FAQs

What material is the Nike Academy 1/4 Zip Top made of?

The top is made from 100% Polyester, designed for a smooth, light, and airy feel.

How does the Dri-FIT technology work?

How should I wash the top?

It is machine washable. Follow the care instructions: machine wash cold with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach if needed, tumble dry low, and cool iron if necessary.

Does it have pockets?

The product description does not mention pockets. This style typically focuses on a streamlined design for athletic performance.

Is the Swoosh logo embroidered or printed?

The product description mentions a Swoosh logo at the chest, implying it is a standard application like printing or heat transfer, common for athletic apparel.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels damp after workout.

Ensure the garment is not overloaded in the washing machine to allow for proper rinsing of sweat-wicking agents. Always follow care instructions for optimal performance.

Excessive heat during activity.

Adjust the quarter-zip collar to increase ventilation. If conditions are very warm, consider wearing a lighter base layer or using the top only for cooler parts of your workout.

Zipper snagging.

Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. Ensure the fabric is flat around the zipper before zipping. If persistent, check for any loose threads caught in the mechanism.
