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.

These shorts are great for anything. Doing work around the house, cooking, and running errands. They are so comfortable and flexible.

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.

I did not realized when I order it that it had perforated lining. Otherwise fabric and fit is perfect.

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.

Surprised!

Originally posted on Under Armour

Yes, I recommend this

I was disappointed the 9" inseam wasn't available, which I have worn for years, but these 7" were a pleasant surprise. The material feels lighter, the fit is great, and I really like the shorter length. I went back and bought several pairs.

Nice Looking Shorts

Originally posted on Under Armour

Yes, I recommend this

The shorts have a good look, have a comfortable feel and a material that will dry fast when wet. I ordered a medium and they fit small, so I recommend ordering a size up from your usual.

Thanks for the great feedback, Mike! We’re so glad you love the look and feel. Sorry to hear the sizing was a bit off, though! Definitely good advice to size up. We’ll keep that in mind for future.
