It was the investment in Science and Engineering
Competition Suits
• high-tech apparel that helps athletes be as competitive as possible
• Under Armour Innovation- "You want something that really slips through the air and doesn't add any wind resistance, as well as any resistance to your limbs as you move along the track,"• Aerodynamic• Drag• Synthetic polymers• Wind resistance
