Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance RC Jacket, follow standard performance apparel care practices. Machine wash the garment in cold water with similar colors to preserve the material's properties.

The jacket pairs perfectly with standard moisture-wicking base layers for a complete running system.
