FAQs
What does Nike Dri-FIT technology do?
Nike Dri-FIT is an innovative polyester fabric technology designed to help you stay dry and comfortable by moving sweat from your skin to the fabric's outer surface, where it quickly evaporates.
What age group are these shorts designed for?
These specific shorts are designed for older kids, typically fitting ages 7-8 based on the product variant.
Can these shorts be used for swimming?
No, while they are designed to manage moisture, these shorts are not intended for use as swimwear. They are optimized for sweat-wicking during land-based athletic activities.
What materials are these shorts made from?
The main body of the shorts is made from 83% polyester and 17% elastane. The gusset lining is 100% polyester.
How long is the inseam on these shorts?
These Nike Pro Dri-FIT Shorts feature a 5-inch inseam, providing good coverage and freedom of movement.
Will these shorts restrict my child's movement during sports?
No, quite the opposite. The stretchy knit fabric and reinforced seams are specifically designed to allow for comfortable movement and stretching, supporting your child's natural range of motion during activities.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or restrictive during activity.
The shorts are designed for a body-hugging fit. If they feel uncomfortably tight or restrict movement, double-check the size. Consider trying a larger size to ensure optimal comfort and range of motion.
Dri-FIT technology doesn't seem to be wicking sweat effectively.
Ensure the shorts are worn directly against the skin for optimal sweat-wicking performance. Avoid wearing cotton layers underneath, as cotton absorbs moisture and can hinder the Dri-FIT function. Also, ensure the shorts are clean, as residue from fabric softeners or excessive detergent can impact performance. Repeat washing without softener.
Fabric appears damaged or pilled after washing.
Always follow the care instructions precisely. Use cold water, a gentle cycle, and avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. High heat and harsh chemicals can damage synthetic fibers like polyester and elastane, leading to pilling or degradation.

Care
To maintain the performance and longevity of your Nike Pro Dri-FIT Shorts, follow these care instructions:
- Machine Wash: Wash in cold water with similar colors.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive amounts of detergent.
- Bleach: Do not use bleach, as it can damage the fabric and the Dri-FIT technology.
- Fabric Softeners: Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and reduce the wicking properties of the fabric.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, hang dry to preserve the fabric's integrity and performance. High heat can damage the elastane.
- Ironing: Do not iron.
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
