Nothing ruins a good workout like ill-fitting gear. If you’ve ever experienced chaffing, pinching, and slipping of your workout gear then you’ll know just how important it is to find gym apparel that is not only comfortable, but that stays put. While you may think all you need for a great workout is a good pair of running shoes, as it turns out, the gear you run in or exercise in is just as important for performance.
It’s this bugbear that Under Armour is aiming to tackle with its latest performance tech innovation – SmartForm. Using a unique auxetic (pronounced awg-zet-ik) technology structure, Under Armour says its new SmartForm range literally moulds to the exact shape of every athlete’s body, providing more comfort and ensuring no slipping or pinching.

For its latest SmartForm gear, Under Armour added SmartForm technology to its Rush fabric to create gear that works with you, not against you, during your training. The Rush fabric incorporates infrared technology that reflects your body’s energy to help you work harder and recover faster while the SmartForm technology helps to lessen distractions caused by fitness gear.
To accomplish this, the brand says it added extra flex into the already powerful Rush fabric for a fit so reactive and comfortable, that you almost forget it is there. Furthermore, breathable mesh in high sweat zones and anti-odour technology (to prevent the growth of odour-causing microbes) help you stay fresher for longer.
The SmartForm range
For female athletes, the Under Armour SmartForm range includes the SmartForm Rush Sports Bra (R1,199), SmartForm Rush Leggings (R1,399), Rush Performance Top (R899), and more.
For men, the range of gear includes UA Rush SmartForm Long Shorts (R1,199) and the UA Rush SmartForm Leggings (R1,599).
Under Armour SmartForm Rush gear is now available in South Africa.
