FAQs
What is the main benefit of the compression fit?
The compression fit provides muscle support, can potentially aid in recovery, and offers a snug, second-skin feel that reduces distractions and chafing during physical activity.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shorts should feel snug like a second skin without cutting off circulation. If they are overly constricting or feel loose, you may need to adjust your size. Consult the brand's sizing guide for specific measurements.
Can I wear these without shorts over them?
Yes, many athletes wear these compression shorts on their own, especially for training activities where their primary function is moisture-wicking and muscle support. However, consider personal comfort and the specific environment or activity.
What does 'HeatGear' mean?
HeatGear is Under Armour's technology designed for warm weather or high-activity levels. It's engineered to be lightweight, breathable, and highly effective at wicking sweat away from the body to keep the wearer cool and dry.
How often should I wash these shorts?
It is recommended to wash them after each significant use, especially after sweaty workouts, to maintain hygiene and preserve the fabric's anti-odor properties and performance.
What material are the shorts made of?
The main body of the shorts is made from 84% polyester and 16% elastane. The mesh panels are composed of 92% polyester and 8% elastane.
What is the inseam length?
The inseam length for these compression shorts is 6 inches.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the size chart and consider if a looser fit is preferred, although this will reduce compression benefits. The shorts are designed for a very snug, second-skin fit.
Skin irritation or chafing
Make sure the seams are aligned with your body's natural lines and that the fit is not too loose, which can cause friction. Ensure the garment is properly washed according to care instructions, as residual detergent can sometimes cause irritation.
Reduced moisture-wicking performance
Avoid using fabric softeners or dryer sheets, as these can clog the fabric's fibers and reduce their ability to wick sweat. Wash the shorts with like colors in cold water and tumble dry on low.
Pocket is too small for items
The drop-in pocket is designed for very small items like a key or a single energy gel. For larger items, consider alternative storage solutions.
