The men's RC Essential Short includes a built-in mesh knit brief, so no separate underwear is needed. The mesh construction is designed to provide both support and breathability during your run.

The elastic waistband includes an adjustable drawstring so you can customize the fit and keep the shorts secure throughout your workout.

The short features four internal drop-in pockets and one external back zippered pocket. Verified purchasers report fitting their phone, keys, and cards easily across the available pockets.

The RC Essential Short is designed with a standard fit that runs true to size. If you're between sizes, verified purchasers consistently describe the fit as accurate to standard sizing.

Both inseam lengths share the same pocket system, NB DRY fabric, mesh-knit internal brief, and side-split design. The 7" inseam provides additional thigh coverage, which many runners prefer for longer training runs and race day. The 5" inseam offers a shorter, race-weight feel. Choose based on your preferred coverage and the type of running you do.

Both the shell and the liner use recycled polyester as the primary fiber. The main body is 86% recycled polyester and 14% spandex; the liner is 86% recycled polyester, 6% polyester, and 8% spandex.

Machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry on low heat.  The recycled polyester and spandex blend is designed to retain its stretch and shape through repeated washing.
