FAQs
What is HeatGear fabric?
HeatGear is Under Armour's original base layer designed to keep athletes cool, dry, and light. It's engineered to work in hot conditions, providing superior coverage without weighing you down.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
The shorts should fit like a second skin, ultra-tight but not constricting to the point of pain or reduced circulation. They should stay in place during intense movement without riding up or bunching.
Can I wear these for everyday activities, not just sports?
While comfortable, the ultra-tight compression fit is primarily designed for athletic performance. For everyday wear, you might find them too restrictive. They are best suited for workouts or sports.
How does the "no fly" design affect comfort?
The "no fly" design is common in compression wear to maintain a smooth, streamlined fit and prevent bunching. The updated gusset design aims to provide adequate support and comfort without a fly.
Will these shorts help reduce muscle soreness?
Compression wear is often credited with helping to improve blood circulation and reduce muscle vibration during exercise, which may contribute to reduced post-exercise soreness and faster recovery. However, individual results can vary.
What is the inseam length?
These specific shorts have a 6-inch inseam, providing a good balance of coverage and freedom of movement for most athletic activities.
How should I care for these shorts to maintain their compression?
Always wash in cold water with like colors and avoid bleach or fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not iron or dry clean. Proper care is essential to preserve the fabric's elasticity and compression properties.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Compression fit is intentionally snug; consider trying a size up if the current fit is uncomfortably restrictive for your intended activity.
Excessive sweating or discomfort
Verify that the shorts are clean, as buildup can impede moisture-wicking. Ensure you are washing with a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners. For extreme conditions, consider a lighter base layer if needed.
Seam irritation or chafing
Ensure the ergonomic seams are aligned correctly against your body. If irritation persists, the compression may be too extreme for your current activity level or body type, or consider using anti-chafing balm.
Pocket feels insecure
The slip pocket is designed for lightweight items like keys or cards. Avoid overloading it. For running, consider a running belt or armband for larger items like phones.
