Expert Review Sources

  • RunRepeat : 73.6 / 100 — « The Under Armour HOVR Phantom 3 does a great job in the multidisciplinary category, adept at both running and gym sessions, even pairing well with your go-to jeans. In our lab tests, we appreciated its versatility but noted a few drawbacks. We found the energy return insufficient for our liking, and at almost 12 oz, it felt overly heavy for our runs. Additionally, during summer workouts, we were concerned about its breathability—it simply felt too warm even indoors. Despite these issues, it could still be a solid choice for cooler climates and low-mileage runners. »
  • OutdoorGearLab : 73.0 / 100 — « Built by Under Armour around the Under Armour proprietary foam midsole, the HOVR Phantom 3 holds its own against top daily trainer rivals thanks to its resilient Under Armour proprietary foam platform. Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for daily trainer training. »
  • Solereview : 72.7 / 100 — « Across our daily trainer testing on road, the Under Armour HOVR Phantom 3 shows strong torsional stability and consistent impact attenuation in lab testing (338 g, a 12.7 mm drop). Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for daily trainer training. »
