Under armor became the brand for fat suburban dads years ago. I look for items from hylete, goruck, vyori, or any shirt that's a tri-poly blend for stuff first.

I'm not sure on the increased sales context though. I'm in that industry (kind of) so I'll try to find out.

Yeah, I had to give up on them. Weird choice to go from athletic wear to cutting clothes for Tony Soprano.

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll see if any of them will ship to aus. I dress like a fucking bum these days.

I've got some compression stuff from them and Skins. Its great for keeping cool in the summer. Been known to wear it on the building site and periodically dump a spongeful of water over myself. Sure, I look like a complete fruitcake but it's like wearing air conditioning.

Their tshirts and polos in the shops here have definitely changed to accommodate guys with guts tho. I'm not looking for a skin fit tshirt but these things were absurdly loose around the waist. Best part: I was in a retail store called Rebel Sport. And Underarmour was right. The last thing most of the guys in there competed in was a pie eating contest.

KK never bought or even checked their webshops.

Sometimes companies lose their original style and identity to accomodate for more monetary gain, i can understand that, to a degree.
