When it comes to workout gear, the choices seem endless, so we asked members of Under Armour’s trainer team to clue us into their favorites.
While I love all of my UA gear, especially the UA Breathe Open Back long-sleeve shirt, for my own training, I’ve always been impressed by the high-quality gear for kids. My son loves his UA Feature Puffer Jacket — it keeps him warm yet he can move around smoothly for hours while wearing it.
Try some of these finds and let us know your favorites.

The Gear: UA Sport Wireless Heart Rate Monitor and Headphones
