FAQs

Is this top suitable for cold weather?

It is a performance mid-layer. It works well for cool weather or as part of a layering system, but it is not a heavy winter jacket.

Can I use fabric softener when washing this top?

No, fabric softener can clog the pores of the Dri-FIT fabric and reduce its ability to wick sweat away.

What is the best way to clean the top?

It is machine washable. We recommend washing in cold water and air drying to keep the fabric in top condition.

Does the zipper stay in place?

The zipper is designed to be low-profile and secure, but ensure it is pulled all the way up into the garage (if present) to prevent it from rubbing against the neck.

Is this a unisex item?

Yes, this model is designed as unisex sizing, suitable for both boys and girls.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels damp after heavy sweating

Ensure the top is not worn over an absorbent cotton t-shirt, which can trap moisture. Wear a moisture-wicking base layer underneath instead.

Sleeves slide up during movement

Utilize the integrated thumbholes to anchor the sleeves in place during high-intensity drills.

Snags appearing on the fabric

Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces like concrete or velcro. If a thread pulls, do not cut it; use a needle to carefully pull it to the inside of the garment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent moisture management
  • Adjustable temperature control via quarter-zip
  • Thumbholes ensure sleeves don't ride up
  • Highly breathable with mesh inserts
  • Machine washable for easy maintenance

Cons

  • Lightweight material may require layering in freezing temperatures
  • Polyester fabric can snag on rough surfaces
  • Fit is tailored, which may feel snug for some users

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This garment is designed for a regular athletic fit. To ensure the longevity of the Dri-FIT technology and the integrity of the fabric, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash in cold water with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and interfere with the sweat-wicking properties.
  2. Drying: Air drying is recommended to prevent heat damage to the synthetic fibers. If using a dryer, use a low-heat setting.
  3. Ironing: Avoid ironing directly over the embroidered Swoosh logo.
  4. Compatibility: This top layers well over a base layer for extra warmth or under a windbreaker on rainy days, making it a versatile mid-layer for year-round sports usage.
