Anti Odor Technology

If you are involved in sports, you’ve probably heard of Under Armour. Not only do they deal in boots and footwear but Under Armour also makes gear and clothing primarily for soldiers. This is because they manufacture outstanding boots for regular ruckers and soldiers who hike on the most daring terrains.

One of the peculiar features of the Under Armour Jungle Rat is its anti-odor technology. To efficiently carry out its anti-odor function, it is equipped with breathable 900-denier ballistic nylon, which is well-suited to hot and temperate climates.

It is lined from top to bottom on the inside with an antimicrobial sock liner that helps your feet stay free from microorganisms that can result in infections. This boot goes the extra mile to keep your feet odor and infection-free, even after long periods of use.

Anti odor technology in boots help keep your feet clean and fit to help you walk or ruck for much longer

Slip Resistant

The Under Armor soles features a micro-lug, which is lighter than a regular lug sole and gives much-needed friction and traction on any terrain. The micro tread pattern of the sole is designed such that the heel is slightly elevated.

This is majorly due to the flexible nature of the soft sole made of rubber, combined with the heavy tread pattern underneath, giving the Under Armour Jungle Rat Boots more surface area to grip the surface.

Running is where these boots show their true quality because they give you excellent traction while preserving the flexibility of typical great trail running boots.

The surface contact design gives you accurate control so you can move confidently and swiftly with ease while rucking or hiking.

Slip resistant boots are important when you’re using boots on unknown terrains, it’s always best to be protected against the unknown.

Breathability

The Under Armour Jungle Rat Boots come equipped with tiny ventilation shafts that facilitate airflow and provides breathability for the boots.

The ventilation shafts not only do a great job with breathability but with comfortability and protection too. These ventilation shafts are guarded by screens, which prevent large particles from getting into your boots while rucking. 

However, you should know that smaller fine particles may slip past, but this does not affect the boots’ performance.

Why is this good and why should you care?

Foot care when rucking or hiking is key to longevity. The ability to keep your feet dry and cool when they heat up when you’re on your ruck or hike is key to preventing common rucking injuries and other discomforts like blisters.

Quick Dry

In terms of quick-drying, the Under Armour Jungle Rat does this in a cinch. They possess a remarkable ability to repel water droplets and dry out moisture quickly, thanks to the boot’s thoughtful and simplistic design, making it very suitable for hot and humid environments.

The Jungle Rat Boot comes with a liquid-repelling design to keep your feet liquid-free in any weather, and with medial-type drainage vents, they are equipped even for the swampy terrains.

Although it isn’t waterproof, this boot’s minimalist nature creates an impressive means of expelling liquid and improving comfortability in wet terrains.

The Under Armour naming them the ‘Jungle Rat’ makes complete sense and shows you the features they had in mind. If you are in the market for a quick-drying, lightweight, comfortable, and flexible boot, the Under Armour Jungle Rat should definitely be on your shopping list.

Micro G Midsole With Reinforced TPU Shank

The Under Armour features a micro-lug sole, which is lighter than a regular lug sole and provides much-needed friction and traction on any terrain. The surface contact design helps you sustain accurate control so you can move confidently and swiftly with ease throughout use.

The super responsive Micro-G midsole comes with a reinforced TPU shank which provides exceptional cushioning comfort. The reinforced shank gives you the stability and balance to always keep you on your feet even in the most unstable terrains.

TPU stands for Thermoplastic Urethane that is very sturdy, abrasion-resistant, and flexible.

The reason TPU shanks are used is to provide durability, elasticity, flexibility, and stability. They are also very lightweight and are resistant to chemicals and abrasion.

The Under Armour Jungle Rats are versatile, comfortable boots that provide flexibility, protection, and stability, and they are definitely a great pair of boots to acquire.
