Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 1/4 Zip Running Top is a high-performance garment tailored for adult male runners and athletes who require reliable moisture management during intense training sessions. Featuring NBDry fabric technology, this top excels at wicking sweat away from the skin to keep you cool and dry, though users should note that the regular fit design is intended for athletic layering rather than a skin-tight compression style.

FAQs
Is this top suitable for cold weather?
It serves as an excellent mid-layer during cool weather, though in extreme cold, you may want to layer it over a thermal base layer.
Can I put this in the dryer?
Yes, it is machine washable, but we recommend using a low-heat setting or air drying to keep the fabric in top condition.
What is the primary material used?
The top is made from high-quality, moisture-wicking polyester designed for athletic performance.
Does it have pockets?
No, this specific model is designed to be streamlined and does not include pockets.
How should I determine my size?
The top follows standard sizing. If you prefer a more tailored look for running, some users find sizing down helpful, while the standard size provides a comfortable, regular fit.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after a short time
Ensure you are not wearing a cotton base layer underneath, as cotton traps sweat and prevents the NBDry technology from wicking moisture properly.
Zipper feels slightly stiff
Gently ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track; if necessary, wipe the zipper path with a clean, dry cloth to remove debris.
Garment losing shape
Verify that you are washing the garment according to the tag instructions, avoiding high-heat drying cycles which can cause synthetic fibers to warp.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 1/4 Zip Running Top, follow standard care guidelines. The garment is machine washable, but it is recommended to wash it with similar synthetic fabrics in cold water to preserve the integrity of the NBDry moisture-wicking fibers. Avoid using harsh bleach or heavy fabric softeners, as these can interfere with the material's ability to pull moisture away from the skin. For best results, air dry the top or use a low-heat setting on your tumble dryer. This top is highly compatible with other activewear pieces such as running shorts, leggings, or compression tights.
