FAQs
Can I use these for swimming?
These shorts are designed for gym and running performance. While the polyester material is durable, they are not chlorine-resistant swimwear and the compression liner is not designed for underwater use.
Is the compression liner removable?
No, the compression liner is integrated directly into the construction of the shorts to provide essential support and coverage.
Will the phone pocket hold a large smartphone?
The internal pocket is designed to secure most standard-sized mobile devices. Larger "Max" or "Plus" sized phones may fit snugly depending on the case used.
Are these shorts suitable for hot weather training?
Yes, the inclusion of super-breathable mesh panels and fast-drying fabric makes them highly effective for training in hot and humid conditions.
Do I need to wear underwear with these?
No, the built-in knit compression liner is intended to be worn directly against the skin, providing the necessary support so that additional underwear is not required.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels less stretchy or holds sweat
Check if fabric softener was used in the wash. Softeners clog the synthetic fibers and inhibit wicking; rinse the shorts thoroughly in cold water to try and remove residue.
Waistband feels loose during activity
Ensure the internal drawcord is tied securely before starting your workout; the soft knit waistband is designed to flex, so the drawcord is the primary method for maintaining a custom fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your UA Launch 2-in-1 shorts, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash in cold water with similar colors.
- Bleaching: Use only non-chlorine bleach if absolutely necessary.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting.
- Prohibitions: Do not use fabric softeners, as they degrade the moisture-wicking technology. Do not iron the garment and do not dry clean.
These shorts feature a regular fit, designed to accommodate standard sizing. Ensure you check the internal label or product specifications for your preferred waist size to maintain the intended compression fit of the liner.
