Product Overview
The Under Armour Rival woven windbreaker trousers are a sophisticated solution for professionals and athletes who require dependable protection without the burden of heavy, restrictive layers. Engineered with UA Storm technology, these trousers offer a superior water-repellent finish that does not compromise the garment's breathability, ensuring you remain dry and comfortable during outdoor tasks. Part of the UA Woven collection, these trousers are designed to keep muscles warm and ready for action while remaining remarkably compact for transport.
Key Features

- Wind-Resistant Materials: Specific fabric engineering shields the wearer from biting winds, helping to maintain core temperature during outdoor exposure.
- Ankle Zips: These allow for rapid ventilation when the intensity increases and facilitate easy removal over footwear, saving time during transitions.
- Encased Elastic Waistband: Featuring an external drawcord, this design ensures a secure, adjustable fit that stays in place throughout the day.
- Sustainable Construction: Manufactured from 100% recycled polyester, these trousers support corporate environmental initiatives without sacrificing performance.
Design & Performance
The performance of these trousers lies in the lightweight nature of the ripstop weave. Unlike traditional heavy-duty work trousers, the UA Rival windbreakers offer a high strength-to-weight ratio, meaning they can withstand the rigours of a busy shift while feeling almost weightless on the body. The inclusion of a fluorine-free water-repellent treatment demonstrates a commitment to modern safety and environmental standards, ensuring the garment is as responsible as it is functional.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
At MyWorkwear, we understand that your branding is a reflection of your professional standards. These windbreaker trousers are suitable for both print and embroidery. For a formal, enduring corporate identity, our high-quality embroidery is recommended for logos on the thigh or hip area. Alternatively, if your requirements involve larger, more vibrant graphics, our technical print processes ensure a sharp finish that moves with the lightweight fabric. Every customisation is handled in-house by our expert team in Telford, ensuring the precision we have been known for since 1976.
Use Cases
These trousers are ideal for sports coaches, site supervisors, and delivery professionals who require a professional appearance with the technical performance of activewear. They serve as an excellent outer layer for warm-ups or as a protective shell during light rain and windy conditions. Their ability to pack down small makes them a perfect addition to a vehicle-based kit or a commuter bag.

Practical Advice
These trousers are designed with a generous fit to allow for ease of movement. For those planning to wear these over base layers or shorts, we recommend sticking to your standard size. The ankle zips are particularly useful for those wearing work boots, allowing the trousers to be pulled on or off without needing to remove your footwear.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical integrity of the UA Storm water-repellent finish and ensure your branding remains in peak condition, proper maintenance is essential. We recommend a machine wash on a cold setting with similar colours. Using cold water prevents the recycled polyester fibres from weakening and helps retain the garment's shape over time.
Do not use fabric softeners, as these can coat the technical fibres and significantly reduce the breathability and water-repellency of the UA Storm treatment. If you must use a tumble dryer, ensure it is on a low setting; excessive heat can damage the synthetic materials and the adhesive bonds used in printed customisations.
Finally, do not iron these trousers. The high heat of an iron will likely melt the polyester fabric and destroy any custom print or embroidery. For the best results and to prevent any chemical damage to the recycled fabric, avoid the use of bleach entirely.
