Under Armour’s vision is to inspire with performance solutions you never knew you needed and can’t imagine living without. As the creators of an emerging wearable technology—infrared bio-responsive textiles—we are no strangers to introducing new innovation to our customers, and are proud to partner with Under Armour on their UA RUSH collection.
UA RUSH™ is Under Armour’s line of performance apparel that’s designed to be worn, as Under Armour says, ‘at the time of sweat.’ It’s the only Under Armour infrared technology collection, powered by CELLIANT® infrared technology, and features both men’s and women’s apparel, including tops, bottoms, bras, shorts, leggings and jackets.
While Under Armour aims to create apparel that “makes you better every time you wear it,” CELLIANT® infrared technology amplifies human potential by increasing energy, speed, performance and stamina. The CELLIANT-powered UA RUSH collection is the culmination of this natural synergy. As Dan Leraris, Under Armour’s GM of men’s training puts it, “This one is so pure to what our brand’s mission is, which is making you better, that we really didn’t need any other fancy slogans or missions behind it.” He adds, “We’ve always made products that you can do things in, but I don’t know if we’ve made products that do things for you as well. That’s a subtle difference, but a key difference, in what I think is Under Armour creating a new frontier, being the originators of performance apparel.”
Under Armour’s UA RUSH collection launched to the public in 2019 following a preliminary launch among Under Armour’s stable of athletes, such as Notre Dame’s football team, 2019 NFL draft prospects, and brand ambassadors including Warriors superstar Steph Curry, heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua, U.S. women’s national team soccer player Kelley O’Hara, and Chinese volleyball player Zhu Ting.
Following the 2019 launch, the collection exploded in popularity during the summer of 2020 due to the introduction of a wide variety of styles, vibrant colors and attention-grabbing designs. This growth was marked by new UA RUSH brand ambassadors like wide receiver D.K. Metcalf and U.S. Olympian and legend Michael Phelps.
One of many things we love about Under Armour is their commitment to continuous innovation, so we recommend keeping an eye out for future Under Armour technology. UA RUSH™ is already ahead of the curve, featuring several Under Armour fitness technology elements with distinct functional properties:
All UA RUSH™ gear features CELLIANT bioceramic infrared technology. CELLIANT works by absorbing and converting body heat from the wearer into full spectrum infrared energy. This is clinically demonstrated to temporarily increase local circulation and, improve cellular oxygenation and improve, boosting strength, stamina and endurance and supporting temperature regulation. The infrared advantage provided by CELLIANT wearable technology helps Under Armour, through the UA RUSH™ collection, fulfill its promise of optimizing human performance.
Under Armour ColdGear® technology launched in October of 2020 and is designed to keep your core temperature warm while training in the cold.1 It’s a lightweight fabric that sits next-to-skin. The back of the fabric features channeling that helps trap heat while still being breathable. Additional features of ColdGear include 4-way stretch, active odor control, and quick drying fabric. Find ColdGear in select UA RUSH base layers.
Under Armour HeatGear® technology is UA’s solution to keeping cool while training in warm conditions. The fabric is designed to be very lightweight, and to wick sweat away from the skin and diffuse it through the material so it can evaporate more quickly. The fabric is also highly breathable, perfect for hot days.
Under Armour SmartForm technology is uniquely constructed to flex to your shape as you move. The customized fit and unmatched comfort and mobility of SmartForm is ideal for applications such as sports bras and performance leggings.
