FAQs
Are these shorts intended to be worn as a standalone or a base layer?
These shorts feature a slim, athletic fit designed to serve as a high-performance base layer under loose-fitting athletic shorts or as a standalone piece for intense training.
Does the fabric provide compression?
Yes, the HeatGear material is designed to be slim-fitting and compressive to support muscles during movement.
How large is the Strength Pocket?
The pocket is designed to securely hold small essentials like a gym key, credit card, or small mobile device.
Can I use these for swimming?
While the fabric is quick-drying, these shorts are optimized for dry-land athletic performance and are not specifically treated for chlorine or saltwater resistance.
What is the primary benefit of the HeatGear fabric?
The primary benefit is moisture management, keeping the body cool and dry by wicking sweat away from the skin rapidly.
How do I choose the right size?
These shorts are a slim fit. If you prefer a less restrictive feel, you may consider if you are between sizes, but generally, choose your standard athletic apparel size.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after long workouts
Ensure you are not using fabric softener during the wash cycle, as it blocks the moisture-wicking capabilities.
Elastic waistband feeling loose
Check your size recommendation; as these are slim-fit, ensure you are wearing the correct size to maintain the intended compression fit.
Visible wear near seams
Always wash inside out and use a delicate cycle to prevent the garment from snagging against harder items in the wash.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Under Armour HeatGear shorts, follow these care instructions:
- Wash Instructions: Machine wash cold with like colors to prevent dye transfer.
- Detergents: Avoid the use of fabric softeners, as they can coat the moisture-wicking fibers and reduce the effectiveness of the HeatGear technology.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang-dry to preserve the elastic integrity of the waistband and the shape of the garment.
- Ironing: Do not iron, as high heat can damage the technical fabric blend.
