And that’s why we’re excited to talk about something we genuinely use and love: Under Armour’s women’s hiking clothing. Hitting the Trails in Comfort and Confidence: Why We Love Under Armour Hiking Gear Let’s be real: hiking isn’t just about the views (though those are amazing!). It's about feeling good while you're getting there. That means comfortable clothes that can keep up with you, whatever the weather throws your way. ILLUME ADVISING’s team has been testing out the latest Under Armour women’s hiking line, and we're seriously impressed. It's not just marketing hype; this stuff actually performs. What’s the Big Deal with Under Armour Hiking Clothes? For years, Under Armour was known for its performance athletic wear for training and sports. They've taken that same dedication to innovation and applied it to the hiking world, and it’s a game-changer. Here’s what we've noticed: Moisture-Wicking Magic: Seriously, this is huge. Sweat is part of hiking. Under Armour’s fabrics pull moisture away from your skin, so you stay dry and comfortable, even on challenging climbs. No more feeling sticky and uncomfortable! They use different technologies like HeatGear®, ColdGear® and their signature Iso-Chill technology to handle all sorts of temperatures. Built to Last: Hiking clothes take a beating. Under Armour uses durable materials that can stand up to rocks, branches, and rough terrain. We’ve put these clothes through the wringer on Wisconsin trails, and they’re still going strong. Freedom to Move: You need a full range of motion when you're hiking. Under Armour’s designs incorporate stretchy materials and thoughtful construction, so you're not restricted. Think comfortable bending, stretching and scrambling over obstacles. Sun Protection: The sun can be brutal, even on cloudy days. Many Under Armour hiking pieces offer built-in UPF protection, which helps shield your skin from harmful rays. This is a major win for anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors. Layering Made Easy: Wisconsin weather is… unpredictable. Under Armour's hiking line is designed for layering. You can easily add or remove pieces to adjust to changing conditions. Our Favorite Pieces (and Why) We've tried a bunch of Under Armour's women’s hiking clothes, but here are a few standouts: UA Storm Ridge Interactive Jacket: This jacket is a lifesaver. It's waterproof, windproof, and breathable, which is exactly what you need when the weather turns. The “interactive” part means you can zip in a fleece or other layer for added warmth. We’ve used this on multiple hikes and it’s kept us dry and comfortable even in pouring rain. UA Hike 2.0 Leggings: These leggings are a game-changer. They're super comfortable, provide excellent support, and have just the right amount of stretch. Plus, they have pockets – essential for carrying snacks, your phone, or other small items. They’re flattering, functional, and we’ve honestly worn them for more than just hiking! UA HeatGear® Mock Neck Long Sleeve: This is our go-to base layer. It's lightweight, breathable, and wicks away moisture like a champ. It’s perfect for wearing under a jacket or fleece on cooler days. We’ve even used it as a standalone top on warm summer hikes. UA Ridge Reaper Pant: These pants are built for the trail. They’re durable, water-resistant, and offer a comfortable fit. They also have reinforced knees and a gusseted crotch for added durability and mobility. UA Launch SW FZ Hoodie: A versatile piece for layering or wearing on its own. It’s soft, comfortable, and provides a good level of warmth. Great for chilly mornings or evenings on the trail.
