Choosing women’s Under Armour joggers: how to find comfortable, sporty trousers

Women’s Under Armour joggers can be suitable for fitness, warm-ups, travelling and relaxing at home. However, not every pair of joggers is equally practical. For example, soft fabric can quickly become too warm during intense training, while a loose waistband may need constant adjustment when you are out and about.

So pay attention to the features that make a difference in everyday use. The Under Armour Rival Terry joggers from the Sportstyle Collection combine a regular fit with French Terry fabric, a drawcord and open pockets. They are available in black and grey, with a range of size options.

Common pitfalls when choosing women’s joggers

1. Looking only at the colour and brand

Black women’s joggers or grey women’s joggers are easy to style, but colour says little about comfort or fit. Also check the fabric composition, waistband construction and ankle cuffs. Trousers that look good but slide down when you move are less useful for training or travelling.

2. Confusing “soft” with suitable for every activity

A soft inner layer can feel comfortable when relaxing or warming up. For intense fitness sessions, drying time is also important. According to Under Armour’s product description, the fabric is designed to wick away moisture and dry quickly. This is a product claim made by the brand; your experience may vary depending on the individual, activity and wash cycle.

3. Choosing a size without checking your body measurements

A regular fit is neither tight nor loose. Even so, the fit can vary from one body shape to another. So check your waist and hip measurements in centimetres rather than relying only on S, M, L or XL. If you are between sizes, hip measurement is particularly important, as women’s training trousers need to provide enough room when sitting and moving.

Which specifications matter?

French Terry for different occasions

The Rival Terry joggers are made from 80% cotton and 20% polyester. According to the product description, the French Terry fabric has a smooth outer surface and a soft inner side. This makes it suitable for sporty women’s trousers for warm-ups, relaxing and everyday wear.

French Terry is not the same as thin, smooth running fabric. If you mainly do long, intense cardio sessions, check whether the fabric’s weight and warmth suit your personal training. For travelling, light training and casual wear, the combination of cotton and polyester offers a practical middle ground.

Waistband with drawcord

An integrated elasticated waistband with an external drawcord makes the fit adjustable. This is useful when walking, exercising or travelling, when you do not want the trousers to sit only on your natural waist. When putting them on, check that the drawcord lies flat under a top or jacket and does not cause discomfort while sitting.

Elasticated cuffs and pockets

Elasticated ankle cuffs keep the legs in place and give the trousers a classic jogger look. Open hand pockets are suitable for small items you want to keep close at hand for a short time. They are not the same as secure, zipped pockets: for keys, cards or a phone during intense movement, a zipped pocket may be more practical.

Size advice for the Under Armour Rival Terry joggers

The product information states that the joggers have a regular fit and recommends choosing your usual size. The stated body measurements are:

  • 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
  • XL / EU 42-44: waist 86-94 cm, hips 109-117 cm
  • XXL / EU 44-46: waist 94-102 cm, hips 117-124 cm

Measure your waist and hips with a flexible tape measure, without pulling it tight. For comfortable women’s training trousers, it is sensible to use the largest relevant measurement as your starting point. Also always check the available size on the product page, as stock may vary by colour.

Care for longer-lasting wear

The product information recommends washing the garment inside out, washing it cold with similar colours, and not using bleach or fabric softener. It can be tumble-dried at a low temperature; ironing, dry cleaning and fabric softener are not recommended.

Always follow the care label in the trousers you receive. Cotton in particular can change shape or colour if washed incorrectly. So do not wash women’s sports trousers at a higher temperature than indicated, and fasten zips or hook-and-loop fastenings on other garments to reduce friction.
