Product Information
Full details
These New Balance Essential Running Shorts are designed for adult males seeking comfortable and functional athletic wear for training. Their key benefit is the combination of ultra-smooth, lightweight recycled polyester with sweat-wicking technology to keep you dry and cool. A potential caveat for some users might be the regular fit, which may not suit those preferring a very loose or very tight feel. These shorts feature NB DRY moisture-wicking technology, a breathable built-in brief, an adjustable waistband, and convenient hand pockets.

Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the drawstring on the waistband for a secure fit. If the overall size is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Sweat is not wicking effectively
Ensure the garment is not oversaturated with sweat. Wash the shorts according to care instructions, as detergent buildup can sometimes affect performance.
