FAQs
What is HeatGear technology?
HeatGear is Under Armour's original performance fabric, designed to keep you cool, dry, and light. It's built for warm weather and intense activity, wicking sweat away from your body to help regulate temperature.
Are these shorts suitable for all sports?
Yes, with their moisture-wicking, 4-way stretch, and compression features, these HeatGear Shorty shorts are versatile and suitable for a wide range of sports and activities, including running, soccer, basketball, dance, and gymnastics.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
Refer to the Under Armour official children's size chart. The sizing is typically based on age ranges (e.g., '7-8 Years') and often includes height and weight recommendations. For compression fit, it should feel snug but not restrictive.
Can these be worn as an outer layer?
Yes, while they offer excellent benefits as a base layer, their design, including the branding and plain aesthetic, makes them perfectly suitable to be worn as an outer layer for many activities.
What are the benefits of the compression fit?
The compression fit provides muscle support, which can help reduce muscle vibration and fatigue during intense exercise. It also offers a secure, 'second-skin' feel that moves with the body without bulk or distraction.
How do I care for the shorts to maintain their performance?
Machine wash cold with like colors. Do not bleach or use fabric softeners, as they can impair the fabric's wicking ability. Tumble dry low or air dry. Do not iron. Following these instructions will help prolong the life and performance of the shorts.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or uncomfortable.
The HeatGear Shorty features a compression fit, which should feel snug like a second skin. However, if it causes discomfort or restricts movement, ensure you have selected the correct size according to the Under Armour size chart for children's wear. A size up may be more comfortable while still offering some support.
Odor persists even after washing.
Although the shorts have odor control technology, intense activity might still lead to some odor. Ensure you're washing the shorts immediately after use. Avoid using too much detergent, as residue can trap odors. Consider using a sports-specific detergent designed for activewear, and always machine wash cold with like colors. Air drying can also help.
Fabric doesn't seem to wick sweat effectively anymore.
This can happen if fabric softener has been used, as it can coat the fibers and reduce wicking ability. Avoid fabric softeners. If this is suspected, try washing the shorts once or twice without detergent to remove any residue, then air dry. Ensure the wash temperature is cold.
Waistband rolls or digs in during activity.
An exposed elastic waistband should provide a secure fit. If it's rolling or digging, it might indicate an incorrect size. A size too small can cause it to dig in, while a size too large might cause it to roll down. Double-check the size guide and consider if a different size would offer a better fit for the waist.

The Under Armour HeatGear Shorty is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. As an inner or outer layer, it's compatible with virtually any athletic apparel. Its simple design pairs well with shorts, track pants, or under sports uniforms. For care, follow these instructions: Machine wash cold with like colors. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low or hang dry to preserve fabric elasticity and integrity. Do not iron. Do not use fabric softeners, as they can impede the moisture-wicking properties of the material. Regular washing according to these guidelines will help maintain the fabric's performance and the garment's longevity.
