FAQs

What is the primary material of this drill top?

The Nike Dri FIT Academy 25 Drill Top is made from 100% polyester smooth knit fabric.

How does the DriFIT technology work?

DriFIT technology is designed to move sweat from your body to the surface of the fabric, where it can evaporate quickly, helping you stay dry and comfortable.

Can this top be worn in cold weather?

While the long sleeves and quarter-zip offer some warmth, this top is primarily designed for training in moderate temperatures. For very cold weather, layering would be recommended.

Are there other color options available for this model?

This specific listing is for the Grey/Gold colorway. Other color options may be available depending on the retailer and model year.

What age group is the 'L' size typically for?

The 'L' size for kids typically corresponds to ages 9-10 years, but it's always best to check the specific Nike sizing chart for the most accurate fit.

Are the thumb loops a permanent feature?

Yes, the thumb loops are integrated into the sleeve design for a secure fit during activity.

How do I ensure the longevity of the fabric's performance?

Follow the care instructions carefully: machine wash cold, avoid fabric softeners and bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. This helps maintain the DriFIT technology.

Troubleshooting

Top feels tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to Nike's sizing chart for accurate measurements. The L size is generally suitable for kids aged 9-10 years, but individual body shapes vary.

DriFIT technology seems less effective after washing.

Avoid using fabric softeners and dryer sheets, as they can clog the fabric's fibers and reduce moisture-wicking capabilities. Wash inside out with like colors and tumble dry on low heat.

Thumb loops feel uncomfortable.

Try adjusting how you wear the sleeves. The loops are designed to be discreet and should not cause discomfort if worn correctly. They can also be ignored if not needed.
