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
No, I don't recommend this
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.
Comfort, cool, stylish

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.
Love the phone pocket inside the pocket!

Excellent shorts for running
Originally posted on Under Armour

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.
