FAQs

What is the main benefit of the fabric used in these shorts?

The main benefit is its ultralight, stretchy, and durable woven fabric that wicks sweat and dries quickly, providing maximum freedom of movement and comfort during runs.

Are these shorts suitable for men of all sizes?

The shorts are designed for men and are available in various sizes. However, the 5-inch inseam is a specific design choice that may suit some preferences more than others.

How do I wash and care for my Under Armour Launch 5" Shorts?

You should machine wash them cold with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach only if needed, tumble dry on low, and do not iron, use softeners, or dry clean.

What is the inseam length of these shorts?

The inseam length for these shorts is 5 inches.

Do these shorts have pockets?

Yes, they feature open hand pockets and a specific internal phone pocket on the right side.

What percentage of the shorts is made from recycled materials?

The main body fabric contains at least 90% recycled polyester, excluding trims and embellishments. Specific colorways (362 & 390) contain at least 20% recycled polyester.

Can I wear a base layer under these shorts?

Yes, you can wear a base layer. The internal mesh liner provides coverage and support, but an additional base layer can be worn if preferred for warmth or additional support.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The 4-way stretch fabric is designed for movement, so a proper fit is key. Check that the internal drawcord is adjusted correctly for a secure yet comfortable fit.

Sweat is not wicking effectively.

Ensure the shorts are not overloaded with other garments (like a base layer underneath that doesn't wick well). For optimal performance, wash the shorts according to care instructions; fabric softeners can impede wicking capabilities.

Phone pocket feels insecure.

The internal pocket is designed for secure storage, but ensure your phone fits snugly. For very large phones, consider an arm band if additional security is needed.
