Under Armour Cold Gear Crewneck Mens 0011 Review

If low temperatures keep you bundled during outdoor activities, the Under Armour Cold Gear Crewneck may be what you are looking for to hold in heat while physically exerting yourself.

The Under Armour Cold Gear Crewneck is designed to keep you warm in frigid temperatures. This is achieved by the special waffle weave microfiber which distributes heat throughout your body. These garments also have the other signature Under Armour features, such as wicking sweat and form fitting material.

Pro’s

With Under Armour, most of the sportswear is durable, wicks sweat, and is very comfortable. However, with Cold Gear, the primary feature everyone is interested in is the ability to keep you warm in cold weather. Many people that run or otherwise exercise outdoors want a garment that offers the warmth of a sweatshirt without the bulkiness and burdensome material. This is exactly what Under Armour Cold Gear Crewneck delivers.

Con’s

However, some people question the effectiveness of Cold Gear. It is important to understand that these garments are designed for active wear in the outdoors. It does not work efficiently when worn if not actively moving or exercising. In fact, if you are not mobile, Cold Gear may have the opposite effect and keep you chilly as it works to extract sweat from your skin, which is a natural heating mechanism. Under Armour Cold Gear Crewneck is also not a cheap garment. It will cost considerably more than plain t-shirts or thermal underwear. You should also try it on before you buy it, as a good fit is necessary for comfort.

Bottom line

When it is used in a manner for which it was designed, Under Armour Cold Gear Crewneck is very efficient. However, if you are looking for something to warm you are you sit and birdwatch or watch a ballgame outdoors, this is not what you are looking for. If that is the case, you will be better served with plain thermal underwear.
