FAQs
What material are these shorts made from?
The shorts are made from 100% recycled polyester, offering a lightweight and sustainable option.
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While the material is quick-drying, these shorts are primarily designed for running and athletic activities, not as dedicated swimwear.
How do I know which size to order?
Refer to the size chart provided by New Balance and consider your measurements. The model is 6'1" and wears a size medium.
Can I wear these without underwear?
Yes, the shorts feature a built-in brief designed to provide support and comfort, negating the need for separate underwear.
How should I care for the shorts to ensure they last?
Machine wash cold with like colors, tumble dry on low heat, and avoid bleach and ironing to maintain fabric integrity and the reflective logo.
What does 'NB DRY tech' mean?
NB DRY is New Balance's technology designed to wick moisture away from your body, helping you stay dry and comfortable during exercise.
Are there other color options available?
This specific model is available in a Navy colorway. Availability of other colors may vary.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the drawstring on the waistband for a more secure or relaxed fit. If the overall size is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Chafing during long runs
Ensure the built-in brief is properly positioned. For very sensitive skin, consider wearing seamless anti-chafing underwear underneath.
Fabric pilling after washing
Ensure you are following the care instructions: wash cold, tumble dry low, and avoid harsh detergents or excessive friction during washing.
Reflective logo fading
Avoid high heat drying and ironing directly on the logo. Follow the 'Do Not Iron' instruction carefully.
