Nike Park First Layer Top - Blue - Size 5-6

Nike Dri-FIT is an innovative polyester fabric technology designed to help you stay dry and comfortable. It rapidly moves sweat away from your body and to the fabric surface, where it evaporates quickly.

While it can be worn on its own, it's primarily designed as a base (first) layer to be worn under other clothing. This allows its moisture-wicking properties to work most effectively directly against the skin, especially in cooler conditions or for layering under a team jersey.

The thumb loops are small openings at the end of the sleeves that you can hook your thumbs through. This keeps the sleeves extended and in place during active movements. When not in use, they are designed to fold back discreetly into the cuff, making them 'invisible'.

This top is ideal for a wide range of athletic activities where staying dry and comfortable is important. This includes sports like football, rugby, running, general training, or any outdoor play, especially during changing weather conditions.

As a first layer, it provides a base level of warmth by keeping the skin dry. For very cold winter sports, it should be worn as part of a multi-layer system, combined with insulating mid-layers and a protective outer shell for adequate warmth and protection.

The specific product is for kids aged 5-6. We recommend referring to Nike's official size chart, which typically correlates age with height and weight measurements to ensure the best fit for athletic wear.

The Swoosh design trademark is heat transferred for durability. Following the care instructions, particularly avoiding high heat when washing or drying, will help preserve its integrity and prevent peeling.

Ensure you are not using fabric softener when washing, as it can block the moisture-wicking properties. Wash the garment separately or with athletic wear, and air dry or tumble dry on low. Also, verify the fit; if too loose, it may not make enough contact with the skin to wick efficiently.

The invisible thumb loops are designed to provide a snug fit. If uncomfortable, ensure they are pulled up fully so the sleeve fits smoothly, or simply tuck them into the sleeve if not needed. They are meant to be hidden when not in use.

Make sure the thumb loops are utilized to keep the sleeves in place. If they are not used, or if the top is too small, sleeves may ride up. Consider checking the sizing for a better fit, especially if the top feels tight or short.

This could be due to detergent residue or hard water. Try rewashing with less detergent, ensure a thorough rinse cycle, and consider using a gentle cycle. Always avoid fabric softener for performance wear.
