Under Armour’s most advanced backpack ever isn’t just innovation—it’s intervention.
Kuala Lumpur, 8 September 2025 – For years, athletes have carried the same burden – and we are not talking about expectations or pressure. We are talking about their bags.
“The athlete backpack is used more than almost anything else, but no one’s truly rethought it until now. We treated it like a performance product, because that’s what it really is.” Kyle Blakely, SVP of Innovation, Development & Testing.
Fueling that transformation is UA Suspension™ straps—a patent-pending innovation that redefines how a backpack moves with the body. These multi-directional straps stretch and contract in real time, adapting to your stride and shifting loads to create a more natural carry. In testing by a third-party ergonomics laboratory, the system readjusted the load, reducing strain and minimizing fatigue—proving that when your gear works with your body, everything moves better.
“It doesn’t just feel lighter, it moves with you. You’re not fighting the bag anymore.” Tobiah Taylor, Director of Accessories.
Shoulders and upper back—delivering a more balanced, almost weightless feel in motion. But while the UA Suspension straps are the breakthrough, the entire No Weigh Backpack was built with purpose.
Shaped by three years of athlete input, testing, and refinement, every detail was engineered to meet the demands of real-life performance:
- Breathable, moisture-wicking back panels to keep sweat under control
- Expandable 28–35L capacity, perfect for cleats, books, and recovery tools
- Quick-access zippered pockets, designed for athletes on the go
- Ventilated compartments to separate sweaty gear from everyday essentials
- “Level” strap adjusters and a floating sternum strap for a custom fit across body types
“We’ve always made gear to make athletes better. This time, we made something to make their lives better.” Kyle Blakely, SVP of Innovation, Development and Testing.
This is just the beginning. UA Suspension strap technology will anchor a full ecosystem of carry solutions – from duffels and travel bags to hybrid gear designed for athletes navigating nonstop days across school, work, and training. Wherever there’s movement, tension, or pressure—Under Armour is creating solutions to help athletes carry what matters most, with less strain and more power.
Because pain shouldn’t be the price you pay to carry the tools of your grind. This isn’t just a backpack, it’s a reset. The UA No Weigh backpack priced at RM499 is currently available exclusively to UA Rewards Members on the official Under Armour Malaysia e-commerce platform (https://www.underarmour.com.my/), and will be released to the public starting 15 September at selected Under Armour Brand Houses across Malaysia and online.
