FAQs
Is this top suitable for cold weather?
Yes, it is designed as a performance layer. While it keeps you warm, it is breathable enough to be worn comfortably in moderate to cool conditions.
How should the top fit?
The Academy Drill Top is a performance garment and is intended to have a slim, athletic fit to minimize drag and maximize moisture-wicking efficiency.
Does the gold logo fade after washing?
To prevent damage to the logo, it is recommended to wash the garment inside out and avoid direct heat on the printed areas.
Can this be worn over a t-shirt?
Yes, it is commonly worn over a light athletic t-shirt for added warmth, provided the base layer is also moisture-wicking.
What is the material composition?
The top is made from performance-grade polyester, chosen for its durability, stretch, and sweat-wicking properties.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels heavy or retains sweat
Check if fabric softener was used in previous washes, which can trap moisture; re-wash without softener to restore performance.
Sleeves riding up during play
Ensure the thumbholes are properly engaged over the thumbs; this is the intended design for a secure, stay-put fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the Dri-FIT material, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash in cold water with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the moisture-wicking pores of the polyester fabric.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to maintain the structural integrity of the mesh panels and elastic cuffs. If machine drying is necessary, use a low-heat tumble setting.
- Storage: Store flat or hung on a contoured hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and collar.
- Compatibility: This top pairs perfectly with Nike Academy training pants or standard athletic shorts for a complete uniform look.
