Product Information
Full details
The Nike Academy 1/4 Zip Top is a high-performance training essential designed for young athletes who need to stay comfortable and agile during intense practice sessions or matches. Featuring Nike's signature Dri-FIT technology, this top actively wicks sweat away from the skin, though users should note that the polyester fabric is designed specifically for athletic movement rather than heavy-duty thermal insulation for extreme cold.

FAQs
Is this top suitable for winter?
It is designed for training in cool to moderate temperatures; for extreme cold, it is best worn as a layer under a thicker jacket.
Can I tumble dry this product?
Yes, it is machine washable; however, use a low heat setting to protect the fabric technology.
Does the Nike Academy Top run true to size?
The fit is athletic and intended to be close to the body; if you prefer a looser fit for layering, consider sizing up.
Are the thumbholes permanent?
Yes, they are integrated into the cuff design to keep sleeves in place during movement.
What should I avoid when washing?
Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the sweat-wicking properties of the Dri-FIT fabric.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels heavy after intense sweating
Ensure you are not wearing a non-breathable cotton layer underneath; use a dedicated athletic base layer instead.
Sleeve cuffs feeling stretched or loose
Avoid pulling excessively on the thumbholes; if the cuffs are stretched, air drying without tension helps the fabric regain its form.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment is ready for immediate use. To maintain the performance characteristics of the Dri-FIT technology, follow these care instructions: machine wash the garment in cold water with similar colors. Avoid the use of fabric softeners, as they can coat the synthetic fibers and compromise the moisture-wicking properties. Tumble dry on low heat or hang-dry to preserve the shape and fabric integrity. The athletic cut is designed to fit over a base layer if additional warmth is needed, though it is intended to remain close to the body for maximum performance.
