FAQs
What is Nike Dri-FIT technology?
Nike Dri-FIT is a high-performance, microfiber, polyester fabric that moves sweat away from the body and to the fabric surface, where it evaporates. This helps athletes stay dry and comfortable.
Can this jersey be worn on its own, or is it only for layering?
Yes, it can be worn on its own, especially in mild weather or indoors. However, its primary design as a 'first layer' means it's ideal for wearing under other garments to enhance comfort and moisture management.
Is this jersey suitable for cold weather?
As a first layer, it provides light insulation and excellent moisture-wicking. For cold weather, it should be combined with additional layers, such as a mid-layer fleece and an outer jacket, for adequate warmth.
How do I properly wash this Nike Dri-FIT jersey?
Machine wash cold with like colors. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry to preserve the fabric's performance and longevity. Avoid dry cleaning.
Are there other colors or sizes available for this product?
While this specific variant is green, Nike often produces first layer jerseys in a range of colors and sizes to suit different preferences and age groups. Please check the product page or retailer for other available options.
What are the benefits of raglan sleeves?
Raglan sleeves are sewn from the collar to the underarm, eliminating the shoulder seam. This design allows for a greater range of motion, reduces chafing, and provides a more comfortable fit, especially during active movements like reaching and throwing.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after intense activity.
Ensure the garment is correctly sized for optimal moisture-wicking; a too-loose fit can reduce contact with the skin, while a too-tight fit can restrict airflow. Also, confirm you're not using fabric softener during washing, as it can coat fibers and reduce wicking effectiveness.
Sleeve rides up during movement.
Utilize the Invisible Thumb Loops by slipping your child's thumbs through them. This will help keep the sleeves securely in place, especially when layering or during dynamic arm movements.
Garment has an odor after wear.
Wash the jersey promptly after use to prevent odor buildup. Polyester, while great for wicking, can sometimes retain odors if left unwashed. Ensure the wash cycle is appropriate and avoid overloading the washing machine.
Swoosh logo is peeling or cracking.
This can sometimes happen from high heat. Always tumble dry on low or air dry, and avoid ironing directly over the logo. If ironing is necessary, turn the garment inside out or place a cloth over the logo.
