Very comfy shorts, look good with just a plain t-shirt. Soft material, very light perfect for the heatwave. I bought a few more in different colors after trying them out !!

Great shorts but absorb odors

Originally posted on Under Armour

Yes, I recommend this

These short are lightweight, well ventilated, and dry fast. However, they absorb foul odors and stink unbelievably bad unbelievably quickly. They are great if you are going to change IMMEDIATELY after a workout. Wearing them in public for a full summer day? Not so much.

Hi, Stepanio! Yikes! That's definitely not the vibe we are going for with our shorts! We're glad they offer the comfort you're looking for, but are sorry they didn't perform on the odor front. We do offer shorts that feature odor-control technology that may work better, like our UA Challenger shorts. I'll send an email so we can get you the gear you need!

Phone pocket

Originally posted on Under Armour

No, I don't recommend this

I like the shorts but the the phone pocket is not nearly as good as the older style speedpocket. The speedpocket kept the phone secure in the front while the phone tends to flop against the leg in the new style in the right pocket.

Hi, there! We're glad you're feeling the shorts overall, but bummed the phone pocket isn't what you were expecting. We understand how a locked-in, bounce-free experience can create shorts magic, and it sounds like this wasn't it. We'd love another shot at getting this right, so please look for an email from me.

Excellent shorts for running

Originally posted on Under Armour

Yes, I recommend this

The UA Launch short is perfect for running and I would recommend to anyone looking for a quality running short for a reasonable price. I am an avid runner and have tried a variety of shorts, and the UA Launch is one of the best I have run in. No frills, just a comfortable short that works.

At first the shorts felt very snug but that did not last. They are extremely comfortable! Love these! Added win that the hot trainer complimented me on the shorts too.

These fit very true to size. Lightweight and breathable for just working out or doing yard work around the house. And I like the length.

Great shorts. The quality is good. I hope they stay like this after wearing them. The fit is good, loose enough to go running. The color is awesome, light gray. I’m 5’10”, 155 lbs and got M.
