Under Armour is the original company to produce all kinds of performance clothing. Their aim is to keep athletes cool, dry and light during the entire game, practice or workout. Their range of compression clothing works with your body.

Under Armour started making compression clothing back in 1996. They started with a t-shirt that provided compression and drew perspiration away from your skin rather than be absorbed. This technique of wicking moisture away from the skin became known as Under Armour’s moisture transport system and allows your skin to breath more easily, it regulates your body temperature and increases your level of performance.

Their range of clothing soon moved forward and they started to make compression shorts. Their discrete Under Armour compression shorts are perfect for wearing underneath your regular shorts. They will keep your muscles warm and help you to perform better. They create the perfect layered effect and provide maximum comfort.

As well as keeping you dry and comfortable, the Under Armour compression shorts have many features and benefits. This includes anti odor technology which helps to prevent the build up of microbes and UPF 30+ Ultra violet protection which guards your skin against the effects of the sun. Their compression shorts feature a 2 inch waistband and flat-lock seams which provides a secure and comfortable fit, allowing you to participate easily in your chosen sport or activity. Their design features prevent chaffing and allow full movement.

Under Armour compression shorts are available in three colors: black, white and grey, they are made from a combination of nylon and elastane. They are worn as a base layer and are engineered to fit tightly and comfortably against your body. These ergonomically designed compression shorts help to prevent muscle fatigue during intense games and training sessions.

Under Armour compression shorts come in a range of styles including heat gear and cold gear, these styles are perfect for extreme hot or cold weather conditions, depending on your requirements. There are also ventilated compression shorts which feature a mesh ventilated crotch area for maximum breathability and allows air to circulate more freely. They feature a double layered mesh construction which provides a supportive and comfortable fit. The double layered crotch area also allows for a protective cup to be inserted between the layers for added sports protection.

After almost two decades of research Under Armour have recently released their UA Core shorts which are by far their best compression shorts. These feature Coreshort's patented X design and aim to deliver support across the entire core area of the body, this being your hips, groin, pelvis, quads and hamstrings. This in turn boosts speed and muscular performance. These Under Armour compression shorts are worn by a huge range of professional baseball, hockey, soccer and football players. They are perfect for those who train hard. The support provided by these compression shorts allows you to forget about injury and concentrate on the game.
