FAQs

What material are these shorts made from?

The outer shorts are made from a soft, lightweight knit fabric, and the inner shorts are a knit compression material, both primarily Polyester.

Are these shorts suitable for high-intensity workouts?

Yes, the moisture-wicking fabric, breathable mesh panels, and built-in compression shorts make them well-suited for high-intensity workouts and sports.

How do I know what size to order?

It is recommended to consult the Under Armour size chart for women's apparel. Pay attention to waist and hip measurements. Some users find they run small, so consider this when choosing your size.

Can I wear these without the inner compression shorts?

The compression shorts are built-in and cannot be removed. They are designed to provide coverage and support.

Do the side pockets securely hold items?

The side pockets are standard hand pockets. While convenient for light items like keys or cards, they may not be secure enough for running or vigorous activity where items could fall out.

How do I wash and care for these shorts?

Machine wash cold with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach only if needed, tumble dry low. Do not iron or use fabric softeners.

What is the length of the inseam?

The product description does not specify the inseam length. However, they are referred to as '3" Shorts' in some related product titles, suggesting a short inseam.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the size chart and consider if the integrated compression shorts are suitable for your activity level. If between sizes, ordering one size up might provide more comfort.

Fabric is not wicking sweat effectively.

Check that you are not using fabric softeners during washing, as this can clog the fibers. Wash with a mild detergent and tumble dry on low heat to maintain breathability.

Seams or stitching are coming undone.

Inspect the shorts for any damage. If the issue is due to a manufacturing defect, contact the retailer or Under Armour customer service for potential warranty claims. Avoid excessive stretching or rough handling.
