FAQs

What age group is this top intended for?

This top is designed for kids. Specific sizing like UK children's sizes are sometimes available for younger age groups.

How does the Dri-FIT technology work?

Dri-FIT is a polyester fabric technology that moves sweat from your body to the fabric's surface, where it evaporates. This helps you stay dry and comfortable during athletic activities.

Can this top be worn in cold weather?

The top provides some warmth, especially with the thumb loops and quarter-zip collar. For very cold weather, it is best used as a base or mid-layer under additional protective outerwear.

What is the material of the top?

The top is made of 100% polyester.

How should I wash this drill top?

It is machine washable. For best results, wash cold with like colors, do not bleach, and tumble dry low or hang dry.

Are the mesh panels located on the sides?

Yes, the product description mentions breathable mesh side panels to enhance airflow.

Does this top have a hood?

No, this drill top features a stand-up collar with a quarter-zip, but it does not have a hood.

Troubleshooting

Shirt feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the Nike sizing chart or consider trying on different sizes, as fit can vary. The quarter-zip allows for some adjustability.

Sweat is not wicking effectively

Confirm the garment is not excessively worn or damaged. Ensure it's washed with appropriate detergent and not fabric softener, which can hinder wicking properties. Check that the mesh panels are not blocked.

Thumb loops feel uncomfortable

The thumb loops are designed to be discreet. If they feel uncomfortable, they can simply be left unused. Ensure the sleeves are not rolled up in a way that strains the loop.

Color fading after washing

Always wash with like colors and use cold water. Avoid using bleach. Tumble dry on a low setting or opt for line drying to preserve color vibrancy.
