FAQs

Are these shorts suitable for all types of sports?

Yes, the New Balance Accelerate Shorts are designed as versatile athletic wear, offering comfort and sweat-wicking properties that make them suitable for a wide range of sports, gym activities, and general active play.

What is NB DRY technology?

NB DRY is New Balance's proprietary moisture-wicking technology. It's engineered to pull sweat away from the skin and disperse it across the fabric's surface, allowing for faster evaporation, which helps keep you dry and comfortable.

Are these shorts made from sustainable materials?

Yes, these shorts are made from 55% recycled polyester, demonstrating a commitment to using more sustainable materials in their production.

Can I put these shorts in the dryer?

Yes, you can tumble dry these shorts on a low heat setting. However, for optimal care and to help prolong the life of the garment, air drying is often recommended.

Do the side pockets have zippers?

The product description specifies 'side pockets for storage' but does not indicate that they are zippered. They are typically open pockets, suitable for easily accessible small items.

What age group are these shorts designed for?

This specific variant of the Accelerate Shorts is for juniors, indicated by the 'Junior' in the title and the size '9-10' (referring to UK children's sizing).

Are these shorts restrictive for active movement?

No, these shorts feature a standard fit and are made from lightweight, breathable polyester, ensuring a full range of motion and non-restrictive comfort during active endeavors.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too tight or too loose around the waist.

Utilize the elasticated drawcord waistband to adjust the fit. Pull the drawcord tighter for a more secure fit or loosen it for more comfort. Ensure you have selected the appropriate size (e.g., 9-10 UK) based on New Balance's sizing guide for juniors.

Experiencing excessive sweat discomfort despite NB DRY technology.

While NB DRY is highly effective, ensure the shorts are clean before use, as fabric softeners or detergents can sometimes leave residue that impacts moisture-wicking performance. For extremely high-intensity activities, ensure other layers (like underwear) are also moisture-wicking to prevent counteracting the shorts' benefits.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent moisture-wicking with NB DRY technology for dryness and comfort
  • Made with partly recycled materials, promoting sustainability
  • Lightweight and breathable, ideal for active juniors
  • Adjustable drawcord waistband ensures a secure and personalized fit
  • Practical side pockets for carrying small items
  • Machine washable for easy care and maintenance

Cons

  • Info needed: Specific UV protection rating is not mentioned
  • Info needed: May not be suitable for very cold weather due to lightweight material
  • Pockets may not be large enough for all items or securely hold larger smartphones

The New Balance Accelerate Shorts require no special setup. They are designed for immediate wear. These shorts are compatible with most athletic tops, shoes, and other gear, making them a versatile addition to any junior's active wardrobe.

Care Instructions

To maintain the quality, performance, and longevity of your Accelerate Shorts, please follow these simple care guidelines:

  1. Machine Wash: Wash cold with similar colors. Using a gentle cycle is recommended to protect the fabric.
  2. Do Not Bleach: Avoid using bleach, as it can damage the fabric fibers and compromise the NB DRY technology's effectiveness.
  3. Tumble Dry Low: For best results, tumble dry on a low heat setting. Air drying by hanging them up is also an excellent option to extend garment life and conserve energy.
  4. Do Not Iron: Ironing is generally not necessary and can potentially damage the technical fabrics and heat-applied logos.
