FAQs
What is HeatGear technology?
HeatGear technology is Under Armour's signature fabric designed to keep athletes cool, dry, and light during warm conditions or intense activities. It effectively wicks sweat away from the skin to help regulate body temperature.
How should I wash my HeatGear Shorty shorts?
Always refer to the care label on the garment. Generally, machine wash cold with like colors. Avoid using fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry low or hang dry to maintain the fabric's integrity and performance features.
Are these shorts suitable for all types of sports?
Yes, the Under Armour HeatGear Shorty is designed for a wide range of intense athletic activities, including running, soccer, basketball, gymnastics, and general training, thanks to its moisture-wicking, compression, and 4-way stretch properties.
What is the benefit of the compression fit?
The compression fit provides a snug, second-skin feel that supports muscles, reduces muscle vibration during activity, and can help to lessen fatigue, giving young athletes an edge in performance and recovery.
Do these shorts have any pockets?
No, the Under Armour HeatGear Shorty shorts do not feature any pockets.
What material are these shorts made from?
These shorts are made from a blend of 86% polyester and 14% elastane, providing a combination of durability, flexibility, and quick-drying properties.
Can these shorts be worn as a base layer?
Yes, due to their compression fit and moisture-wicking capabilities, they are ideal for wearing as a comfortable and supportive base layer under uniforms or other athletic wear, as well as on their own.
Troubleshooting
The shorts feel too tight or uncomfortable.
The HeatGear Shorty features a compression fit, which is designed to be snug. However, if it causes discomfort or restricts movement, double-check the size against Under Armour's sizing chart. Ensure you've selected the correct size for the intended age group (7-8 years). If discomfort persists, a larger size might be necessary, though this may reduce the compression benefits.
The fabric doesn't seem to be wicking sweat effectively, or it dries slowly.
Ensure you are washing the shorts according to the care label instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can leave a residue that clogs the fibers and impairs the moisture-wicking ability. Wash promptly after use to prevent sweat from setting in, and ensure they are fully dry before storage.
The shorts retain odors even after washing.
Although the shorts have odor control technology, persistent odors can occur if not washed promptly after intense activity. Try pre-soaking the shorts in a mixture of water and a small amount of white vinegar before washing. Ensure you are not overloading the washing machine and that the detergent is effective at removing athletic odors. Always follow the care label.
