FAQs
What is Nike Dri-FIT technology?
Nike Dri-FIT is an innovative polyester fabric designed to help you stay dry and comfortable so you can work harder for longer. The unique construction moves sweat away from your skin to the fabric’s surface, where it quickly evaporates.
Are these sleeves meant to be worn with or without shin guards?
These Nike Strike Soccer Sleeves are specifically designed to be worn over your shin guards. Their stretch design ensures a comfortable and secure fit, helping to keep your shin guards in place during play.
How many sleeves come in a single pack?
Each purchase of the Nike Strike Soccer Sleeves includes one pair of sleeves.
What material are these sleeves made from?
The Nike Strike Soccer Sleeves are composed of 94% polyester and 6% spandex, providing a blend that is both durable and flexible.
Can these sleeves be used for sports other than soccer?
While primarily designed for soccer, their sweat-wicking and comfortable properties could make them suitable for other activities where leg compression or moisture management is desired, provided they fit comfortably over any necessary protective gear.
Do these sleeves offer any impact protection?
No, these sleeves are designed for comfort, moisture management, and securing shin guards. They do not offer significant impact protection on their own. Protection comes from the shin guards worn underneath.
Troubleshooting
Sleeves feel too tight or uncomfortable over shin guards.
Ensure your shin guards are correctly positioned and not excessively bulky for your leg size. While the sleeves are stretchable, very large shin guards might cause discomfort. Consider adjusting the shin guard's placement or reviewing its size.
Sleeves are slipping down during play.
Ensure the sleeves are pulled up fully and snugly over your shin guards. The stretch design should provide a secure fit. If the issue persists, your shin guards might be too small or too smooth for the sleeve to grip effectively. Also, check if the material has stretched out over time due to improper care.
Skin irritation after wearing the sleeves.
Ensure you are washing the sleeves regularly according to the care instructions. Residue from detergents or sweat buildup can sometimes cause irritation. If irritation persists, consult a dermatologist, as you may have a sensitivity to the fabric or a detergent component.
Sleeves do not seem to wick sweat effectively anymore.
Over time, fabric softeners or excessive detergent use can clog the fibers of Dri-FIT material, reducing its wicking ability. Re-wash the sleeves using only a small amount of mild detergent, without fabric softener. Air dry them thoroughly.
