FAQs
Can I use these for swimming?
While made of polyester, these are designed for land-based sports and lack chlorine-resistant treatment required for frequent pool use.
Are the pockets deep enough for a phone?
The hand pockets are designed for small essentials like keys or a card; most modern smartphones may be too large for a secure fit.
What is the material composition?
These shorts are constructed from high-quality performance polyester with mechanical stretch.
Is the waistband elastic?
Yes, the shorts feature an elastic waistband complemented by an external drawcord for a secure, adjustable fit.
How do I determine my size?
These shorts follow standard athletic sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual size based on your waist measurement.
Are these shorts transparent?
No, the performance fabric is chosen for its opacity and durability, providing full coverage during movement.
Troubleshooting
Moisture is not wicking as expected
Avoid using fabric softeners or heavy detergents, which can clog the synthetic pores of the moisture-wicking fabric.
Drawcord has retracted into the waistband
Use a safety pin to guide the end of the drawcord through the eyelet opening, carefully working it around the perimeter of the waist.
Fabric snagging
Ensure that the shorts are washed in a laundry bag if being cleaned with items that have zippers or hook-and-loop fasteners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance Sport Essentials shorts, it is recommended to machine wash in cold water with similar colors. Avoid the use of fabric softeners, as these can break down the moisture-wicking properties of the synthetic polyester fibers. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to preserve the integrity of the reflective logo and the elasticity of the waist. Because these shorts feature an external drawcord, ensure the cord is tied securely before entering the wash to prevent it from snagging on other items. These shorts are designed for standard adult male sizing and the adjustable waistband allows for minor fit variances.
