Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 1/4 Zip Running Top is a high-performance athletic garment designed for adult men who need reliable moisture management during intense training sessions. Featuring NBDry fabric technology, this top excels at keeping the wearer cool and dry by wicking away sweat; however, users should note that the polyester material is best suited for active layering rather than extreme cold-weather insulation.

FAQs
Is this top suitable for marathons?
Yes, the moisture-wicking properties make it an excellent choice for long-distance running where sweat management is critical.
Does the fabric provide sun protection?
While the polyester provides some coverage, it is not specifically rated for UV protection; consider sunscreen for outdoor daytime use.
Can I tumble dry this product?
It is recommended to air dry to protect the performance fibers and the printed logo, though it is compatible with low-heat settings if absolutely necessary.
How should I choose the right size?
The product is designed with a stretchy, athletic fit. If you prefer a loose fit for layering, you may want to consider sizing up.
Is the material stretchy?
Yes, the polyester blend is specifically engineered to provide a stretchy fit that moves with your body during exercise.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after intense sweat
Ensure you are not wearing non-breathable layers underneath; use moisture-wicking base layers for best performance.
Zipper feels stiff
Check for fabric caught in the track and ensure the zipper is kept clean of debris.
Logo print peeling
Turn the garment inside out before washing to prevent abrasion against other items in the machine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 1/4 Zip Top, always follow the care label instructions. The garment is machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius; avoid using harsh fabric softeners which can coat the NBDry fibers and reduce their moisture-wicking efficiency over time. Because the garment is made from polyester, it is quick-drying, so it is recommended to hang-dry the item instead of using high-heat tumble drying, which may compromise the integrity of the fabric and the logo print. Ensure you select the correct size, as the material is designed for a performance fit that sits close to the body without being restrictive.
