Product Information

Full details

The Under Armour Tech™ Play Up 2-in-1 Shorts are designed for adult females seeking comfortable and supportive activewear for workouts and general athletic activities. The key benefit is the combination of a lightweight outer short with a built-in compression short for coverage and support, all made from sweat-wicking material. A potential caveat is the specific inseam lengths (3" outer, 5.5" inner) which may not suit everyone's preference. These shorts feature soft, breathable fabric, moisture-wicking technology, integrated compression shorts, open hand pockets, and a shaped hem for enhanced range of motion, with a significant portion made from recycled polyester.

FAQs

What is the inseam length for the outer and inner shorts?

The outer shorts have an inseam of 3 inches, and the built-in inner compression shorts have an inseam of 5.5 inches.

Are these shorts suitable for swimming?

These shorts are designed for athletic activities and not specifically for swimming. While the fabric is quick-drying, they do not offer the features of swimwear.

What is the main material of the shorts?

The main body fabric of the outer shorts is 100% Polyester, with at least 90% of this being recycled polyester, excluding trims and embellishments.

How do I know if I should choose a different size?

Refer to the Under Armour sizing chart for accurate measurements. The 'lightweight' fit suggests they are designed for freedom of movement, so if you prefer a looser fit overall, consider sizing up.

Can I store my phone in the pockets?

The shorts have open hand pockets. While they can hold a phone, they are not secured, so it is recommended to use them for lighter items or during less intense activities to prevent them from falling out.

How should I wash these shorts to maintain their performance?

Machine wash cold with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach if needed, and tumble dry low. Avoid iron and fabric softeners.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the Under Armour size chart. If the fit is still too tight, consider if a different model with a looser fit might be more suitable.

Sweat-wicking performance seems reduced

Check care label instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fabric's pores and reduce its ability to wick moisture. Wash according to recommended guidelines.

Seams feel uncomfortable

The built-in compression shorts have seams designed for support. If irritation occurs, ensure the shorts are the correct size. For some, wearing a lubricant like Body Glide can help prevent chafing during intense activity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent moisture-wicking properties to keep you dry.
  • Integrated compression shorts offer great support and coverage.
  • Lightweight and breathable design enhances comfort during workouts.
  • Made with a substantial amount of recycled polyester.
  • Flattering fit with a shaped hem for improved mobility.

Cons

  • Inner compression shorts may be longer than some prefer (5.5" inseam).
  • Outer shorts have a shorter inseam (3") which might be a style consideration.
  • Only features open hand pockets, no zippered options for security.
  • Fit is described as 'lightweight', which might imply less structure for some activities.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These shorts require no setup and are ready to wear straight out of the package. They are designed for general athletic use and are compatible with most athletic footwear and tops.

Care Instructions:

  • Machine wash cold with like colors.
  • Use only non-chlorine bleach when needed.
  • Tumble dry low.
  • Do not iron.
  • Do not use fabric softeners or conditioners, as they can interfere with the moisture-wicking properties of the fabric.
  • Wash the garment inside out to help preserve the fabric and prints.
