UNIQLO underscores the high functionality of its latest Sport Utility Wear collection at an exhilarating series of pickleball matches last April 4 at the MET Sports Center in Pasay City, highlighting the many features of the performance-focused clothing designed for active lifestyles.

UNIQLO’s Sport Utility Wear local celebrity partner Kianna Dy was joined by  celebrity and athlete Enchong Dee in putting the Sport Utility Wear to the test, decked out in the latest collection while playing one of the country’s fastest-rising sports—experiencing firsthand how the new lineup promotes peak performance on and off the court.

“At UNIQLO, we prioritize bringing better design, functionality, and comfort into our lives. And when it comes to Sport Utility Wear, we are redefining athleisure in terms of form and function. Sport Utility Wear is not just for athletes and fitness enthusiasts. It’s also the perfect everyday wear for those who are always-on-the-go—because we also need clothes that allow us to move around and stay fresh at any time of the day” said UNIQLO Philippines Chief Operating Officer Geraldine Sia during the pickleball session.

The UNIQLO Sport Utility Wear is designed with performance, comfort and versatility in mind. Perfect for both sporty activities and everyday movement, the new collection presents four core functionalities that were each highlighted during the experiential event.

“As a Pickleball rookie, I was so excited to put together an outfit for today’s activity. The best thing about UNIQLO Sport Utility Wear is its versatility; you can wear it during your workouts, or while doing errands, or even for a get together with friends.” said UNIQLO’s Sport Utility Wear local celebrity partner Kianna Dy when asked about her outfit for the day.

With summer in full swing, UNIQLO Sport Utility Wear offers instant and all-day UV Protection. The technology works by dealing with harmful UV-A and UV-B rays of the sun. For the UV Protection Collection, the special fabric was further enhanced to reflect and absorb UV-A and UV-B to keep the skin protected at all times. The event showcased how the special fabric blocks over 90% of UV rays with UPF 50+, the maximum rating in UV protection clothing. This makes UNIQLO’s UV Protection line a must-have for outdoor activities this season, and even on daily commutes especially when exposed to the sun while taking moto-taxis. To get maximum UV defense, consider the Women’s AIRism UV Protection Full-Zip Hoodie (P1490) and the DRY-EX UV Protection Full-Zip Hoodie (P1490).

Another functionality of the new UNIQLO Sport Utility Wear collection is its Ultra Stretch feature that unlocks amazing ease of movement. Easy to style and easy to move in, each item in the latest lineup presents multidirectional stretch vertically and horizontally. The experiential event put the Ultra Stretch feature to the test as guests reached out and chased down pickleballs for dramatic returns and emphatic smashes. Like them, go beyond your limits while staying comfortable wherever you are with the Ultra Stretch Active Shorts (P990 for men, P1290 for women), the Women’s Ultra Stretch Active Skort (available in select stores, P1290) and the Ultra Stretch Active Jogger Pants (P1490 for men and women).

Speaking of comfort, the UNIQLO Sport Utility Wear keeps you dry at all times with its high-performance material and DRY-EX technology. Each piece in the new lineup quickly absorbs and disperses sweat and moisture for a dry, fresh feel, which special guests in the pickleball event can attest to as they stayed comfortable amid the intense action. This is also important this season as the temperature continues to rise. Experience DRY-EX technology yourself with the DRY-EX T-shirt (P790) and DRY-EX Polo Shirt (P990).

The celebrated AIRism technology also keeps UNIQLO’s sportswear line smooth to the touch and incredibly stretchy and comfortable to wear. It’s a functionality that serves anyone whether in sports or everyday situations. Guests from the experiential event got to feel the smoothness of AIRism while staying active. Now, you can, too, by getting the Women’s AIRism Soft Cropped T-shirt (P790), the Women’s AIRism Bra Sleeveless Top (P990), and the Women’s AIRism Soft Ribbed Flare Leggings (available in select stores, P1490).
