The perfect short for working out.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The New Balance Men's RC 5" short fits perfectly and has excellent breathability. See my photo where I have stretched the fabric and it shows the pores. It is very comfortable because it doesn't trap heat and is very stretchable and is perfect for working out. I really liked the outer zipper pocket and the two internal pockets to keep my things secure while I exercise.

Overall, the RC Short 5 delivers a comfortable, performance-oriented experience, making it a reliable choice for runners seeking a no-fuss and effective short for their training and races.

Great, just needs pockets
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried the New Balance RC Shorts 5”, and I’m really impressed with their performance and comfort! The fit is perfect—lightweight, breathable, and the 5-inch inseam offers great freedom of movement, making them ideal for running and high-intensity workouts. The fabric is soft, moisture-wicking, and feels great against the skin, even during long sessions. The design is sleek and modern, and they stay in place without riding up or chafing, which is a huge plus. My only suggestion would be to add pockets. While these shorts are perfect for staying light and fast, having a small pocket for essentials like keys or a phone would make them even more versatile. That said, if you’re looking for high-performance shorts for running or training, the RC Shorts 5” are definitely a top pick. Great comfort and durability—just wish they had a pocket or two for added convenience!

Simple and effective breathability
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very durable shorts for long distance running and breathability was excellent due to the perforated material. They fit well and were comfortable for the duration of my training. They have a minimalist style which can be paired with any outfit.

Great shorts but buy a size up, to small off chart
Great shorts but incorrect size chart. If you’re a men’s medium buy large.
