FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While the NB DRY technology wicks moisture, these shorts are not specifically designed for swimming and may not offer the same performance or drying characteristics as dedicated swimwear.
What is the inseam length?
The inseam length for these shorts is 7 inches.
How do I know if I should order a size up or down?
The product description states they are true to size. It is generally recommended to order your usual size. If you prefer a looser fit, you might consider sizing up.
Can I store my phone in the pockets?
The hand pockets and the discreet side pocket are suitable for small essentials. A standard smartphone can fit in the side pocket, but it may be less secure during very vigorous activities compared to a dedicated phone armband.
How do I care for the reflective logo?
To preserve the reflective logo, avoid ironing directly on it. Machine washing and tumble drying on low heat, following the care instructions, should be safe.
What kind of activities are these shorts best for?
These shorts are ideal for running, gym workouts, training sessions, and other athletic activities where comfort, breathability, and moisture management are important.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel damp after a workout.
Ensure the washing machine's spin cycle is effective. Check that the fabric care instructions were followed, as improper washing can affect moisture-wicking properties.
Fit is too tight or too loose.
These shorts are designed to be true to size. If the fit is not as expected, consider trying a different size or exploring other models that may offer a different fit profile.
Drawcord is difficult to adjust.
Ensure the drawcord is not tangled. If it feels stiff, gently pull and manipulate it to loosen any potential binding within the waistband.
