What does your Lifetime Warranty cover?

At Matriarch Athletics, we stand behind every piece we make. Our Lifetime Warranty covers manufacturing defects, stitching failures, and material breakdowns under normal use. If your activewear falls apart on us — not on you — we'll make it right. Simply reach out to our team with your order details and a photo of the issue, and we'll arrange a replacement or store credit.

How do I choose the right size?

We recommend checking our Size Guide before ordering — you can find it on any product page. Our activewear is designed with a compressive, supportive fit in mind. If you're between sizes, we generally suggest sizing up for comfort during high-intensity workouts, or sizing down if you prefer a tighter, sculpted feel. Still unsure? Our team is happy to help you find your perfect fit.

How long does shipping take?

Standard shipping within Canada typically takes 5–8 business days. Expedited options are available at checkout if you need your order sooner. Once your order ships, you'll receive a tracking number via email so you can follow your package every step of the way. Please note that processing takes 1–2 business days before your order is dispatched.

Can I return or exchange my order?

Yes! We accept returns and exchanges within 30 days of delivery, provided items are unworn, unwashed, and in their original condition with tags attached. To start a return or exchange, contact our support team with your order number and reason for return. Sale items and final sale pieces are not eligible for returns. Exchanges are processed as quickly as possible so you're never without your favourite gear for long.

How should I care for my activewear?

To keep your Matriarch Athletics pieces performing at their best, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colours. Avoid fabric softeners — they break down the moisture-wicking fibres over time. Lay flat or hang to dry; tumble drying on high heat can cause shrinkage and damage the fabric's stretch. With the right care, your activewear will move with you for years to come.

Are your products squat proof?

Absolutely. All Matriarch Athletics leggings and shorts are rigorously tested for opacity — because the last thing you should be thinking about mid-squat is your gear. Our fabrics are selected specifically for their thickness, stretch, and coverage so you can train with full confidence. We recommend checking individual product descriptions for fabric weight details.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, we ship to select international destinations! Shipping times and rates vary by location and will be calculated at checkout. Please note that international orders may be subject to customs duties and import taxes, which are the responsibility of the recipient. We're working on expanding our global reach — because great activewear shouldn't have borders.
