TacticalGear.com Welcomes Under Armour


TacticalGear.com has added Under Armour products to its comprehensive retail offering. Under Armour is a performance gear and apparel company that has outfitted law enforcement officers for more than a decade. The tactical gear superstore is pleased to include it in its brand lineup.

In order to maintain a high level of performance, many police officers and tactical professionals aspire to be light and quick on their feet. That’s where Under Armour tactical gear comes in. For more than 10 years, Under Armour has pushed the envelope by developing innovative technologies. It strives to keep elite operators cooler or warmer, lighter and drier, and more comfortable so they are able to perform at their peak, day after day.

"We set out to secure a partnership with Under Armour because they build the kind of gear our customers crave—highly technical, efficient, functional with a high level of design," said Andrew Hoefener, COO of TacticalGear.com. "We are proud to include such a groundbreaking brand as part of our lineup."

Drawing from its experience as an athletic footwear manufacturer, Under Armour has outfitted its duty line with advanced comfort and innovative technologies. Its footwear boasts traits such as lightweight EVA cushioning and athletic-inspired outsoles to ensure a better fit for on-duty action.

The Under Armour Valsetz, one of its most popular tactical footwear offerings, was designed specifically to increase speed. Engineered to be both lightweight and comfortable, the boots feature Armourbound and Armourlastic EVA foam to provide extra cushioning. With a fit more similar to running shoes than duty boots, it carries aggressive tread to keep wearers surefooted and ready for action. Available in men’s and women’s sizes, the Valsetz comes in a variety of styles to fit individual preferences—such as low, mid and tall variations.

The Tactical Zip boot is another noteworthy Under Armour addition to TacticalGear.com. Its full-grain leather upper can easily be polished, while its ballistic mesh panels deliver breathability. Constructed for swift movements, the anti-friction lining prevents blister-causing hotspots. The traction rubber outsole can grip slick surfaces and discourages the caking of mud and debris. A push-through protection plate keeps feet safe from hazards.

TacticalGear.com now carries the bulk of Under Armour’s tactical footwear line and will be adding its apparel line to the online store in the coming months.
