All Performance Apparel – Under Armour, Nike, and More

Under Armour, Nike Dri-fit, Coolmax, Gore-Tex, and Dri-Release are among the most recognizable names in the performance apparel market. Clothing have become extremely high-tech, with clothes that can keep you warm and dry while repelling wind and rain at the same time, sweat wicking clothing that transport moisture away from your body keeping you cool during exercise, and clothes that protect you from the UV rays of the sun.

With the recent success of underarmour, and the greater demand for high-tech clothing, just about all of the major clothing manufacturers have jumped on the performance apparel bandwagon, releasing their own line of moisture managing, thermo-regulating, performance improving clothes. For example:

Sports such as running, cycling, football, baseball, hockey, golf and tennis have benefited from under armor or other performance apparel clothes. Martial artists such as those practicing mixed martial arts (MMA) and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioners have used underarmor shirts as rash guards. Additionally, hunters, law enforcement offices, and military personnel have made use of moisture wicking/thermo-regulating clothing.

Commonly seen as clothing for athletes with the multitude of athletic shirts, shorts, compression shirts and compression shorts, performance apparel is not limited to physical activity. Casual clothing, under wear, and sweat wicking sleepwear have adopted high performance fabrics.
