Product Information
Full details
The Nike Academy 1/4 Zip Top is designed for adult athletes seeking a lightweight, high-performance layering piece for training sessions. Its key benefit is the combination of moisture-wicking technology and ventilated mesh panels, which work together to keep you cool and dry during intense physical activity; however, the athletic fit may feel restrictive if you prefer wearing bulky layers underneath.

FAQs
Is this top suitable for cold weather?
It is designed as a lightweight training top. It provides some coverage but should be worn as part of a layering system in very cold conditions.
How do I choose the right size?
This garment features an athletic fit. If you prefer a looser feel for movement, consider checking the size guide to see if sizing up is necessary.
Can I machine wash this item?
Yes, machine wash in cold water. Avoid bleach and harsh fabric softeners.
What is the purpose of the thumbholes?
Thumbholes help keep the sleeves in place during exercise and provide additional warmth for your hands without needing gloves.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the polyester fabric is designed to be breathable and moisture-wicking, not waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels heavy after exercise
Ensure you are not using fabric softener during the wash cycle, as this residue prevents the moisture-wicking fabric from working correctly.
Zipper is sticking
Check for fabric caught in the track. Gently pull the fabric away while easing the zipper head back to the neutral position.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a technical training garment, proper care is essential to maintain the moisture-wicking properties. Machine wash in cold water with similar colors and avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can clog the fibers and reduce the effectiveness of the Dri-FIT technology. Air drying or tumble drying on a low-heat setting is recommended to preserve the integrity of the polyester fabric and ensure the top maintains its shape over time.
