FAQs

What is Dri-FIT technology?

Dri-FIT is Nike's moisture-wicking fabric technology designed to pull sweat away from the body to the fabric's surface, where it can evaporate, keeping you dry and comfortable.

Are the thumb loops comfortable for long periods?

The thumb loops are designed for discreet use during athletic activity to keep sleeves in place. They are generally comfortable for training sessions but may feel unusual for extended casual wear.

Can this top be worn in cold weather?

Yes, it can serve as a good base layer for cooler weather. The quarter-zip allows for ventilation, and the fabric provides some warmth while managing moisture.

How do I know what size to order?

Refer to Nike's standard kids' sizing chart, which usually provides measurements for chest, waist, and height to help you find the best fit. The provided size is S (UK 7-8).

Is this top suitable for all sports?

Yes, the design and features make it suitable for a wide range of sports and training activities, including football, running, and general fitness.

How should I wash the Nike Academy Drill Top?

Machine wash cold with mild detergent. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not use bleach or iron the garment.

What material is the top made of?

The top is made from 100% polyester.

Troubleshooting

Top feels tight or restrictive

Ensure the correct size is selected. Check that the quarter-zip is adjusted for comfort and that thumb loops are not overly stretched.

Sweat is not wicking effectively

Ensure the garment is clean and free of fabric softeners, which can impede Dri-FIT technology. Wash according to care instructions.

Mesh panels feel rough

This is normal for enhanced breathability. The fabric is designed to be durable and functional for athletic performance.
