There are four main ranges within the Under Armour collection this season, with all designs created with performance, power and prowess in mind:

  1. HeatGear

    HeatGear

    We all know that when your body works hard and over heats during exercise, training gets that bit more difficult and you tend to under-perform; especially when wearing compression gear. With the new HeatGear range, this feeling will no longer be an issue. Designed with an exclusive coating on the inside of the top, the material pulls heat away from your skin, allowing it to breathe and cool down despite living up to its compression function. HeatGear provides athletes with a longer lasting performance through the Mesh HeatGear® fabric and Moisture Transport System. With this four way stretch material, you gain ease in your movements and your sweat is absorbed and whisked away efficiently. This is the perfect design to ensure that you maintain efforts throughout training, working hard during the whole session, reaching new limits and having a strong performance right through to the end. Not only do we have HeatGear CoolSwitch compression baselayers available at ProBikeKit, but we also have tanks topsshorts, leggings and much more.

    CoolSwitch

    Designed for running purposes, Under Armour CoolSwitch is manufactured with breathability in mind – your body and your skin is given a cooling effect from light materials so that you can perform at your best for a longer period of time. The properties are the same as HeatGear, with the goal to make running apparel as cool and lightweight as possible to allow the body and skin to perspire well during exercise. As well as this innovative design, Under Armour CoolSwitch also looks good, so you can run in style to your heart’s content as you reach new goals and limits in training. Under Armour have combined the two ranges to create products such as the HeatGear CoolSwitch Compression Top and HeatGear CoolSwitch Leggings giving you, as the athlete, the best of both ranges.

    ColdGear

    The Under Armour ColdGear collection is another range of outstanding designs. In addition to the four way stretch material and Moisture Transfer System as the HeatGear clothing, the Under Armour ColdGear also has a dual layer fabric designed to maintain warmth and comfort whilst training.  Muscle recovery is essential to reach the top of your game in performance. During intense exercise, your muscles are pushed to their limits and sometimes are affected by this intensity. However, from wearing ColdGear compression from Under Armour, you need not worry about injury. The dual layer fabric not only enhances comfort whilst training, but also speeds up recovery of your muscles as well as reducing vibrations during exercise, meaning that your body and muscles can get back to full strength and and replenishment with limited fatigue and increased power. Under Armour’s ColdGear range includes ColdGear Twist Leggings which are designed to be irritation free, as well as a Compression Mock Top, Compression Crew Top and much more available at ProBikeKit.

  4. SpeedForm

    SpeedForm

    Running is a great form of cross training – not only to avoid tedium from constantly riding your bike, but it is also beneficial for overall fitness no matter what sport your expertise lie in. Footwear is an important dimension to training, and considering the properties, purposes and characteristics of trainers is often overlooked. People tend to just go with what looks good, when in actual fact, buying the right trainers can be a massive injury prevention strategy. This is where Under Armour excel in their designs. Their SpeedForm footwear is next to none in design not only for aesthetics, but for comfort, performance and technicalities as well. Cushioning with two layers in the sole is one of the main characteristics of SpeedForm trainers, meaning that that impact is lessened when running with less vibrations up your tibia (your shin) when your foot hits the ground. The second layer being Micro G™ foam gives the athlete an explosive take off as well as a responsive feel. Having advanced cushioning as such helps with the positioning of your foot whilst running, keeping your form, style and technique top notch with greater control in your direction. This is especially enhanced through a strategically placed rubber flex groove in the shoe. Shop now from a range of SpeedForm trainers available from ProBikeKit which includes the SpeedForm Fortis running shoe in a variety of colours as well as the Women’s SpeedForm Fortis running shoe available too.

I'm a runner at heart but since shin splints became a big part of my life, I turned to cycling as a form of cross training. I love riding track and am a regular on the Manchester velodrome; on the road I ride a Trek Lexa and I call it Toby.
