FAQs
What does Dri-FIT mean?
Dri-FIT is Nike's proprietary technology designed to keep you dry and comfortable. It's a high-performance, microfiber, polyester fabric that moves sweat away from your body and to the fabric surface, where it evaporates quickly.
Are these shorts suitable for all sports?
Yes, their lightweight design and sweat-wicking properties make them highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of sports and activities, including football, basketball, running, and general outdoor play.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
It is recommended to refer to Nike's official size chart, usually available on the product page or Nike's website. Measure your child's waist and hips, and compare them to the chart to find the best fit.
Can these shorts be tumble dried?
Yes, these shorts can be tumble dried on a low heat setting. To preserve the fabric and its properties, avoid high heat. Air drying is also an excellent option.
Do I need to avoid fabric softener when washing?
Yes, it is highly recommended to avoid using fabric softeners. Fabric softeners can leave a residue that clogs the fabric's pores, reducing its ability to wick sweat effectively and compromising the Dri-FIT performance.
What material are these shorts made from?
These shorts are primarily made from polyester, a synthetic fiber known for its durability, quick-drying properties, and ability to hold its shape.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or too loose during activity.
Ensure you have selected the correct size based on your child's measurements. Refer to Nike's size chart. An ill-fitting garment can restrict movement or cause chafing.
Fabric doesn't seem to be wicking sweat effectively.
Check care labels to ensure you're not using fabric softener or washing with harsh detergents, which can clog the fabric. A build-up of residue can hinder the Dri-FIT technology. Rewash according to instructions.
Pilling or snagging on the fabric.
While durable, intense friction or contact with rough surfaces can cause pilling. Wash shorts inside out to protect the outer surface, and avoid abrasive surfaces during wear.
