UNDER ARMOUR HeatGear Armour Long Sleeve Undershirt 1361524 Men's Wear Spring/Summer Model

Founded in the United States in 1996, performance brand Under Armour has guided many athletes to improve their performance under its brand mission of "bringing about evolution." Founder Kevin Plank, a former college American football player, found the cotton T-shirts worn underneath protective gear to be heavy with sweat and uncomfortable, clinging to the body. He wanted to develop a functional alternative to cotton shirts. This desire led to the creation of the world's first body-hugging "compression wear." The company has now grown into one of the world's leading performance apparel brands.
The brand name Under Armour comes from the fact that the distinctive, body-hugging clothing is "armor worn under a uniform for athletes to fight in." The company offers apparel equipped with innovative technology for all athletes who want to become stronger and better than they are now.
