The training tracksuits from Under Armour.
From Baltimore to Wales, the mark of performance
Under Armour was founded in 1996 in Baltimore from a simple idea by Kevin Plank: to replace sweat-soaked cotton with a synthetic fabric that stays dry during exercise. This obsession with performance later extended to outer layers, including training tracksuits. In rugby, the brand became known for dressing the Wales team from 2008 to 2020: for twelve years, Welsh players warmed up in gear bearing the logo with the intertwined letters, until the federation changed its kit supplier. Its tracksuits remain marked by this culture of intense training.

Armour Fleece and Storm: warmth and rain protection
Two technologies feature in Under Armour tracksuits. The Armour Fleece is a lightweight, stretchy fleece with a brushed interior that keeps warmth while allowing breathability: it’s suitable for journeys, waiting, and warm-ups in cold weather. The Storm treatment makes the fabric water-repellent: water beads on the surface in light rain instead of soaking through, without making the garment stiff or noisy. A Storm treated jacket paired with Armour Fleece trousers forms an outfit suited for damp winter evenings, common on training grounds.
Fitted or loose fit: which size to choose
Under Armour indicates a fit for each piece. A fitted trouser, snug but not tight, stays close to the legs during runs and shifts; the loose fit is roomier and worn over shorts, making it better for journeys. For the jacket, measure your chest: its exact size if it is worn over a thin undergarment, one size up to cover a training shirt. It's also important to check the inseam of the trousers, as a short leg will expose the ankle when you speed up. Wash at thirty degrees, inside out, and air dry.

Frequently asked questions
Is a Under Armour tracksuit suitable for rugby league?
Yes, warm-ups, training sessions, and movement needs are the same in rugby league as in rugby union. The choice is therefore made based on the weather and use, not according to the rugby code played.
What does the Under Armour logo represent?
It features the brand's initials, a U and an A intertwined. This monogram is usually found on the chest of the jacket and on the upper thigh of the tracksuit trousers.
Can a Storm treated tracksuit replace a rain jacket?
It protects from a shower or drizzle during warm-ups, but it remains water-repellent, not waterproof. For long waits in heavy rain, a garment with sealed seams is needed.
How to wash a tracksuit in Armour Fleece?
In a machine at thirty degrees, inside out, with similar colours, without fabric softener that flattens the brushed interior. Dry it flat or on a hanger, as a tumble dryer encourages pilling and may stretch the elastic waist.
What size of Under Armour tracksuit for a teenager?
The brand's junior sizes are indicated in letters, from YXS to YXL, according to the child's height. Beyond the largest junior size, you move to adult sizes by comparing chest measurement with the guide.
