HeatGear® is Under Armour's original performance baselayer fabric, designed to be ultra-lightweight, wick sweat effectively, and provide a comfortable, second-skin fit that keeps athletes cool.
Are these shorts suitable for casual wear?
While primarily designed for athletic performance, the comfortable fit and quick-drying material make them suitable for casual wear, especially in warm weather or for lounging.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the Under Armour sizing guide available on the product page or official website. Measure your waist and inseam accurately for the best fit.
Can I wear these under jeans?
Yes, the slim, compression fit and smooth fabric make them suitable for wearing as a baselayer under other clothing, including jeans, although they are most commonly worn for sports.
What is the inseam length?
The inseam length for these compression shorts is 6 inches (approximately 16 cm).
How often should I wash these shorts?

What is the 'Strength Pocket™' for?

Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the size chart. If you prefer a looser fit, consider ordering one size up or trying a different product line.
Fabric pilling or damage after washing
Follow the care instructions precisely. Avoid washing with abrasive materials like denim or rough towels. Use a gentle cycle and cold water. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
Sweat is not wicking effectively
Ensure the garment is not oversaturated with sweat. Wash the shorts regularly to remove residue build-up that can impede wicking. Check that the fabric is not overly worn.
Pocket feels insecure
The Strength Pocket™ is designed for small, flat items. For larger or bulkier items, consider alternative storage solutions or wearers with significantly different body types may find the pocket fit varies.
