We test golf apparel the way we play. Hard, social, and honest.

Under Armour Golf offers gear built for sweat, stretch, and speed, but not for everyone’s body or style.

Verdict: 8.3/10

Under Armour Golf delivers what it promises: tech-driven, sweat-proof golfwear that holds up through heat, wind, and wear. The Iso-Chill polos, Storm outerwear, and HOVR shoes all impressed in real rounds — and the brand hits strong value when you catch promos. That said, the styling is rigidly athletic, sizing isn’t forgiving, and there’s little to love if you’re buying with an eye for lifestyle or sustainability. If you care more about gear that works than looks, it’s a solid pickup.

Key Features

• Signature tech/fabric: Iso-Chill, HeatGear, Storm
  Design language: Minimalist, sporty, logo-forward
• Fit profile: Trim/athletic (not relaxed)
• Range depth: Polos, trousers, outerwear, midlayers, shoes, caps

Pros

• Moisture-wicking, breathable tech that actually performs
• Excellent stretch + movement through swing
• Outerwear and shoes overdeliver for the price

Cons

• Sizing runs tight, which is not ideal for bigger/taller golfers

• Customer support and post-sale experience are patchy
• Weak transparency on sustainability or sourcing

Price Ranges by Category (RRP & Sale)

How Under Armour Golf Compares

• Under Armour vs Adidas Golf: Very close on price and spec, but Adidas tends to offer broader sizing and more varied styles (especially in collabs).
• Under Armour vs Puma Golf: Puma usually undercuts UA by £5–£10, with slightly more playful colour drops.
• Under Armour vs Nike Golf: Nike generally prices slightly above UA, with more emphasis on lifestyle design and streetwear crossover, while UA leans pure performance tech.
• Under Armour vs Three Putt Golf: UA wins on performance tech (Iso-Chill, Storm), but we focus on off-course versatility, comfort-first fabrics, and UK-fit tailoring — without the price creep.

Under Armour runs aggressive end-of-season promos. Many polos and pants hit 40–50% off within 3–4 months of launch. Adidas and Puma also routinely offer discounts, whereas Three Putt offers seasonal bundles but avoids deep discounting.

Verdict: 8.5/10

• Outerwear and shoes: Feature advanced performance tech (Storm, waterproofing, HOVR cushioning), solid value in this range, especially when on sale.
• Caps & accessories: Affordable and functional, offering good value around entry-level pricing.
• Polos, midlayers, trousers: Remain value standouts in both performance and price, especially in mid‑market tiers and seasonal drops.

Under Armour Golf Fit & Sizing (Usability)

We found Under Armour’s fit best suits golfers with athletic builds or those who like a closer-to-body feel. These aren't boxy polos. You’re getting a technical fit, dialled for movement, but if you’re broader in the chest or want a bit of breathing room, you’ll probably want to size up.

Notes

• Polos: True-to-size for lean builds. Size up if you’re between sizes or don’t want snug sleeves.
• Shoulders & sleeves: Slightly narrow across the back; sleeves are fitted, not flared.
• Body length: Longer tails keep shirts tucked during play, even with full rotation.
• Stretch & shape: Great recovery after 18 holes. No sagging, no baggy arms.
• Heat performance: Iso-Chill and HeatGear breathe well, but the tighter fit can feel clingy on high-humidity days.
• Charts: Sizing guides are clear and accurate, but there are no tall/short or relaxed-fit options.
• Women’s fit: Surprisingly solid performance skirts and polos in XS–XL with similar tech.

Accessibility / Range Callout

Men’s sizes range from S–XXL, but we found options for bigger/taller golfers limited. No tall fits or extended waists in trousers. The women’s range feels more intentional, not just a shrink-and-pink afterthought.

Verdict: 8.0/10

If you’ve got an athletic or average frame, the fit feels premium, fitted but not restrictive. But if you’re built broad (or slightly round like me!), or just want a looser silhouette, this isn’t the most forgiving cut.

Mobile Angle

Under Armour’s UK site includes a basic size chart, but no interactive Fit Finder or AR-based sizing tool. That means no quizzes, recommendations, or AI-driven fit suggestions, just static tables. It works, but it’s old-school.

