Choosing Under Armour joggers: how to find comfortable trousers for sport and everyday wear

Under Armour joggers can be a good choice for training, warm-ups, travel and relaxing at home. However, styles vary considerably in their fabric, fit and practical details. A low price or sporty product photo won’t tell you much about how comfortable they’ll be to wear.

So, look out for these three common pitfalls:

  1. Fabric that’s too warm or too lightweight
    A soft inner lining feels comfortable, but may get warmer than expected during intense exercise. Smooth polyester fabric is often practical for training, while French Terry is better suited to warm-ups, travel and everyday wear.

  2. A waistband that won’t stay in place
    “Elasticated waistband” on its own doesn’t tell you enough. Check whether there’s an external drawcord, and compare the stated waist or hip measurements with a pair of trousers you already find comfortable.

  3. Not enough pockets or an awkward fit
    Open hand pockets are handy, but your phone may shift around while you’re moving. An internal phone pocket or a back pocket can make the joggers more practical. Also check the leg shape: tapered joggers with ribbed cuffs fit differently from straight-leg jogging bottoms.

Which specifications matter?

1. Fabric and moisture management

For moisture-wicking joggers, the product information refers to fabric that, according to the description, draws moisture away from the skin and dries quickly. This doesn’t guarantee the same level of comfort for every sport or body type. Check the fibre content too:

  • 100% polyester has a smooth surface and is practical for training and warm-ups.
  • 80% cotton and 20% polyester often feels softer and more casual, but needs different washing care from fully synthetic sportswear.
  • A soft inner lining can add comfort for travel or less strenuous activities.

According to the product description, the Under Armour Men's Tricot Jogger Green Sportstyle Collection M is made from 100% polyester. The Under Armour Women's Rival Terry Joggers are made from 80% cotton and 20% polyester, according to the product information.

2. Fit and size

A regular fit is designed to offer a classic shape: neither tight nor overly roomy. Always check the specific size guide rather than relying on S, M or L alone.

For the green men’s joggers, size M corresponds to EU size 48-50, a waist measurement of 79-86 cm and an inside leg of 76 cm. The women’s styles use the following measurements, among others:

  • S: EU 36-38, waist 68-74 cm, hips 91-96 cm
  • M: EU 38-40, waist 74-79 cm, hips 96-101 cm
  • L: EU 40-42, waist 79-86 cm, hips 101-109 cm

If you’re unsure, lay a well-fitting pair of trousers flat to measure them, or compare your waist and hip measurements with the size guide. An adjustable waistband helps you fine-tune the fit, but it can’t make up for choosing the wrong base size.

3. Details for everyday wear

Practical sports trousers with an elasticated waistband need more than just stretch. Look for:

  • an external drawcord for an adjustable fit;
  • open hand pockets for keys or cards;
  • an internal phone pocket if you move around with your smartphone;
  • ribbed cuffs to keep the legs in place;
  • care instructions that suit your washing routine.

Washing instructions vary by style. Cold washing is recommended for some of the Under Armour joggers mentioned here. According to the product information, don’t use fabric softener, and avoid ironing and dry cleaning. Always check the label on the specific item.

Frequently asked questions about Under Armour joggers

Are Under Armour joggers suitable for running?

That depends on the style and how intense your run is. Polyester tricot joggers with moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties, according to the product description, may be suitable for warm-ups and some types of training. Also check the fit, freedom of movement and pockets. For intense running, a dedicated running style may be more practical than casual joggers.

How do I choose the right size?

Compare your waist or hip measurement with the size guide for the specific style. The women’s styles here are measured by waist and hips; for size M, the men’s style lists EU size 48-50 and a waist measurement of 79-86 cm, among other details. Don’t automatically choose the same size as you wear in another brand, as sizing can vary.

How do I keep my jogging bottoms looking good for longer?

Follow the care label and product instructions. The styles mentioned recommend cold washing, washing inside out and avoiding fabric softener. Also avoid ironing and dry cleaning if the instructions say so. Some product descriptions say you can tumble dry at a low temperature, but check the guidance for each style.
