i personally  am the exact opposite, i have yet to find anything that i like better than underarmour for compression shorts or just the undershirts and stuff. in terms of outerwear i haven't seen much of either so i really can't judge yet.

i mainly use the compression shorts and heat/coolgear shirts. the compression shorts have just always fit me best and when im running track every day after school those things save my life. plus the shirts fit me better than nike or reebok because of my wide shoulders

im assuming youre talking about 6.0's outerwear, but both are looking so sick, Jossi's suit and  Bobby's suit we both ill.. we'll just have to see what they come out with this fall. Personally I think im gonna go Under Armour just because i really like that teal color of bobbys suit.

under armour stuff looks pretty sick, but just knowing its ua ruins it. 6.0 shit looks dope, especially those green and redish pink crazy ones jossi and tj wear.

It's just because they're new to making "spiffy" stuff for skiing. That and they're not really part of the industry yet

my cousin had an under armor jacket and was extremely warm with all the liners in it on one of the coldest/windiest days of the year. he loved it and swore by it

Just because they pay him to wear their stuff that doesent make them part of the industry... Well I guess it kind of does but my point is that they have to gain everyones respect.

Ya I realize that. That doesent mean that everyones going to go out and buy UA the first season they make anything that's decent looking. I have nothing bad to say about them, in fact I really like their stuff.

I have some really really awesome Nike ACG pants. Taped seams, removable suspenders, ect. They're super nice, and really baggy if you loosen the suspenders down all the way, but then fit well for hike and stuff if you tighten them up. They are awesome except the waterproofing is not that good. But for park I cant think of a better pant.

both companies have good lines and have have had a pretty good first year. the only thing that effects me is the cost. for their jackets its around 250-400 bucks and anywhere in between. my friend got a 6.0 jacket this season and it was only around $160

I just got my bright green UA scramjet jacket, it is so sick. Nike outerwear just seems cheap to me, the UA quality is good. Plus its a sick jacket, so many snack pockets. Plus it is pretty big, I feel like Ahmet wearing it.
