TREK TO THE SUMMIT

Under Armour Takes on Iceland for Reveal of Performance Apparel and Footwear Fusing Run, Outdoor and Style

Under Armour traveled to Iceland to capture the collection's lookbook with distance runner, soccer player and nature enthusiast Angelina Krawczyk; softball athlete, model and Venice Beach, Calif. native Cailee Grayhorse; model, influencer of youth culture and family member to basketball royalty Myles O’Neal; and former track athlete, celebrity stylist, model and artist Will Breveard.

 

Temperatures are dropping and stress levels are rising. 

 

Athletes wanting to battle both while traversing dynamic cityscapes and the backcountry need look no further than Under Armour's new "UA Trek" release.

 

This winter, the second drop of the "UA Trek" is bringing a complete head-to-toe assortment including new footwear colorways across the UA Valsetz Boot, UA Valsetz Trek and UA HOVR™ Phantom boot, with coordinating performance apparel made with Polartec® Micro fleece and Power Fill™ Insulation. 

 

Pairing its outdoor performance heritage with current style elements, Under Armour delivers this range of footwear and apparel to outfit modern athletes as they continue exploring new frontiers, pushing their limits and defying the elements. The assortment incorporates materials and silhouettes needed to perform at their best while staying functional and cozy, from low to high ground.

 

Performance Apparel with Polartec® Micro Fleece and Power Fill Insulation 

 

The follow up release to Under Armour's first "UA Trek" collection – designed to perform in any environment – features the addition of Polartec's newest innovation, Power Fill. The first 100-percent post-consumer recycled fill insulation, Power Fill offers maximum warmth without weight for cold conditions, and wind and weather resistance in the hoods of the apparel.

 

Polartec Micro Fleece, made of 100-percent post-consumer recycled content, has thermal air pockets to retain warmth without inhabiting breathability. The apparel pieces are durable, breathable, hydrophobic and fast-drying.
