Like everything about the shorts, except for the lack of a back pocket. Somehow, this makes a difference to me. But price, quality, fit all are excellent.

I own a dozen pairs of UA Launch short that I’ve been wearing nearly every day for the past 8 years or so (gym + outdoor runs). I’ve only recently had to start replacing a few of them because they started developing holes, or the waistband no longer stays up. Most of them are still going strong, though. I really love them: comfortable enough to wear around the house, and durable enough for daily training and weekly washing.

These shorts look great but don't fit like a large should. They don't move like most fabric's from under armour.

Hello, there! So glad to hear we crushed the look of the shorts, but are sorry the size and fabric were a miss. We want you to always pass the fit check when in our gear, and are sure we can help you find something that works better, like perhaps our UA Motion Vented shorts, which feature a looser cut and are made from a different material. Please look for a follow-up email from me with more details.

Fit is perfect. Length right where it needs to be. I have them in multiple colors and will continue to buy.

My husband likes the lightweight material and the mesh insert. Grey colour might show sweat but the dark ones hide it.

The Morph Green color is see-through
Originally posted on Under Armour

I've purchased a few Launch shorts over the years and this is the first time I've had one that was so thin it's see-through. You can see the liner but luckily, not past that. At first, I thought it was because I was wearing a dark pair of compression shorts underneath that made the liner more obvious (you could also make out the dark shorts in the thigh area). However, I could still see the liner after changing to a pair of white compression shorts. While I have noticed the material getting slightly thinner with each iteration and quality problems with specific colors (UA logo peeling off), this is the first time I've had this problem. I wouldn't recommend this color and will probably stay away from the lighter colors going forward.

Hey, Mugen! We appreciate you sticking with us throughout the years and for your honest feedback. We hear you--see-through shorts is not the look! Thanks for trying to making them work and for calling this out. I'll reach out shortly so we can get you into gear that makes you feel, and look, your personal best.
