Under Armour Women's HeatGear High Waisted Pocketed (Style C535)

Our review finds these Under Armour HeatGear leggings best suited for active women who want a barely-there feel with reliable stay-put performance. In this review the biggest reason to buy is the super-light HeatGear fabric that delivers excellent coverage while feeling minimal during long runs or studio sessions. The leggings combine fast-wicking material and a snug, ultra-tight compression fit that works well for tall users and anyone who needs leggings that do not ride up during movement.

Key Features

• Super-light HeatGear fabric: provides superior coverage without weighing the wearer down, making long workouts feel less restrictive.
• Rapid wicking: the material pulls moisture away from skin and dries quickly to help keep you comfortable in sweaty sessions.
• 4-way stretch construction: moves with the body in every direction so squats, lunges and yoga poses feel unrestricted.
• Ultra-tight compression fit: a second-skin fit that supports muscles and reduces excess fabric movement for a streamlined silhouette.
• Ergonomic flatlock seams: designed to minimize chafing and deliver a more comfortable fit during extended wear.
• Pocketed high waist: a practical waist design with pockets for small essentials so you can exercise hands-free.

Who It's For

The leggings are ideal for women who do a lot of dynamic training, studio classes, running, or daily wear and want a lightweight, compressive pair that stays in place. Customers who appreciate a second-skin fit and want fast-drying fabric will find these particularly useful, and several users note the length and fit suit taller frames well.

Those who prefer thicker, plush fabrics or a more relaxed fit should look elsewhere, as this style leans toward an ultra-tight compression and a thinner HeatGear material that some buyers describe as feeling less substantial.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Excellent fit and compression that many customers say flatters and supports during activity.
• Lightweight, fast-drying fabric keeps moisture under control during intense workouts.
• Stays put with good slip resistance, avoiding riding up in motion.
• Thoughtful design details like flatlock seams and pockets add everyday comfort and utility.

Cons

• Material feel divides opinion; some users find it less substantial or slightly cheap-feeling compared with thicker leggings.
• Ultra-tight, second-skin compression may not suit those who prefer a relaxed or opaque legging.

Specifications

Our Verdict
