FAQs
What is HeatGear® fabric?
HeatGear® is Under Armour's original performance baselayer fabric. It is ultra-soft, smooth, and designed to keep you cool and dry by wicking sweat away from the body.
Are these shorts suitable for all weather conditions?
These shorts are best suited for warm weather conditions. They provide excellent breathability and moisture-wicking properties. For colder weather, consider layering them with warmer clothing.
How do I determine the correct size?
Consult the size chart provided by Under Armour. Measure your child's waist and refer to the chart to find the appropriate size. Keep in mind the shorts are shaped rather than super tight.
Can I use fabric softener when washing these shorts?
No, it's recommended to avoid using fabric softener, as it can reduce the effectiveness of the moisture-wicking properties.
What is the benefit of the flatlock seams?
Flatlock seams are designed to reduce chafing and increase comfort, especially during high-activity use.
Where are the mesh panels located?
The strategic placement of mesh panels varies by design but generally provides ventilation in key areas for enhanced breathability.
What kind of activities are these shorts best for?
These shorts are ideal for various activities, including sports (basketball, soccer, running) and everyday wear where comfort and moisture-wicking are important.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight.
Ensure the correct size is selected. The shorts are designed for a next-to-skin fit, but shaped rather than super tight. Refer to the size chart for accurate measurements.
Material loses its shape after washing.
Follow the care instructions, specifically using low heat when tumble drying and avoiding fabric softeners, which can damage the fabric's elasticity.
Shorts are not wicking sweat effectively.
Ensure the shorts are clean and not overloaded with fabric softener, which can reduce their wicking ability. Check that the shorts are the correct size and fit snugly but not overly tight.
