FAQs

What is the inseam length of these shorts?

The Under Armour Launch 9" Shorts have a 9-inch inseam.

Are these shorts suitable for swimming?

While the material is quick-drying, these shorts are designed for athletic performance on land and do not function as swimwear. They do not provide the buoyancy or coverage typically expected from swim shorts.

How should I wash these shorts?

Machine wash cold with like colors. Use non-chlorine bleach only if needed. Tumble dry on low heat. Do not iron or use fabric softeners.

Does the internal mesh liner offer significant compression?

The internal mesh liner provides added coverage and support, but it is not designed for high-level compression. It offers a comfortable, snug fit.

What is the main benefit of the recycled polyester content?

Using recycled polyester in the main body fabric helps reduce environmental impact by utilizing pre-existing materials, contributing to sustainability efforts.

Can I remove the internal mesh liner?

The internal mesh liner is integrated into the shorts and cannot be removed.

What types of activities are these shorts best for?

These shorts are ideal for running, gym workouts, cross-training, and general athletic activities due to their lightweight, breathable, and moisture-wicking properties.

Troubleshooting

Waistband feels too loose or too tight.

Adjust the internal drawcord to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. Ensure the drawcord is not twisted.

Shorts feel heavy or clingy after sweating.

Ensure the fabric is not overloaded with moisture. The material is designed to wick sweat; if excessive, consider lighter layers or cooler conditions. Verify that fabric softeners were not used in washing, as they can impede wicking.

Phone pocket feels insecure.

Ensure the phone is placed fully within the pocket and the pocket flap (if applicable, though not specified) is closed. For very vigorous activity, consider a secure armband for enhanced stability.

Material feels stiff after washing.

Avoid high heat in the dryer and do not iron. If stiffness persists, re-wash with a small amount of detergent and tumble dry on low without heat.