If you’re familiar with your usual UK polo or trouser size, you’ll be fine, but for in-between builds or new shoppers, it could use some modern help. No fit reviews, no “see how it fits on others,” and no mobile body-scan features.

Verdict: 6.5/10

The charts are reliable, but the lack of smart mobile tools or real-world visual cues puts UA behind brands like Nike and Adidas for digital-first fit confidence.

Under Armour Golf Core Product Categories

Polos

What we tested: UA Playoff 3.0 Polo, UA Iso-Chill Edge Polo, UA Performance Polo 2.0.

• On-course: These polos are built for movement. You get full shoulder clearance without any tugging mid-swing. The Iso-Chill version genuinely cools on contact, no marketing fluff or affiliate links here! We tested in a humid 27°C round, and it held up better than Adidas’s HEAT.RDY, which was very impressive.
• Off-course: The styling is hit-or-miss. The logo is large and loud. These aren’t polos you’ll throw on with jeans for brunch, unless you’re comfortable repping gym-core.
• Care: They wash well. Minimal fade after five washes, no shrinkage, no collar curl. You can dry them flat or hang, no iron needed.

Verdict: 8.4/10

Midlayers (Crews / Hoodies / Half-Zips)

What we tested: UA SweaterFleece ¼ Zip, UA Storm Midlayer.

• On-course: Lightweight warmth without swing restriction. The fleece has a slightly brushed inner, which feels soft against the skin without overheating.
• Off-course: Still sporty, but more versatile. The ¼ zips layer cleanly under jackets and don’t look out of place grabbing a coffee post-round.
• Care: Machine-washable, durable. Retains fit and colour, but the Storm tech does stiffen slightly in colder storage.

Verdict: 8.1/10

Trousers / Shorts

What we tested: UA Drive Tapered Pant, UA Showdown Shorts.

• Rise & fit: Mid-rise with a very athletic taper, these aren’t roomy through the thigh, so skip them if you prefer a looser cut.
• Pocket depth: Functional, with well-angled front pockets. Rear pockets are not ideal for carrying a phone.
• Stretch under load: You’ll notice it most during full squats or tee pickups. The 4-way stretch does its job without bagging.

Verdict: 8.2/10

Outerwear

What we tested: UA Storm Rain Jacket, UA Drive Pro Full-Zip.

• Wind/rain resistance: Genuinely weatherproof. We wore it through 40 minutes of light rain and came out dry.
• Swing comfort: Light rustle on takeaway, but not enough to distract. Zippers don’t bunch under carry straps.
• Packability: Packs down into a mid-size ball and fits in most carry bags.

Verdict: 8.6/10

Caps & Accessories

What we tested: UA Driver Mesh Cap, UA ArmourVent Cap.

• Crown shape: Mid-profile with pre-curved bill — sits well without bulk.
• Brim stiffness: Holds shape through bag tosses and humidity.
• Sweatband: ArmourVent works. No forehead melt, even in 25°C+ rounds on a golf holiday!

Verdict: 8.3/10

Footwear

What we tested: UA HOVR Drive Pro Spikeless, UA Fade 2 SL.

• Traction: Excellent grip in both wet and dry turf. The rotational resistance is real, especially on the HOVR Pro.
• Last shape: Runs slightly long and a touch narrow in the midfoot. Go true to size if you’re regular width; size up if you wear thicker socks.
• Stiffness: High stability under load. These shoes feel planted. Not sneaker-soft, but you’ll trust them mid-swing.

Verdict: 8.5/10

Materials & Tech (Construction, Sustainability)

Under Armour leans hard into performance-first construction — and it shows. The brand’s fabric engineering is consistent across categories, especially in breathability, stretch, and weather resistance. But when it comes to sustainability or transparency? It’s still lagging behind more progressive brands.

Backend

• Certifications: No mention of Bluesign, OEKO-TEX, or GRS certifications on product pages.
• Recycled content claims: A few polos and midlayers use partial recycled polyester blends, but there’s no front-footed messaging around this, and no traceability.
• Country of origin: Products are made across Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Cambodia, Philippines), but details aren’t listed at checkout. You’ll only see them on garment tags.

