FAQs
What does NB DRY technology do?
NB DRY is New Balance's fast-drying technology that wicks moisture away from your body, helping you stay cool and dry during exercise.
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While they are quick-drying, they are designed primarily for athletic activities like running and training rather than swimming. The built-in brief may not be ideal for prolonged water submersion.
How long is the inseam on these shorts?
These shorts feature a 5-inch inseam.
Can I store my phone in the pockets?
The side pockets are suitable for small items. For larger phones, it might be a snug fit, and a running belt or armband might be a more secure option during intense activity.
What material are the shorts made of?
The shorts are made primarily from polyester.
How do I care for these shorts to maintain their performance?
Machine wash cold with like colors, do not use bleach, and tumble dry low. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning to preserve the fabric's properties.
Is the reflective logo durable?
The reflective logo is designed for durability with proper care. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat in the dryer, which can degrade the reflective material over time.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel damp after activity
Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions. For severe issues, check if the fabric has been exposed to fabric softeners which can impede moisture-wicking.
Drawstring is difficult to adjust
Gently work the drawstring back and forth to loosen any tightness in the waistband casing. Ensure the drawstring is not twisted.
Fit is too tight or too loose
Refer to the sizing chart for New Balance apparel. This specific product is a size L; consider exchanging for a different size if available.
