Nice shorts with enough room to move

This is 100% polyester short , fitting has enough room to move while playing sports. Pockets are placed at right location if you plan to keep a small mobile or wallet. This is second color I purchased.

Great workout shorts, for cross sport training

Great pair of running shorts and good for all round use. Thin and comfortable. Only 2 things to note - the 2 side vents, they are almost see through. Also - the inner "phone pocket" is really too small to carry anything except a few coins or maybe some keys.

Fit and Length are True to Size

I run and workout in these shorts. I own several of them from UA. I like the “fitted” fit and 5” length. They are tighter than the average pair of shorts. But, that is expected from a “fitted” fit and what I wanted. I buy a pair every time they go on sale.

My son prefers these shorts. He likes the length, the cut, and the fabric. They are comfortable and don’t wear out quickly.

This is about the 4th pair of these shorts I have bought for my tall 13 yo. They fit great, not too short but still on trend. The fabric is light and does not wrinkle. I bought a small men's and he wears size 29-30 waist.

Comfy but Extremely See-Through

No, I don't recommend this
At least the vibrant yellow I got were. They have an odd liner too I wasn’t a fan of. Was a bit too little of support and the lines of it looked like underwear lines through the shorts.

Hey, there! Yikes! See-through shorts is not the move and we're sorry that happened! We want you to feel comfortable and confident when in our gear and it sounds like this wasn't the vibe. But we've got your back and are sure we can get you something that is just what you're looking for, like perhaps our UA Unstoppable shorts, that are made from a different material blend and don't have a liner. I'll send an email with more information.

Very light, but consider sizing up
Originally posted on Under Armour

I ordered two pairs of these. Both arrived on time and in good shape. These shorts are very light, if a little see through. I ordered a medium based on the size chart, but while they fit well around the waist, they were quite tight on the quads. I guess that's not necessarily a bad problem to have. If you have big quads, consider sizing up. Definitely ordering a large, but I wish the return process allowed me to swap for a larger size directly instead of having to reorder.

Overall good short.

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.
