FAQs
What does HeatGear technology do?
HeatGear is Under Armour's original performance baselayer technology. It's designed to keep athletes cool, dry, and light by wicking sweat away from the body and drying fast, especially in warm conditions.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
This specific shorty is designed for children aged 1-2 years. For the best fit, refer to Under Armour's official size chart, usually found on the product page or packaging, and measure your child's waist and hip circumference.
Can these shorts be worn for swimming?
While the fabric is moisture-wicking and dries quickly, these shorts are primarily designed for land-based athletic activities and not specifically for prolonged water immersion or as swimwear. Chlorine and prolonged sun exposure could affect the fabric's longevity.
What is the material composition of the shorty?
The Under Armour HeatGear Shorty is made from a blend of 86% polyester and 14% elastane, providing a balance of durability, stretch, and moisture management.
Is the compression fit comfortable for a young child?
The compression fit is designed to be snug, offering a 'second-skin' feel that provides gentle muscle support. It should not be uncomfortably tight or restrictive. Ensure the correct size is chosen to maximize comfort and benefit.
How often should I wash the HeatGear Shorty?
It is recommended to wash the shorty after each use, especially after intense activity, to maintain hygiene and fabric performance. Prompt washing also helps prevent odor build-up.
Troubleshooting
The shorty feels too tight on my child.
The HeatGear Shorty features a compression fit, designed to be snug like a 'second skin'. However, if it causes discomfort or leaves deep marks, double-check that you have the correct size for your child's age (1-2 years) and body measurements. A slightly larger size might be needed.
The fabric doesn't seem to be wicking sweat effectively.
Ensure the garment is clean. Residue from detergents, fabric softeners, or body lotions can coat the fibers and hinder moisture-wicking performance. Try washing with a sports-specific detergent or a small amount of white vinegar in the rinse cycle to remove residue.
The shorty retains odors even after washing.
Wash the shorty promptly after use. For persistent odors, soak the garment in a solution of water and white vinegar (1 part vinegar to 4 parts water) for 30 minutes before washing. Specialized sports detergents are also effective at neutralizing odors in synthetic fabrics.
Fabric appears damaged or stretched out prematurely.
Review care instructions to ensure proper washing and drying methods are being followed, especially avoiding high heat during drying or ironing. Also, excessive stretching beyond normal activity could affect the fabric's integrity. Ensure the child isn't pulling on it excessively.

Care Instructions
To maintain the performance and longevity of your HeatGear Shorty, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can break down the performance fibers and impede moisture-wicking capabilities.
- Drying: Tumble dry low or hang dry. Air drying is often preferred for athletic wear to preserve fabric integrity.
- Ironing: Do not iron. High heat can damage the elastane fibers.
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
Composition: 86% polyester, 14% elastane.
