FAQs
What is HeatGear technology?
HeatGear is Under Armour's original performance fabric innovation, designed to keep you cool, dry, and light in warm conditions by wicking sweat away from your skin.
Can these shorts be worn for all types of sports?
Yes, the HeatGear Shorty is versatile and designed for a wide range of athletic activities, including running, team sports, gymnastics, and general training, where muscle support and moisture management are beneficial.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
It's best to consult the official Under Armour junior sizing chart, often available on product pages or their website, to ensure the optimal compression fit for your child's measurements.
What is the material composition of the shorts?
The shorts are made from a blend of 86% polyester and 14% elastane, providing both durability and essential stretch for comfort and movement.
How should I wash these shorts to maintain their performance?
Always refer to the care label, but generally, machine wash cold with like colors, do not bleach, do not use fabric softeners, and tumble dry low. Avoid ironing.
What is the main benefit of the compression fit?
The compression fit provides targeted support to muscles, which can help reduce muscle vibration during activity, enhancing performance and delaying the onset of fatigue.
Are these shorts designed for girls or boys?
The specific product variant detailed here is listed for 'Female' junior athletes. However, Under Armour also offers HeatGear Shorty variants for unisex and boys.
Troubleshooting
The shorts feel too tight or restrictive.
The HeatGear Shorty features a 'slim' compression fit designed to feel like a second skin. If it feels uncomfortably restrictive, double-check the size against Under Armour's sizing guide for junior athletes. Ensure it's not simply the intended compression feeling.
My child is still feeling damp or uncomfortable during activity.
Ensure the shorts are clean and dry before each use. While the fabric is moisture-wicking, extremely heavy perspiration may require a break or a change of shorts. Also, verify that the care instructions are followed, as improper washing can affect fabric performance.
The branding is starting to peel or crack.
This can sometimes occur if exposed to high heat (e.g., hot washing, high dryer settings, ironing). Always wash in cold water and tumble dry on low, or air dry, to protect the printed elements.

They are compatible with a wide range of athletic activities, from track and field to team sports. Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your HeatGear Shorty, always follow the care instructions provided on the garment's label.
