FAQs
What is Dri-FIT fabric?
Dri-FIT is a high-performance polyester fabric technology designed by Nike to wick moisture from the skin and evaporate it from the fabric surface, helping athletes stay dry and comfortable.
How should I choose my size?
This top has a slim fit. Refer to Nike's standard sizing charts and consider your personal preference for fit. If you are between sizes or prefer a roomier fit, consider sizing up.
Can this be worn in cold weather?
While lightweight, the 1/4 zip design allows for some adjustability. For colder weather, it's best used as a base layer under warmer gear.
Is this top suitable for casual wear?
While comfortable, its design is optimized for athletic performance. It can be worn casually, but its primary function is for training.
How do I clean the top to maintain its performance?
Machine wash cold with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach only if needed, and tumble dry on low. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impede the Dri-FIT technology.
What are the mesh panels for?
The mesh panels are strategically placed in high-heat zones to provide enhanced ventilation and breathability, helping to keep you cool during intense activity.
Does this top have pockets?
This specific drill top model does not feature pockets, as it is designed for streamlined athletic performance where extra bulk is avoided.
Troubleshooting

The item features a slim fit. Consider ordering a size up if you prefer a looser fit. Ensure the 1/4 zip is adjusted for maximum comfort.
