FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
These shorts are designed for land-based training and running. While the material is fast-drying, they are not intended for use as swimwear.
What does 'mechanical stretch' mean?
Mechanical stretch refers to the way the fabric is woven to allow for flexibility and movement without needing elastane or spandex.
Can I remove the built-in brief?
The built-in brief is integrated into the construction of the shorts. Removing it is not recommended as it may compromise the structure and support of the garment.
How visible is the reflective logo?
The reflective logo is designed to catch light in low-visibility conditions, providing an extra layer of safety when training near roads at night.
Do these shorts run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard athletic sizing. Refer to the specific size (L) to ensure the fit matches your waist measurements.
Troubleshooting
Drawcord is stuck or difficult to tighten
Ensure the cord is not twisted inside the waistband housing and pull gently from both sides simultaneously.
Shorts feel restrictive during deep squats
Check that the shorts are pulled up correctly at the waist; the mechanical stretch requires the material to be positioned properly to provide full range of motion.
Moisture is not wicking as expected
Avoid using fabric softener in your wash cycle, as it can clog the pores of the polyester fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance Sport Essentials shorts, follow standard athletic wear care procedures. Always machine wash in cold water with similar colors to prevent fading of the purple fabric. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can coat the performance fibers and reduce the effectiveness of the moisture-wicking technology. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the integrity of the elastic and the reflective logo, though tumble drying on low heat is acceptable if necessary. Ensure the drawcord is pulled to your preferred tension before starting your workout to avoid slipping during high-impact exercise.
