Ripped First Run
My son is an avid XC runner. We spend hundreds on his gear every season, almost exclusively Under Armour. He is slender 6’ and 170 pounds, bought a size Large, These ripped the first time he wore them, not at the seam but on the leg. After further inspection the material on these is thin and not stretchy like his other runners. Very dissatisfied.

Fit and Length are True to Size
I run and workout in these shorts. I own several of them from UA. I like the “fitted” fit and 5” length. They are tighter than the average pair of shorts. But, that is expected from a “fitted” fit and what I wanted. I buy a pair every time they go on sale.

Very light, but consider sizing up
I ordered two pairs of these. Both arrived on time and in good shape. These shorts are very light, if a little see through. I ordered a medium based on the size chart, but while they fit well around the waist, they were quite tight on the quads. I guess that's not necessarily a bad problem to have. If you have big quads, consider sizing up. Definitely ordering a large, but I wish the return process allowed me to swap for a larger size directly instead of having to reorder.
