UA ColdGear is Under Armour’s cold-weather baselayer line designed to keep you warm, dry, and able to move freely in low temperatures, typically around 13 °C and below. It uses dual-layer, stretchy technical fabric that traps body heat while wicking sweat so you stay comfortable rather than clammy.

What UA ColdGear is

  • Under Armour’s ColdGear is a family of baselayers and outerwear meant for fall and winter training, from tops and leggings to hoodies, tights, and accessories like balaclavas, hats, and gloves.
  • It is positioned as the “cold” counterpart to HeatGear: HeatGear keeps you cool in hot weather, while ColdGear is specifically tuned to keep you warm in the cold.

How ColdGear works

  • ColdGear pieces use a dual-layer fabric: a warm, brushed interior that traps heat and a smooth outer layer that helps manage elements and improves durability.
  • The material is lightweight, sweat‑wicking, and has 4‑way stretch, so it hugs the body like a baselayer without adding bulk or restricting movement.
  • Many items also use compression fits to reduce chafing and keep the fabric close to the skin, which improves moisture management and warmth.

ColdGear vs ColdGear Infrared

  • Standard ColdGear focuses on dual‑layer warmth, sweat wicking, and stretch for everyday cold training.
  • ColdGear Infrared adds a thin, thermo‑conductive inner print that absorbs and retains more body heat without extra weight or thickness, helping you stay warmer for longer in very cold conditions.

When to use UA ColdGear

  • Recommended for conditions roughly 13 °C and below, including cold‑weather running, winter sports, outdoor workouts, and as a baselayer under jackets for snow or wind.
  • Popular uses include:
    • Running and training in late fall and winter.
    • Skiing/snowboarding baselayers.
    • Outdoor team sports practices in cold climates.
