FAQs

Are these shorts suitable for intense cardio workouts?

Yes, the 2-in-1 design and moisture-wicking fabric make them suitable for intense cardio, providing support and comfort.

What is the primary benefit of the 2-in-1 design?

The primary benefit is the integrated compression layer, which offers enhanced muscle support and significantly reduces chafing during movement.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for women's apparel, paying close attention to waist and hip measurements. If between sizes, consider the desired fit (tighter for compression, looser for more freedom).

Can I wear these shorts for casual activities?

While designed for athletic performance, the comfortable fit and material also make them suitable for casual wear, especially for active lifestyles.

Do these shorts have pockets?

These specific shorts typically do not feature prominent pockets, focusing instead on a streamlined fit for athletic performance. Please check product details for any specific pocket inclusions.

What material are the shorts made of?

The shorts are primarily made of lightweight polyester, known for its durability and moisture-wicking properties.

Troubleshooting

Inner short feels too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the size is correct, try wearing them for a short period to allow them to stretch slightly. Consider alternative styles if a looser fit is preferred.

Chafing despite the 2-in-1 design

Ensure the inner short is correctly positioned and not bunching. Apply anti-chafing balm to areas prone to friction. Verify that the size is not too small, which could cause the fabric to dig in.

Fabric feels less breathable over time

Rinse the shorts immediately after intense workouts to remove sweat residue. Ensure you are not using fabric softeners during washing, as they can clog the fabric's pores.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors.
