Product Information
Full details
This Nike Academy 1/4 Zip Top in Blue is designed for young athletes aged 9-10 (UK size) looking to enhance their training sessions. Its key benefit is the integrated Dri-FIT technology that effectively manages sweat, keeping them comfortable and focused. A potential consideration is that while it offers extended coverage with thumbloops, some users might prefer a style without them for less restrictive movement. This top is made from 100% polyester and features mesh panels for ventilation, making it ideal for practice or outdoor activities.

FAQs

Does the Dri-FIT technology wash out over time?

Can this top be worn by both boys and girls?

Troubleshooting
Item received is not the correct size or color.
Please check the product label and packaging against your order confirmation. If there is a discrepancy, contact customer support with your order details.
Dri-FIT technology seems ineffective; garment feels damp.
Ensure the garment is washed correctly with similar fabrics and without fabric softeners, which can impede moisture-wicking. Check that the mesh panels are not obstructed. For optimal performance, wash and dry according to care instructions.
Thumbloops feel too tight or uncomfortable.
The thumbloops are designed for snugness during activity. If they consistently cause discomfort, they can be worn folded back or not used at all. The garment functions well without engaging the thumbloops.
