The New Balance RC Pocket Half Tight 9-Inch is a fitted running tight designed for training sessions, faster workouts and race-day use. Its NB Sleek fabric combines four-way stretch with a close fit intended to move with the body, while NB DRY technology is used to help move moisture away during exercise.
Storage is the main practical feature. Drop-in pockets sit on both sides, and a zipped pocket at the back provides a more secure place for smaller essentials. The mid-rise waistband uses an external drawcord for adjustment, and the 9-inch inseam offers more coverage than a traditional split short. New Balance lists the fabric as 71% recycled polyester and 29% Lycra, with a reflective logo for low-light visibility.
These are form-fitting running tights rather than medical compression wear. Runners should check the manufacturer’s size guide and test pocket fit with their own phone or fuel. The recorded US$69.99 is New Balance’s regular US listed price checked on 20 October 2026; regional prices and availability can differ.
