FAQs

What is HeatGear® technology?

HeatGear® is Under Armour's original performance fabric designed to keep athletes cool, dry, and light. It's super-light, breathable, and quick-drying, making it ideal for warm conditions or intense workouts.

Are these shorts suitable for all sports?

Yes, with their sweat-wicking, 4-way stretch, and compression features, these shorts are versatile for a wide range of athletic activities, including running, gymnastics, soccer, and other training sessions.

What material are these shorts made from?

The shorts are composed of 86% polyester and 14% elastane, providing a balance of durability, stretch, and performance properties.

Can I use fabric softener when washing these shorts?

No, it is strongly advised not to use fabric softener. Fabric softener can clog the fibers of performance athletic wear, reducing its moisture-wicking and breathable properties.

How do I choose the correct size?

These shorts are sized for children aged 7-8 years. For the best fit, refer to the official Under Armour children's size chart, which typically provides measurements for waist and hip circumference.

Is the branding printed or stitched?

The product description mentions 'contrast Under Armour branding throughout' and an 'exposed elastic waistband with wordmark detail'. This indicates printed branding on the waistband and potentially other areas for a sporty appeal.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel less effective at wicking sweat over time.

Ensure you are not using fabric softener during washing, as it can coat the fibers and reduce moisture-wicking efficiency. Also, avoid excessive heat during drying.

Fabric appears damaged or stretched after washing.

Check if you've used hot water, high heat drying, or bleach with chlorine. Always wash cold, tumble dry low, and use only chlorine-free bleach if needed.

The compression fit feels too tight or uncomfortable.

Verify the size. While designed to be snug, it should not be painfully tight. Refer to the Under Armour size chart for children's apparel. If uncomfortable, a larger size might be needed.
