FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Dri-FIT technology?
Dri-FIT technology is designed to wick sweat away from your skin to the surface of the fabric, where it can evaporate, helping you stay dry and comfortable during physical activity.
Can this top be worn in cold weather?
Yes, the 100% polyester material and the option for thumbholes provide a layer of warmth. For very cold conditions, it's best worn as a mid-layer over a base layer.
Is this top suitable for girls and boys?
Yes, the design is unisex, making it suitable for both boys and girls participating in sports or other activities.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to Nike's general junior sizing chart, paying attention to chest and sleeve measurements. This top has a performance fit, so if you prefer a looser feel, consider sizing up.
What are the care instructions for this drill top?
It is machine washable with like colors and can be tumble dried on low heat. Avoid bleach and cool iron if needed.
Does the quarter-zip go all the way up?
No, it is a 1/4 zip, meaning it zips down from the neckline, allowing for adjustable ventilation rather than a full zip.
Are there other colors available in this junior size?
This specific listing is for the Grey/Black color in size L. Nike offers the Academy Drill Top in various colors and sizes; please check other listings for availability.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can sometimes affect the performance of technical fabrics. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
Thumbholes feel restrictive.
The thumbholes are designed for a snug fit to keep sleeves in place. If they feel too tight, you can try gently stretching them out by wearing them for a short period. Ensure the size selected is appropriate.
Sweat-wicking effectiveness seems reduced.
Over time, residues from detergents or body oils can impact Dri-FIT performance. Try washing the garment with a specialized sports detergent or a small amount of white vinegar in the rinse cycle to help clear out buildup.
