ua coldgear
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.
