Description

The New Balance RC Essential Short 5" Men’s in Medusa Green is a running short with a four-way stretch woven shell, a side split and a built-in mesh brief. The 5 inch inseam gives a little more coverage than a racing short, and storage is generous, with a zipped back pocket and four drop-in pockets inside for keys, a phone and gels. NB DRY fabric made with 86% recycled polyester moves sweat away, so it stays light on long, warm runs.

Why You'll Love It
  • A stretchy shell and side split that move freely with every stride
  • A built-in mesh brief, so no extra layer needed
  • Five pockets for keys, gels and a phone without a belt
  • Medusa Green makes a fresh change from black and grey
Technical Features
  • Inseam: 5 inch
  • Rise: Mid rise, sits just below the waist
  • Fit: Standard, true to size
  • Shell: Perforated four-way stretch woven with a side split
  • Material: 86% recycled polyester, 14% spandex
  • Liner: Built-in mesh knit brief
  • Pockets: Back zip pocket and four internal drop-in pockets
  • Waist: Elastic with adjustable drawstring
  • Fabric tech: NB DRY
Perfect For
  • Daily training on road and trail
  • Long runs where you carry gels and keys
  • Runners who prefer a mid-length short

Less suited to: Racing when you want the lightest, shortest cut. For that, look at our men's bottoms.

Why We Stock It

The RC Essential Short is one of New Balance's best all-round running shorts, and the Medusa Green colourway gives runners an option other than black. With five pockets, most runs need no belt.
