FAQs
What is HeatGear® fabric?
HeatGear® is Under Armour's original base layer fabric, engineered to keep athletes cool, dry, and light. It's super-light, breathable, and dries fast, making it ideal for workouts in warmer temperatures.
Are these shorts suitable for running?
Yes, the lightweight, breathable, and moisture-wicking fabric, along with the 4-way stretch, makes them suitable for running, especially in warm conditions. However, the 3" inseam is a personal preference for runners.
Can I wear these for yoga or Pilates?
While the 4-way stretch and chafe-free seams are beneficial, the compression fit and 3" inseam might be more suited for high-impact activities. However, some individuals may find them comfortable for lower-impact flexibility-focused workouts.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the Under Armour sizing chart for women's shorts. Measure your waist and hips and compare them to the chart. The compression fit should be snug but not restrict movement.
What does '4-way stretch' mean for these shorts?
It means the fabric can be stretched in four directions – lengthwise and widthwise. This provides superior mobility and allows the shorts to move with your body during any exercise.
What is the inseam length?
The inseam length for these shorty shorts is 3 inches.
Will these shorts help with odor control?
Yes, the shorts feature odor control technology designed to minimize odor, helping you feel fresher during and after your workouts.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size by referring to the brand's sizing chart. The compression fit is intentional for muscle support, but if it's excessively tight, a larger size may be needed.
Chafing during intense activity
While designed to minimize chafing, ensure the seams lie flat against the skin. If the issue persists, consider wearing a seamless base layer underneath or trying a different inseam length if available.
Fabric feels damp after washing
Follow the care instructions precisely, particularly regarding the use of fabric softeners, which can impede moisture-wicking properties. Ensure the shorts are completely dry before storing.
Waistband is rolling or slipping
Confirm the correct size is being worn. If the issue persists, try pulling the shorts up firmly to ensure the waistband is seated correctly. Avoid overstretching the waistband during the care process.
