FAQs
What is HeatGear® fabric?
HeatGear® is Under Armour's original performance base layer. It's designed to keep athletes cool, dry, and light. The fabric is super-lightweight and delivers superior coverage without weighing you down.

How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the Under Armour sizing chart for accurate measurements. Ensure you measure your waist and hips correctly. The compression fit should be snug but not uncomfortable.
Can I wear these without underwear?

What are the care instructions for the Strength Pocket™?
The pocket itself requires no special care. However, always ensure it is empty before washing the shorts to prevent damage to any items stored within.

Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or restrictive
Verify you have selected the correct size. Consider if a non-compression fit might be more suitable for your activity needs.
Sweat is not wicking effectively
Ensure no fabric softeners were used in washing, as they can clog the fabric's pores. Wash the shorts with a small amount of detergent in cold water and rinse thoroughly.
Seams are causing irritation
Confirm the shorts are worn with the seams aligned as intended by the ergonomic design. For persistent irritation, consider pairing with seamless underwear.
Pocket is not holding items securely
The Strength Pocket™ is designed for smaller, lighter items. Ensure items are placed correctly within the pocket and do not exceed its capacity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
