FAQs

What is the inseam length of these shorts?

The Under Armour Play Up 3" Shorts have an inseam length of 3 inches.

Are these shorts suitable for swimming?

While the material is quick-drying, these shorts are not specifically designed as swimwear and may not offer the appropriate fit or material for extended water activities.

How do I know if I need a compression fit or regular fit?

These shorts feature built-in compression shorts for support. If you prefer a looser feel throughout, you might consider other styles. However, the outer layer is designed for a loose fit.

Can I wear leggings underneath these shorts?

Due to the built-in compression shorts, wearing additional leggings underneath is generally not recommended as it may cause discomfort or restrict movement. However, thin base layers for warmth might be feasible depending on personal preference.

What does 'anti-pill/anti-pick' mean?

This refers to a finish that prevents the fabric from developing small balls (pills) or snagging on rough surfaces, contributing to the garment's durability and appearance over time.

Are these shorts made from sustainable materials?

Yes, the main fabric contains at least 90% recycled polyester, excluding finishes and embellishments, contributing to sustainability efforts.

What is the waistband like?

The shorts feature a soft, exposed elastic waistband with wordmark detail, designed for a comfortable and secure fit.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too loose

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The loose fit is intentional, but if it feels excessively large, consider if a smaller size would be more appropriate. The waistband can be adjusted slightly with movement, but is primarily designed for comfort.

Inner compression shorts ride up

This can sometimes occur with significant movement. Ensure the outer shorts are not excessively large and that the compression shorts are a snug fit. A slight adjustment before intense activity may be necessary.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Avoid using fabric softeners, as this can affect the moisture-wicking properties and the feel of the fabric. Tumble dry on low and consider a brief air-dry to restore softness.

Seams feel uncomfortable

While designed for comfort, individual sensitivity can vary. Ensure the garment is oriented correctly and that the inner compression shorts are not bunching. Washing the shorts may help soften the seams.
