Product Information

Full details

The Nike Academy Drill Top is designed for young athletes, offering comfort and performance during training. Its key benefit is the sweat-wicking Dri-FIT technology that keeps kids dry and focused, making it ideal for practice sessions. A potential consideration is that it's a training top, not a standalone jacket for very cold weather. This top features a quarter-zip for adjustable ventilation, mesh side panels for enhanced breathability, and is made from 100% polyester for durability and ease of care.

FAQs

Is this top suitable for very cold weather?

The Nike Academy Drill Top is designed as a performance training layer. While it offers some warmth and can be layered, it is not intended as a heavy-duty jacket for extreme cold. For very cold weather, consider layering it over a thermal base layer and adding a warmer outer jacket.

What age group is this product for?

This product is specifically designed for kids and juniors, catering to younger athletes.

How do I wash the Academy Drill Top?

You can machine wash the top cold with like colors. Tumble dry on low heat and use a cool iron if needed. Avoid bleach and dry cleaning to preserve the fabric and its performance features.

What is Dri-FIT technology?

Dri-FIT is a technology developed by Nike that helps to wick moisture away from the skin to the fabric's surface, where it evaporates. This helps keep athletes dry and comfortable during exercise.

Can this top be worn by both boys and girls?

Yes, the design is unisex, making it suitable for young athletes regardless of gender.

What material is the top made of?

The Nike Academy Drill Top is made from 100% polyester.

Does this top have pockets?

This specific model, the Academy Drill Top, typically does not feature pockets. It is designed with a streamlined fit for athletic performance.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels damp after intense activity.

While Dri-FIT technology wicks sweat, prolonged high-intensity activity can saturate any fabric. Ensure the garment is properly washed and dried according to care instructions to maintain its wicking properties. It is designed to manage sweat during activity, not necessarily to feel completely dry under all conditions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down a few times. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite from a pencil tip can be applied to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this could cause damage.

Item seems to have lost its shape after washing.

Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions precisely. Avoid high heat drying, which can cause shrinkage or misshaping. Lay flat or hang to dry if concerned about maintaining shape.
