FAQs
What is HeatGear technology?
HeatGear is Under Armour's original performance baselayer fabric designed to keep you cool, dry, and light. It wicks sweat away from your skin and stretches to allow for optimal movement during warm conditions or intense activities.
Are these shorts suitable for all sports?
Yes, due to their moisture-wicking, compression, and 4-way stretch properties, the HeatGear Shorty is versatile and suitable for a wide range of athletic activities, including running, team sports, gymnastics, and general training.
How should I choose the right size for my child?
These shorts feature a compression fit, which means they are designed to be snug. We recommend consulting the Under Armour size chart, usually available on the product page or brand's website, and measuring your child to ensure the best fit.
Can these shorts be worn as outerwear?
While they can be worn alone, the HeatGear Shorty is primarily designed as a base layer to be worn under other athletic apparel for enhanced performance, support, and comfort due to its skin-tight fit.
How do I prevent odors from developing in the fabric?
To prevent odors, always wash the shorts promptly after use. Use a good quality sports detergent that is effective at breaking down sweat and bacteria. Avoid leaving damp shorts in a gym bag.
Is the waistband comfortable?
Yes, the shorts feature a soft, stretchy mid-rise exposed elastic waistband with a wordmark detail, designed to provide a comfortable and secure fit without digging into the skin or causing discomfort during movement.
Troubleshooting
The shorts feel too tight or restrictive.
The HeatGear Shorty features a compression fit, which is designed to feel snug like a 'second skin'. If it feels excessively uncomfortable or impedes movement, double-check the size against Under Armour's sizing chart. For future purchases, consider a different size if current fit is consistently restrictive.
The fabric is not wicking sweat effectively.
Ensure you are washing the shorts according to the care instructions. Fabric softeners can leave a residue that clogs the fibers and reduces wicking capability. If used, try washing again without softener, or use a sports detergent designed to remove such residues.
Chafing or irritation occurs during wear.
While the shorts have flatlock seams to prevent chafing, ensure the shorts are clean and dry before wear. Verify they are worn correctly without any twists or bunching of the fabric. If irritation persists, consider checking for proper sizing or applying an anti-chafing balm to sensitive areas.
