FAQs
What is NB DRY technology?
NB DRY is New Balance's proprietary fast-drying technology that wicks away moisture from the body, helping athletes stay cool and dry.
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While the fabric is quick-drying, these shorts are primarily designed for athletic training and not specifically for swimming. They do not offer the same features as dedicated swimwear.
Can I wear something under the built-in brief?
The built-in brief is designed to provide support and comfort on its own. Wearing additional undergarments is a personal preference, but it may affect moisture-wicking and comfort.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Consult the New Balance size chart, paying attention to waist and hip measurements. The adjustable drawcord also allows for a customized fit.
Are the hand pockets deep enough for a phone?
The hand pockets are designed for small essentials like keys or cards. For larger items like smartphones, a secure pocket with a zipper might be more suitable.
How do I wash the shorts to maintain their performance?
Machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry low. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as they can damage the moisture-wicking properties.
What is the inseam length?
The inseam length for these shorts is 5 inches.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel damp after a workout.
Ensure the NB DRY technology is functioning correctly by washing the shorts with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, which can impede moisture-wicking properties.
Drawcord is not holding securely.
Ensure the drawcord is tied tightly. If the cord ends are frayed, carefully trim them or consider replacing the drawcord.
Fit feels too tight or too loose.
Refer to the size chart for accurate measurements before purchasing. Different sizes are available to accommodate various body types.
