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

Women’s joggers need to do more than feel comfortable. You want to be able to warm up, go for a walk, relax and perhaps work out in them without the waistband slipping down or the fabric quickly losing its shape. When looking for women’s Under Armour joggers, you’ll come across different materials, fits and marketing claims. However, not every pair of women’s sports trousers is suitable for every activity.

Look out for these three common pitfalls:

  • Soft fabric that’s too warm or heavy: feeling comfortable when you try them on doesn’t always mean they’ll be comfortable to wear while moving.
  • A waistband without proper adjustment: an elasticated waist can feel comfortable, but without a drawstring it’s harder to adjust the fit.
  • Unclear sizing: “regular fit” doesn’t mean the same thing for every brand. Check the waist and hip measurements in centimetres.

What should you look for in women’s joggers?

1. Material: French Terry or technical fabric

The Under Armour Rival Terry joggers are made from 80% cotton and 20% polyester. These French Terry joggers have a smooth outer surface and a soft inside, according to the product description. This makes this type of fabric suitable for warming up, travelling and relaxing.

Cotton often feels comfortable, but it can hold on to moisture for longer. Under Armour’s product description says that the fabric wicks away moisture and dries quickly. This is a claim made in the brand’s product information; your experience may vary depending on your activity level, the temperature and your personal preference.

A style made mainly from polyester or nylon may be more practical for more intensive training. The Skechers Slip-Ins: GO Walk Uptown Pant is described as having a soft, flexible fabric and a composition that lists nylon as its main material. Always check the final care label and the latest product specifications.

2. Fit and size

Women’s regular-fit trousers are generally neither tight nor oversized. They’re a good choice if you want freedom of movement without a wide leg. The Under Armour Rival Terry styles are described as regular fit and “true to size”.

Where possible, use your body measurements rather than relying on the letter size alone:

  • S: waist 68–74 cm, hips 91–96 cm
  • M: waist 74–79 cm, hips 96–101 cm
  • L: waist 79–86 cm, hips 101–109 cm
  • XL: waist 86–94 cm, hips 109–117 cm
  • XXL: waist 94–102 cm, hips 117–124 cm

This table applies to the Under Armour Rival Terry joggers mentioned above. Measure your waist at its narrowest point and your hips at their widest. If you’re between sizes, consider how you plan to wear them: a little extra room can feel comfortable for relaxing, while you may prefer a more secure fit for walking or warming up.

3. Waistband, pockets and legs

A well-positioned drawstring makes drawstring joggers more practical when you’re on the move. On the Under Armour styles, the drawstring is on the outside of the waistband. The elasticated ankle cuffs keep the legs in place and give the joggers a sporty finish.

Check the pockets, too. Open hand pockets are handy for small items, but they’re not as secure as zipped pockets. According to the product information, the Skechers trousers have both zipped pockets and side pockets. This can be useful if you want to take your keys or a card with you on a walk.

Care instructions matter, too. For the Under Armour Rival Terry joggers, these include washing in cold water with similar colours, tumble drying on a low setting and avoiding fabric softener. Always follow the care label for the specific item.

Frequently asked questions about women’s Under Armour joggers

Are Under Armour Rival Terry joggers suitable for working out?

According to the product description, they’re designed for comfort, warming up and wearing before or after exercise. The cotton-polyester blend and French Terry construction make them particularly suitable for light training, walking and relaxed movement. For intense cardio, thinner, more technical moisture-wicking sports trousers may be more practical.

How do women’s Under Armour joggers fit?

The Rival Terry styles mentioned have a regular fit for women’s trousers and are described as true to size. Compare your waist and hip measurements with the table. Also consider how much room you want around your thighs and calves; regular fit isn’t the same as loose fit.

How do you care for women’s joggers so they last longer?

Wash the trousers according to the care label, preferably inside out and with similar colours. For the Under Armour Rival Terry joggers, don’t use bleach, fabric softener or an iron. Avoid drying them at unnecessarily high temperatures, as heat can put strain on the fit and fibres. Check the specific washing instructions for each style before cleaning the garment.
