There was a foot of snow on the ground, icicles hung from the trees, the temperature was in the low 20s, and the boys were camping! My nephews had pitched the family tent in their backyard and were huddled around a fire pit cooking hotdogs. As I looked out at the unusual scene from the cozy comfort of my sister’s warm kitchen, she explained. The boys were working on their Boy Scout Polar Bear badge. When I asked how they could stand being outside all night in the freezing cold, she explained the Boy Scout attitude toward weather: “You’re not cold; you’re just inappropriately dressed!” Then she told me their secret: Under Armour.
The original performance apparel, Under Armour was founded by University of Maryland football star Kevin Plank to keep athletes cool and dry during workouts, practices and games. Outdoor enthusiasts were quick to see the advantage of quality apparel engineered to increase ventilation and wick away sweat, keeping your body warm in winter and cool and dry in summer. Under Armour carries a complete line of performance apparel, footwear, gear and accessories for every sport and every season.
Hearty campers, my sister and her family are planning an early April spring break canoe trip in Ohio’s still chilly Hocking Hills. She’s been stocking up on cold weather clothing and gear for the trip on Under Armour’s clearance sale. She’s found some great buys and saved even more with Under Armour coupons on Coupon Cactus, including free shipping on any order through March 31, 2009. As a Coupon Cactus member she’s earning an additional 3% cash back with every Under Armour purchase she makes through Coupon Cactus. As my sister said, when you’re wearing Under Armour, whether it’s winter or summer, camping is “no sweat”!
