RUNNING in winter has a charm all of its own and trail running even more so – there’s no heat to contend with, there are fewer people around and the allure of coming home to a warm house and a hot chocolate spurs you on through the worst weather – or maybe that’s just me.
These Under Armour Men’s Launch Run Shorts are perfect for putting on over your running tights for an extra layer of insulation – they’re suitable for women as well as men and our reviewer was certainly impressed by them when she put them through their paces last summer for our round-up of the best trail running shorts.

They feature a drawstring and an elasticated waist so you can adjust the fit for comfort and the length is good – they’re not short shorts. They’re made from polyester and the four-way stretch of the fabric allows for maximum range of movement. They also incorporate anti-odour technology to help prevent sweaty smells.

Importantly, they have pockets – one at each side – and the pocket on the right has a further mesh pocket within it to hold your phone securely in place while you run. Reflective detailing helps you be seen when running in low-light conditions as well.
There are also mesh side panels and a mesh lining for breathability and ventilation. ‘The material is great at sweat-wicking and is quick-drying, which was great when running during a rain shower as the shorts were dry again in no time,’ said our reviewer.

There are also masses of other colours available in the same style (though prices may vary) if black doesn’t tempt you.
In conclusion, our tester found the Under Armour Launch Run 7” Shorts were: ‘easy to run in and sat very well on the waist and allowed for a comfortable running motion’.
She added: ‘The extra length on these shorts makes them extra-flattering and they can double up as lifestyle shorts around runs.’
