Product Information
Full details
The Under Armour Launch 2-in-1 5 Inch Shorts are engineered for adult male athletes who demand a balance of mobility and support during high-intensity training. These shorts excel by combining a lightweight woven outer shell with integrated knit compression liners that prevent chafing and provide muscle support; however, users should note that the 5-inch inseam offers a shorter, athletic cut that may not suit those preferring extended leg coverage.

FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
These shorts are designed for land-based training and running; while the fabric is synthetic, they are not specifically tested as swimwear.
Does the inner liner chafe?
The inner knit compression liner is designed to reduce friction and prevent chafing during high-movement activities.
Will my phone fit in the pocket?
The internal pocket is designed to hold most standard-sized smartphones securely against the body.
What is the inseam length?
These shorts feature a 5-inch inseam, which is considered a standard athletic cut for running and training.
Can I wear these without underwear?
Yes, the built-in knit compression liner provides the necessary support and coverage, making additional underwear optional.
Are the shorts true to size?
The Under Armour Launch series generally follows standard athletic sizing; if you prefer a looser fit in the outer shell, you may consider your typical size.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel restrictive during deep squats
Ensure the internal drawcord is fully loosened to allow for maximum expansion of the waistband.
Moisture-wicking seems less effective over time
Wash the shorts without fabric softener, as chemical softeners coat the fibers and block the wicking process.
Visible odor after training
Ensure the shorts are removed promptly after exercise and hung to dry rather than left in a damp gym bag.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the fabric and the effectiveness of the moisture-wicking and odor-control technologies, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with similar colors.
- Detergent: Use mild detergents; avoid using fabric softeners as they can clog the pores of the moisture-wicking fibers.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to preserve the integrity of the elastic waistband and synthetic fibers.
- Bleaching: Do not use bleach or dry clean.
- Ironing: Avoid ironing, as high heat can damage the technical polyester construction.
