The New Balance RC Essential Short is a running short built for unrestricted movement and on-the-go convenience. The perforated, four-way stretch woven shell moves with your body in every direction, while NB DRY technology wicks moisture away from your skin to help keep you comfortable through warm-weather miles. A built-in mesh knit brief adds breathability and support without feeling constrictive. When it comes to carrying your essentials, five pockets handle everything from keys and nutrition gels to a standard-sized phone. An elastic waistband with an adjustable drawstring keeps the fit dialed in from the first mile to the last.

  • Size & Fit Guide

Does this short have a built-in liner, or do I need to wear separate underwear?

The men's RC Essential Short includes a built-in mesh knit brief, so no separate underwear is needed. The mesh construction is designed to provide both support and breathability during your run.

Will the waistband stay in place while I'm running?

The elastic waistband includes an adjustable drawstring so you can customize the fit and keep the shorts secure throughout your workout.

What can I actually fit in the pockets?

The short features four internal drop-in pockets and one external back zippered pocket. Verified purchasers report fitting their phone, keys, and cards easily across the available pockets.

Is this short true to size, or should I size up or down?

The RC Essential Short is designed with a standard fit that runs true to size. If you're between sizes, verified purchasers consistently describe the fit as accurate to standard sizing.

What is the difference between the 5" and 7" inseam options?

Both inseam lengths share the same pocket system, NB DRY fabric, mesh-knit internal brief, and side-split design. The 7" inseam provides additional thigh coverage, which many runners prefer for longer training runs and race day. The 5" inseam offers a shorter, race-weight feel. Choose based on your preferred coverage and the type of running you do.

Is any of the fabric made from recycled materials?

Both the shell and the liner use recycled polyester as the primary fiber. The main body is 86% recycled polyester and 14% spandex; the liner is 86% recycled polyester, 6% polyester, and 8% spandex.

How should I wash and care for the NB DRY fabric?

Machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry on low heat.  The recycled polyester and spandex blend is designed to retain its stretch and shape through repeated washing.
