New Balance has been around for well over 100 years. In the world of running shoes and apparel, it’s a name that’s become synonymous with quality materials, smart design, comfort and durability.
The New Balance Fast Flight 2-in-1 shorts continue this tradition. They are 7″ inseam shorts designed for men who want to mix workouts in the gym with running and everything in between.
After trying on the shorts for an outdoor run and gym workout we were impressed with their lightweight feel. The 2-in-1 design uses an inner spandex short that provides good compression. The top layer, meanwhile, is thin and light with a woven design that allows air flow and so helps cooling in warm indoor or outdoor conditions.
Overall the material of the New Balance Fast Flight 2-in-1 7″ shorts feels soft and good quality. The shorts feature useful pockets including a hidden inner drop pocket. And we found they were a perfect length, too, resting a couple of inches above the knee and so allowing flexibility and freedom of movement.
The fast-drying technology ensures the shorts doesn’t absorb moisture and get heavier during exercise. Another feature we like is the split side hem, which allows less restriction around the thigh when running. The waistband includes a drawstring fastening that stored on the inside of the shorts, providing a more streamlined look and feel.
The New Balance Fast Flight 2-in-1 7″ shorts are a great choice for running both short and longer distances in comfort. Their comfort, fit and flexibility makes them ideal for the gym too.