Application

• Moisture-wicking: Both HeatGear and Iso-Chill lines effectively manage sweat and dry quickly. Iso-Chill especially impressed us in humid conditions.
• Anti-odour: Most pieces use UA’s anti-microbial tech, which is effective for 1–2 wears, though not bulletproof in longer multi-round stretches.
• UV protection: Included in several polos and outerwear pieces, but not clearly documented or UPF-rated.
• Stretch: Most fabrics are 4-way stretch with excellent rebound. The trousers, in particular, hold shape over time.
• Seam type & finish: Flatlock seams in key areas; no irritation or chafing even in tighter-fitting items. Stitching is clean and uniform, even in discounted lines.
• Hardware: Zips and drawcords feel sturdy. YKK-style performance zips in jackets, no snags in testing.

Verdict: 7.5/10

If you're after durability and tech that actually works, UA delivers. But if you're trying to buy more consciously, this isn’t the brand leading the charge. You’re getting performance, not provenance.

Customer Support

Under Armour’s customer service in the UK is generally reliable, with decent live chat response times and a straightforward returns process. That said, there’s no wow factor — no concierge feel or real above-and-beyond moments. It’s efficient, not exceptional.

Channels & Hours

• Live Chat: Available on the UK site during business hours (Mon–Fri, 9am–6pm). We got connected in under 2 minutes.
• Email: When we emailed support-uk@underarmour.com, it took 12 hours to receive a helpful, human response.
• Phone: No UK customer support number listed. All support is handled via chat or email.

Policies

• Shipping: Free UK delivery over £50; £3.95 below that. Next-day delivery available for £5.95.
• Returns Window: 60 days from delivery (as of August 2025), which is more generous than the industry standard 30 days.
• Exchanges: No direct exchanges. You must return and re-order.
• Warranty: 1-year default on footwear and apparel, but no extended protection beyond manufacturing defects.

Self-Serve Experience

• Size guides: Accurate and simple, but no mobile sizing tools or predictive recommendations.
• Care guides: Minimal. No garment-specific instructions beyond the basics (wash cold, tumble dry low).
• Order tracking: Enjoy a smooth experience via your account dashboard or email links, updated regularly by our courier.

Verdict: 7.7/10

Support does the job. There's a fast chat, no hassle returns, and clear tracking. But no real perks, no live product support, and nothing to differentiate it from every other mid-tier ecommerce experience.

What People Say Most

Praise:

• Functional innovation: Subtle but appreciated details like shirt‑tucking elastic in shorts get called out favourably.
• Technical fit options: Polo variations (loose vs fitted) are valued, especially for wardrobes needing length over width.

Concerns:

• Inconsistent fit across line-ups: Even within polos, fit can vary significantly, which can be confusing for those who size across styles.

Frequently Asked Questions About Under Armour Golf

Q: Is Under Armour Golf true to size?

Mostly, if you’ve got an athletic frame, polos and trousers are designed close to the body. If you’re between sizes or broad across the chest/shoulders, we recommend sizing up, especially in the Playoff and Iso-Chill lines.

Q: Does Under Armour Golf gear breathe in summer heat?

Yes, HeatGear and Iso-Chill fabrics both excel in warm weather. Iso-Chill genuinely cools to the touch and wicks sweat fast. That said, the snug cut can cling if you're in high humidity or layering too tightly.

Q: How does Under Armour compare to Three Putt Golf Clothing?

UA polos are more fitted and technical; Three Putt Golf has more varied cuts and a slightly softer feel. We found UA better for on-course performance, TPG better for versatility and off-course styling.

Q: What’s Under Armour’s returns policy in the UK?

60-day window, free returns via Royal Mail. No direct exchanges, so you’ll need to repurchase if you want a different size. Refunds are typically issued within 7–10 days.

Q: Does Under Armour use sustainable materials?

Some recycled polyester is used, but there’s no certification (Bluesign, OEKO-TEX) and no garment-level transparency. It’s behind Adidas or even Puma on this front.

Q: Are Under Armour golf shoes any good?

Yes, especially the HOVR Drive Pro. They’re stable, grippy, and feel planted through the swing. Fit runs a touch long and narrow. Waterproofing holds up in wet UK rounds.

Q: Can I wear Under Armour golf clothing off-course?

Some of it. The midlayers and rain jackets work well casually. The polos are more “sporty dad” than a style statement. For stylish off-course golf clothing, check out Three Putt Golf Clothing.
