FAQs
Is this tracksuit suitable for all seasons?
The brushed interior provides warmth, making it ideal for cooler weather and transitional seasons. While its moisture-wicking properties are beneficial year-round, it might be too warm for intense summer activities in hot climates.
Can my child wear this tracksuit for sports practice?
Yes, absolutely! It's designed with active kids in mind. The moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric, combined with the comfortable fit, make it highly suitable for various sports activities, training, and warm-ups.
What does 'loose fit' for the jacket mean?
A 'loose fit' indicates that the jacket is cut generously, providing ample room for movement and complete comfort. It is not tight or restrictive, allowing for easy layering over other clothes and enhancing freedom during physical activity.
Why is it important not to use fabric softeners?
Fabric softeners can leave a residue on the technical fibers of the tracksuit. This residue clogs the fabric's pores, which diminishes its ability to effectively wick away sweat and dry quickly. Avoiding softeners ensures the tracksuit maintains its performance features.
How durable is the 100% Polyester material?
Polyester is renowned for its durability, resistance to shrinking, stretching, and wrinkling, and its ability to maintain shape. With proper care, this tracksuit is built to withstand regular active use and frequent washing.
Are the pockets on the jacket secure for valuables?
The tracksuit features open hand pockets. While convenient for quick access to small items or keeping hands warm, they are not designed with closures for securing valuable items during vigorous activity, as items could potentially fall out.
Troubleshooting
Tracksuit feels damp or heavy after activity, not wicking sweat effectively.
Ensure you are washing the tracksuit in cold water and, most importantly, never using fabric softeners. Fabric softeners can build up on the fibers, hindering their wicking capabilities. Re-wash without softener and air dry.
Fabric seems to have lost its soft feel or appears stiff.
Avoid using high heat settings when drying, as this can stiffen polyester fibers. Always tumble dry on low or air dry. Also, ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding harsh chemicals.
Drawcord in the pants gets pulled out of the waistband.
To prevent the drawcord from being lost, tie a secure knot at each end. If it has already come out, attach a safety pin to one end of the drawcord and gently feed it back through the waistband channel.
Persistent odors in the fabric after washing.
Wash immediately after use. For tough odors, consider using a sports detergent designed to break down sweat and odor molecules. Ensure proper drying, as dampness can encourage odor-causing bacteria. Do not use fabric softeners, as they can trap odors.

Care Instructions
To maintain the performance and longevity of your Under Armour Rival Knit Tracksuit, adhere to these specific care instructions:
- Machine Wash Cold: Always wash the tracksuit in cold water with similar colors. Washing in cold water helps preserve the fabric's integrity and moisture-wicking properties.
- Do Not Use Fabric Softeners: Fabric softeners can create a coating on the technical fibers, which clogs the pores and reduces the material's ability to wick sweat and dry quickly. Avoid them completely to ensure optimal performance.
- Use Mild Detergent: Opt for a gentle, mild detergent to clean the tracksuit without damaging the fabric.
- Tumble Dry Low or Air Dry: For best results, tumble dry on a low heat setting. High heat can damage the polyester fibers and potentially affect the fit. Air drying is also an excellent option to extend the garment's life.
- Do Not Bleach: Bleach can severely damage the polyester fabric and alter the color.
- Do Not Iron: Ironing can melt or damage the synthetic fibers of the tracksuit.
- Do Not Dry Clean: Avoid dry cleaning, as the chemicals used can be detrimental to the specialized fabric.
