Nike Sportswear Tech Fleece Full Zip Top - Black - Kids - 7-8

Nike Tech Fleece is an innovative fabric construction that sandwiches soft cotton jersey between two layers of material, creating a lightweight, warm, and breathable textile that doesn't add bulk.

While the Tech Fleece provides excellent lightweight warmth, it's most suitable for cooler weather or as a layering piece in colder conditions. For very hot weather, it may be too warm.

This top offers comfort and some breathability suitable for light to moderate activity. For intensive sports or heavy perspiration, dedicated moisture-wicking athletic wear might be more appropriate.

Always close the zipper before washing to prevent snagging or damage. Avoid overfilling the pocket to prevent stress on the zipper mechanism.

Nike kids' sizing is generally true to age. If your child is between sizes or you prefer a slightly looser fit for growth, it's often advisable to size up. Refer to Nike's official size chart for detailed measurements if available.

The quality construction of Tech Fleece is designed to resist pilling under normal wear and care. Following the recommended washing instructions (cold wash, low tumble dry or air dry) will help maintain its smooth finish and prevent pilling.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and washing in cold water. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry, as high heat can alter fabric texture. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can sometimes leave residue that affects the feel of technical fabrics.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. If there's fabric caught, carefully pull it away. For persistent sticking, a small amount of graphite from a pencil rubbed onto the zipper teeth can help lubricate it.

Always wash in cold water and tumble dry on the lowest heat setting or air dry. High heat is a common cause of shrinkage for cotton-blend fabrics. If shrinkage has occurred, it is often not reversible.
