FAQs

What material are these shorts made from?

The shorts are made from 100% recycled polyester, offering an ultra-smooth and lightweight feel.

Are these shorts suitable for women?

These shorts are designed specifically for men, with a fit and features tailored to a male physique.

How do I determine my size?

Refer to the product sizing chart and consider the model's height and size (6'1" wearing a medium) as a reference point. The regular fit is standard.

Can I store my phone in the pockets?

The shorts feature hand pockets, which are suitable for small items like keys or a gel pack. They are not designed to securely hold larger items like a smartphone during rigorous activity.

How do I wash and care for the shorts?

Machine wash cold with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach if needed, tumble dry low, and cool iron if necessary. Do not dry clean.

What does NB DRY technology do?

NB DRY is a technology that wicks moisture away from your body, helping you stay dry and comfortable during your workout.

Is the built-in brief removable?

No, the built-in brief is integrated into the shorts and is not removable.

Troubleshooting

Waistband feels too tight/loose

Adjust the drawstring to find a comfortable and secure fit. Ensure the drawstring is tied securely.

Shorts feel damp after workout

While NB DRY wicks moisture, intense activity in very humid conditions may lead to some dampness. Ensure proper washing and drying to maintain fabric performance.

Discomfort from the built-in brief

Ensure the shorts are the correct size. Some users may prefer to wear separate athletic underwear underneath, though the built-in brief is designed for comfort and support.
