Under Armour ColdGear Mock Turtleneck

The Under Amour ColdGear Mock Turtle Neck helps keep athletes feeling dry, warm, and light in cold weather. Ideal for wear during workouts, practices, or games, this turtle neck fits snugly to the body like a second skin, so the cold can’t keep you from your active lifestyle.

The compression fit of the shirt assists in increasing muscle support and circulation, helping result in better performance and increased stamina. The double-sided fabric keeps moisture from the skin and circulates body heat, keeping the wearer warm without slowing them down. Made of 66% nylon, 19% polyester, and 15% elastene, the ColdGear Mock Turtle Neck comes in a wide range of colors to match team colors or personal style preferences.

Reviews on Under Armour ColdGear Mock Turtleneck

Good Good Good…All I can say.
I have one of these shirts that I use for rugby practice and games. I love the Under Armour brand, both for the quality of their products and top-notch athletic styling. It’s not too clear on the Amazon page about the different fits of UA stuff, but this shirt is definitely the compression style fit. Meaning it’s a very snug, second-skin type of fit, great for layering under shirts or sweatshirts. My only gripe is that I’m quite a bit taller than average, so the sleeves are a bit short and it’s tough to keep the bottom of the torso from creeping up while running around. For most people, I doubt this would be a problem. It’s the “Cold Gear” line, which means the material is a little thicker and heavier (and more expensive) vs. the “Heat Gear” line. Highly recommended.

As I expect!
You’d think that something as thin as this wouldn’t keep you warm, but in March 2009 I was in Kansas City, MO for a conference. I had this as a base layer and wore a good windbreaker on top of it, some thick gloves to protect my hands, and reflective toque. It was 18 degrees F at 5am and I went for a run in KC from my hotel to the Liberty Memorial and back, total of 3.4 miles. This, along with my Under Armour ColdGear Mock Turtleneck Action Legging Mens, kept me warm.
