Sponsor Profile // UNDER ARMOUR

It started with a simple plan to make a superior T-shirt. A shirt that provided compression and wicked perspiration off your skin rather than absorb it. A shirt that worked with your body to regulate temperature and enhance performance.

Founded in 1996 by former University of Maryland football player Kevin Plank, Under Armour is the originator of performance apparel – gear engineered to keep athletes cool, dry and light throughout the course of a game, practice or workout. The technology behind Under Armour’s diverse product assortment for men, women and youth is complex, but the program for reaping the benefits is simple: wear HeatGear® when it’s hot, ColdGear® when it’s cold, and AllSeasonGear® between the extremes.

Under Armour’s mission is to provide the world with technically advanced products engineered with our superior fabric construction, exclusive moisture management, and proven innovation. Every Under Armour product is doing something for you; it’s making you better.

Shaun wears Under Armour when he rows. The moisture transport technology wicks away sweat and moisture to keep him as dry as possible so that there is no chaffage and unwanted rash. The 30+ UPF rating also shields his skin from the sun’s harmful rays. As well as this Shaun wears the compression gear for recovery after a hard day on the oars.

Under Armour is available from all Sterling Sports stores throughout the country.

   Under Armour, we acknowledge you for your support of Quincey during his expedition. Your product has ensured that he has minimal rash problems, that he has been protected from those harsh sun’s rays over the Tassie, and also your gear has assited his recovery. For that we thank you very much indeed!
