Does anybody wear UnderArmour when they go skiing? I heard it keeps you cool when you're hot and warm when you're cold. does it work? it seems too tight to wear for 10 hours of skiing.

i wear both tops and bottoms and its the only thing i have found that is better than patagonia capeline. i never notice the tightness, and it keeps me warm on the coldest days. try it

i wear an all-season under armour. it helps a lot, is comfortable as fuck, and chicks dig it when i wear just that in the lodge.

You guys buy the heat gear (keeps you cool when you're hot) or the cold gear (keeps you warm when its cold)?

i got all season and cold gear for baseball, so i use each accordingly. u really don't feel it on you after a while. the only thing is since in most or all cases, you will be wearing a jacket over it, it will not allow the transportation of sweat to the top layer as easily. it still works great, but u may feel slight buildup of sweat sometimes (maybe it's just me)

cold gear, t-shirt, technical fleece, and a shell works for pretty much anything.

Everyone should get the cold gear for skiing, it is the only way to go. The only time i take it off is when I am hiking in the BC or if i am building BC booters. I love the stuff and wear it even in the summer when i am bagging peaks.

i like to wear mine when i ski too..esp. the bottoms cuz they give u a lil extra support when ur takin big hits and shit..the impact isnt too cool or forgiving on ur balls sometimes....anyway yea it keeps u super warm too on those cold days but can also keep u cool on the hot ones

helly hansen prowool or any of the lifa stuff is by far better than under armour. UA is so over hyped it is not even funny

it's designed to absorb your sweat, spread it among the outer surface of the material, causing it to easily evaporate. it keeps you pretty dry, and yeah i use it. really works good.

Yeah, we get free UnderArmor gear. It works really well. Really nice stuff...too bad those football commercials are gay as shit.
