FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While they feature a mesh liner and quick-dry fabric, they are designed specifically for gym performance and running rather than use as dedicated swimwear.
Do these shorts have a zipper pocket?
No, they include open hand pockets and a dedicated internal phone pocket, but they do not feature external zippered closures.
How short is the 5-inch inseam?
A 5-inch inseam generally hits about mid-thigh, providing a shorter, more athletic cut that prioritizes range of motion.
Is the waistband elastic?
Yes, it features a soft-knit waistband for comfort, supplemented by an internal drawstring for a customized, secure fit.
Can I wash these in hot water?
It is recommended to machine wash in cold water to prevent shrinking and to protect the performance fabric and reflective logo.
Is the phone pocket large enough for all smartphones?
The pocket is designed to hold most standard-sized smartphones, but extra-large or bulky cases may make insertion difficult.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel loose during high-intensity running
Ensure the internal drawstring is tied securely before you begin your workout to maintain the desired fit around the waist.
Fabric feels heavy after a very long workout
Ensure you are not using fabric softeners during the wash cycle, as these products can degrade the sweat-wicking properties of the material.
Phone bounces in the internal pocket
Ensure the phone is pushed fully into the internal sleeve and that the drawstring is tightened enough to keep the waistband stable against your hips.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your Under Armour Launch shorts starts with ensuring the proper fit. Use the internal drawstring to cinch the waistband securely before starting your exercise to prevent slipping. Since these feature a regular fit, they are compatible with most body types but should be selected based on your standard apparel size. Regarding care, these shorts are made from durable polyester materials. To maintain the integrity of the moisture-wicking technology and the elasticity of the waistband, machine wash in cold water with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the moisture-wicking fibers. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to preserve the longevity of the fabric and the reflective logo elements.
