Under Armour Underwear

Whether it’s running, basketball, football, volleyball, all sports involve constant movement. However, these movements can cause chafe, or in extreme cases, rashes on the skin. Chafing is a common problem amongst athletes, and a key element of what causes chafe is the type of underwear fabric.  Under Armour has created a series of underwear that combat chafing completely. Today, Under Armour underwear has prevented countless athletes from experiencing chafe. 

There are three fabrics used to make underwear—wool, cotton, and synthetic. Each of these fabrics has its respective properties. Cotton fabric is soft, comfortable, and can withstand heat but is very slow to dry. Wool fabric is breathable, odor-resistant, warm but can become scratchy. Synthetic material is an engineered fabric to have the useful properties of both wool and cotton. 

Further, the synthetic fabric can do much more like dry quickly, wick moisture, stretch, and retain its shapes. Under Armour uses synthetic material to manufacture their underwears. This makes their underwear more performance-enhanced than regular underwear around. Detailed Features of the Under Armour underwear are as follows;

• Soft, breathable, and comfortable fabric. 
• Under Armour flexible mesh fly-panel & gusset.
• No side or back seams, which give maximum comfort.
• They stretch in every direction, accommodating and still retaining shape.
• Engineered HeatGear moisture-wicking fabric, which dries sweat fast.
• The engineered material has anti-odor properties, which hinders the growth of odor-causing microbes.
• The performance waistband fits well (snug but not tight), and they come with an Under Armour metallic wordmark.
• They are inexpensive, ranging from $13 to $50, depending on exclusive properties.
• They run true to size.

Under Armour makes performance underwear for both men and women. We’ll be going through each gender underwear and their respective features.
