Under Armour

Whether you’re a fan of Under Armour gear or not, check out the store in the heart of Michigan Avenue. When you walk in you’re greeted by a colossal torso wearing a gigantic Under Armour shirt. That’s not something you see everyday. This is something you’ll want to snap of photo of. You say you can’t take a picture because your phone is dead? No worries, check out the battery charger lockers on the first floor. Enter your phone number and choose a security image. Put your phone inside one of the tiny lockers, and plug in into the appropriate charger. Your phone will charge up safe and sound, while you’re checking out the merchandise. Upstairs there four are giant TV monitors mounted from the ceiling. Wherever you are on the second floor, you’ll get a view of what’s on the monitors. Last week I watched part of a Hawk’s game while browsing. There’s also a jumping game where kids and kids at heart can jump up and have the distance of that jumped measured digitally. The one thing that kind of weirded me out was the hunting clothes section. Do you really need trendy hunting clothes? Does that dead dear or even your hunting buddies care if you’re wearing Under Armour. The hunting apparel was like GQ meets Duck Dynasty. The shoe department seems fairly large, with a decent selection of women’s shoes. I wouldn’t say this place is cheap, but my friend said Dick’s Sporting Goods seemed to have better prices. So even if you’re not a fan of the brand, the store is pretty cool. Stop in and check it out.

Cold Gear wasn’t on «sale» in any way.
I was already at the Fashion Outlets, and my husband asked me to pick up a cold gear base layer shirt for him. I didn’t think cold gear would be stocked at the outlet, since it’s in season, so I guess the one good thing I CAN say is that they are a fully stocked store.
The clothing that appeared less functional, like t-​shirts and the like, were marked down somewhat. I saw some t-​shirts for $ 20 – 25. Any of the functional items, like cold gear or golf clothing, were still full price.
I understand that the Fashion Outlets isn’t entirely an «outlet» mall, but this Under Armour location specifically calls itself an outlet. If you’re charging full price, you’re not an outlet.
I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here unless it was the closest supplier of Under Armour.
