Under Armour Launches 'Charged Cotton' Collection
Baltimore-based athletic-apparel maker Under Armour has a new collection of men’s and women’s shirts and shorts featuring a newly created performance cotton called “charged cotton.”
The Under Armour Charged Cotton collection features a blend of hydrophilic and hydrophobic yarns developed by the apparel maker to offer the comfort of cotton with the performance of a synthetic. The fabric is made from 95 percent cotton and 5 percent spandex. The material helps wick moisture away from the body and dries five times faster than regular cotton, according to the company. Charged Cotton also has good stretch and recovery, which gives the finished garments a “stick-free fit,” the company said.
In addition to tees and shorts, the Under Armour Charged Cotton Collection includes women’s capri tights.
