UA blows us away…

Beloved by athletes the world over for its patented sweat-wicking sportswear, Baltimore-based Under Armour has taken athletic clothing to new heights with its technologically advanced fabrication and sleek design. Now the company has introduced workout clothes with actual sunscreen protection. The dermatologist approved clothing is part of the company’s HeatGear line and contains SPF 30 and SPF 40 level protection. What’s more, the former T-shirt company now carries sunglasses, backpacks, athletic shoes, you name it. Could it be this once small company now an IPO juggernaut inspired the fashion and fitness craze? We think so. Lucky Baltimoreans get the home team advantage: a warehouse chock full of UA products, most of it at a discount. Bring it on. Under Armour factory store, 1010 Swann Creek Drive, Curtis Bay, Hours: M – Sat 9-6, Sun 12 -5, 410-454-6684.
