in the cave at Cabelas when I work there, LOL

The above would cost me about 30 bucks for pants and shirt[:@]

:DLMAO....Quit it Quick, my side is hurting :D:D

UA makes good stuff....but its just too expensive. IMO

For what you get anyway. I mean there are identical products to it out there, for half the price. I will admit though, after wearing these type clothes as base layers, wearing cotton against your skin almost makes ya not want to head out now. lol

I kinda find it humorous you called out GWW as ridiculously priced,but own every UA product known to man.:D

See, it started out innocently, when I bought a coldgear shirt for Intramural Football. It had sex with my skin, and was the best I've ever had. So, I started using it for hunting. Over time, my affections grew, and eventually, I asked the shirt to marry me. My shirt, however, became lonely - so I bought pants to go with the shirt for skiing/hunting. (That was back when these things were $25 each.) Those were the good times.

My marriage to the UA became rocky when I wore them so much that they started to get fuzzy and fade. Like any married man whose wifegot old andworn out,I replaced it with a second set - this time with the armourblock. Somehow, the price jumped to $49.99 this time around. I took my butt-raping and bought it.

Now, mysecond setis fuzzy and snagged-up. It's alsofaded some ugly pinkish-orange color. I can't complain though, b/c I wear this stuff about 50x per year, and scent wash after every use. That's 100 washings in 2 seasons.

So here I am, back at square-one, needing new UA base layers, and I'm wondering whether it's worth the extra $50 to buy the "Capture" line, instead of the $100 set of Armourblock.

I'm a huge cheapass, so squeezing this extra $50 out is going to be received about as well as an enema.
