Yes, this new shoe from Under Armour has quite the abbreviated name, but the UA HOVR SLK EVO Perf Suede is a really good looking and fun option to have in your closet. Even with a complex name, it’s simply solid. It may not be a running shoe, but definitely has a running shoe vibe to it’s look. It has that standard athletic vibe to it with a rubber outsole and low profile. I have…
Here we are – a quarter through 2022 already! We have tried out a variety of gear this year and wanted to highlight a few of our favorite items. This isn’t to say that we haven’t reviewed a ton of other great gear since January, and there are items on here we just hated not mentioning. We encourage you to read all our reviews of apparel, shoes, and beyond. These are just the items we…
One event that we desperately want to attend is Outdoor Retailer. If you don’t know about it, it’s essentially a weekend’s worth of panels from outdoor experts, activities and presentations, and a great spot to for outdoor sports companies to release of their latest and greatest items and technologies. We continue to watch from behind our computers, but I vow to one day make the trek to Denver to experience in in person. At this…
The items in their RUSH line are engineered with fabric that supposedly promotes improved performance and energy return by providing the body with the same benefits to the body as an infrared sauna would give. Dumbed down, they describe it as follows: “[d]uring a run, your body emits energy in the form of heat – RUSH apparel reflects it back to you, thus recycling your body’s energy. This reflection goes back into your tissues and…
Under Armour is stepping up in the headphone game with their recent partnership with audio heavy hitter JBL. We recently tried out some of their wireless headphones (yet the buds still connected to each other via cable) and now are checking out their completely wireless earbuds – the Under Armour True Wireless Flash. So how do these hold up? Comfort: Clearly, these headphones are super lightweight. Though I had to do some work to find the…
It’s no surprise that we spend a third of our lives in bed, yet it sort of catches me off guard every time I stop and think about it. As runners, we are so focused in our mileage, routines, and groups that it’s sometimes easy to forget that we should really be investing on making sure our sleep is as solid as we can make it. There are so many articles and posts out there about runners…
Under Armour has recently released a couple new headphones in a partnership with JBL – the Under Armour Sport Wireless React (which is a below ear headphone) and the Sport Wireless Pivot (above ear) – that are designed with the active person in mind. Therefore, they are focusing on comfort (to keep buds from falling out during working out) and features that we would love. Let’s get into it: Comfort: Though these may not be “truly” wireless (they…
How many masks do you have? I would venture to guess that over the past 10 months or so, most of us have gone from zero to more than a handful. I know that in my house of 5, there are multiple masks for each person in the cars, in the house, in purses, etc. Hopefully with vaccines on the horizon, these won’t be needed as long term, but it’s still probably necessary a while…
This past September when I ran the Under Armour Mt. Bachelor 50K, I had the opportunity to see a bunch of the cool trail shoes they had. I have little to no experience with Under Armour products so I didn’t know what to expect but my friends at the race were more than excited to buy a couple pairs. I will say, I immediately thought they were sharp looking. The version they had at the…
If you haven’t been to Bend before, you really should make the trek. It is a really charming town filled with awesome outdoor activity options – one of which is taking a trek to Mt. Bachelor. In the winter, you can ski the slopes and in the summer you can run the steep, rocky paths. If you are up for a challenge, I suggest entering the Under Armour Mt. Bachelor races. This year, the race…
