FAQs
What is DriFIT technology?
DriFIT is Nike's innovative moisture-wicking fabric technology designed to pull sweat away from the body to the fabric's surface, where it can evaporate, helping you stay dry and comfortable.
Are these shorts suitable for running?
Yes, the lightweight fabric, moisture-wicking properties, and secure fit make them suitable for running and other cardio activities.
How do I know if the slim fit is right for me?
The slim fit is designed to be close to the body without being restrictive. If you prefer a looser feel or have a larger build, you might consider a size up or a different fit type.
Can I wear these shorts for casual everyday use?
While comfortable, their design is optimized for athletic performance. For casual wear, you might find other styles more suited to everyday comfort.
What material are the shorts made from?
The shorts are made from 100% polyester, which is a lightweight and durable synthetic fabric.
How should I wash my DriFIT Academy 25 Shorts?
Machine wash cold with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach only if needed, and tumble dry on low. It is recommended to wash and dry them inside out.
Do these shorts have pockets?
The provided description does not specify pockets. Typically, performance shorts may have limited or no pockets to reduce weight and bulk.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If a slimmer fit is preferred, consider the stated slim fit. If a looser fit is desired, explore other Nike models with a regular fit.
Waistband is not secure
Adjust the elastic waistband using the internal drawstring for a more secure fit. Ensure the drawstring is tied appropriately.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Check the care label instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can sometimes affect the performance of technical fabrics like DriFIT. Tumble dry on low heat.
Sweat is not wicking effectively
Ensure the garment is not overly saturated with product buildup from detergents or fabric softeners. Wash the shorts inside out with like colors in cold water.
