FAQs
What is Tech Fleece made of?
The main body of this hoodie is made from 53% cotton and 47% polyester. The hood lining is composed of 69% cotton and 31% polyester.
Is this hoodie suitable for adults?
This hoodie is designed as a juniors' or kids' edition. While adults might be able to wear it depending on their size and preference for a snugger fit, it's recommended to consult the size chart for accurate measurements.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the product's specific size chart provided by Nike. Compare your measurements (chest, height, arm length) to the chart to select the most appropriate size, considering it's a junior fit.
Can I put this hoodie in the dryer?
Yes, you can tumble dry the hoodie on a low heat setting. However, for maximum longevity and to help prevent shrinkage or pilling, air drying or hanging it to dry is recommended.
What is the purpose of the chevron tape detailing?
The chevron tape detailing is a signature design element of Nike's Tech Fleece line, adding a distinctive aesthetic and reinforcing seams for durability.
Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?
The zip pockets are designed for small essentials. While some smaller smartphones may fit, larger models might not be fully secured or comfortably stored. It's best to check the dimensions of your device against the pocket size if possible.
How does Tech Fleece compare to regular fleece?
Tech Fleece is designed to be lightweight yet warm, with a smooth construction on both sides. It offers more breathability and a sleeker profile compared to traditional, bulkier fleece materials.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stuck
Gently try to wiggle the zipper up and down. If there's fabric caught, carefully try to pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a tiny bit of wax to the teeth may help it slide more smoothly.
Pilling on the fleece fabric
Pilling can occur with friction. Use a fabric shaver to gently remove pills. Washing the hoodie inside out and avoiding high-heat drying can also help minimize pilling.
Color fading after washing
Always wash with cold water and like colors. Avoid harsh detergents and direct sunlight when drying. Consider washing inside out to protect the outer fabric and color.
Drawstring is lost or damaged
If the drawstring needs replacement, you can purchase a new one from a craft or fabric store and use a safety pin or a small tool to thread it through the hood channel.
