Under Armour Charged Cotton shirts launched

Under Armour Charged Cotton is designed to provide a classic feel with improved performance

Under Armour Charged Cotton

The Under Armour shirt range for spring/summer 2012 will feature three new technologies that should appeal to a wide range of golfers. The new Under Armour Charged Cotton shirts are designed for those who still prefer the feel of cotton shirts but want improved comfort and performance as well.

The new Under Armour Charged Cotton collection combines 95% Extra Soft Peruvian Pima Cotton with 5% Elastane for performance and recovery of shape. To provide improved performance Under Armour combined each classic strand of cotton with a uniquely ‘charged' strand of cotton. This creates a Push/Pull effect that transports moisture from the inside of the shirt to the outside - the result is the world's first performance cotton golf shirt that dries five times faster than standard cotton. Charged cotton will be available in 6 colours and retail from £45.
