Training Trousers Under Armour

From base layers to training bottoms

Under Armour was founded in 1996 from a simple observation: its founder, Kevin Plank, could no longer stand cotton T-shirts soaked in sweat. His answer, a fitted synthetic top that wicks away sweat, laid the groundwork for a brand fully focused on technical materials. The range is then organised by temperature: HeatGear for warmth, ColdGear for cold, AllSeasonGear for the two. The training bottoms from the brand, based in Baltimore, Maryland, follow this logic of categorisation by playing conditions.

ColdGear and AllSeasonGear for cold sessions

The ColdGear retains heat while keeping dry: on a training trouser Under Armour, it protects the legs during evening sessions from December to February and during long waits on the sidelines. The AllSeasonGear covers intermediate temperatures in autumn and spring, when a mild evening can quickly turn chilly. This simple distinction helps avoid two common mistakes: shivering in bottoms that are too light during instructions, or overheating in trousers that are too insulating when workouts are back-to-back.

Fitted and loose cuts, leg length

Under Armour distinguishes its cuts on the label. The fitted cut follows the leg without compressing it: this is the best choice for running drills, as the fabric does not flap. The loose cut, which is more spacious, is reserved for travel and pre-match. Tapered models narrow below the knee to avoid dragging on the studs. For leg length, check the indicated inseam: bottoms that are too long bunch up on the shoe and wear out, while those that are too short ride up as soon as you get into a scrum position.

Frequently asked questions

Is a UA Storm trouser waterproof?

It is water-resistant: its treatment causes rain and snow to bead off without preventing the fabric from breathing. Under prolonged rainfall, water eventually seeps through, but the trouser dries much faster than a cotton model.

What does the Under Armour logo represent?

It intertwines the letters U and A, the brand's initials, into a monogram that is instantly recognisable. You'll find it on all its outfits, from compression tops to training trousers.

Has Under Armour equipped a selection during a World Cup?

Yes, Wales, which it outfitted from 2008 to 2020. The Welsh reached the semi-finals in its colours in 2011 in New Zealand and in 2019 in Japan, and achieved two Grand Slams in the Tournament, in 2012 and 2019.

How do you wash ColdGear trousers?

Inside out, at no more than thirty degrees, without fabric softener, which clogs the fibres and reduces moisture wicking. Air drying is recommended: the heat from a tumble dryer can damage the elastane and relax the waistband.

Elastic or zip at the ankle: what to choose?

Elastic keeps the bottom close to the ankle and prevents cold from creeping up. The zip, on the other hand, widens the opening for putting on or taking off the trouser without removing your studded shoes, a real time-saver on the sidelines.
