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

In this review the Under Armour Women's HeatGear High Waisted Pocketed No-Slip Leggings are assessed for everyday training and long runs. The bottom line: these leggings are best for someone seeking a super-light, second-skin compression legging that stays put during movement. The review highlights the HeatGear fabric that delivers coverage without weight, fast-wicking performance, and the high waist with pockets that make them practical for workouts and errands. Overall they stand out for fit and slip resistance while offering the fast-drying feel many athletes prefer.

Key Features

• Super-light HeatGear fabric: gives full coverage without heavy bulk so they feel barely there during high-intensity sessions.
• Fast-wicking material: pulls sweat away from skin and dries quickly to keep workouts comfortable and reduce chill after exercise.
• 4-way stretch construction: allows freer movement in every direction so squats, lunges and long runs do not feel restricted.
• Ultra-tight compression fit: offers a second-skin feel that supports muscles and minimizes bounce during activity.
• Ergonomic flatlock seams: are designed to reduce chafing and stay comfortable during long wear.
• Pocketed and high waisted: practical storage and a secure waistband that helps the legging remain in place while moving.

Who It's For

These leggings suit active women who want a lightweight, compressive layer for running, gym sessions, and athleisure wear. The high waist and pockets make them useful for those who prefer hands-free storage for a phone or keys, and the no-slip fit is helpful for taller users who need leggings that do not ride up.

Shoppers who want a plush, heavy fabric or a very opaque legging might look elsewhere, as the HeatGear material prioritizes lightness and quick drying over thicker warmth. Also, those who prefer a looser fit should consider less compressive options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these leggings true to size?
