FAQs
What is DriFIT technology?
DriFIT is Nike's advanced moisture-wicking fabric technology designed to move sweat from your skin to the surface of the garment, where it can evaporate, keeping you dry and comfortable during exercise.
Are these shorts suitable for all sports?
Yes, the Nike Kids DriFIT Strike Shorts are designed for versatile athletic performance, suitable for sports like soccer, basketball, track and field, as well as gym workouts and general training.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the size chart and measure your child's waist and inseam. The adjustable waistband offers some flexibility, but selecting the correct size is key for optimal comfort and performance.
Can the side pockets hold a smartphone?
The side pockets are designed for small essentials like keys or a mouthguard. While a very small or slim smartphone might fit, they are not specifically sized for larger mobile devices.
What is the material of these shorts?
These shorts are made from 100% recycled polyester, blending performance with sustainability.
How should I wash these shorts to maintain their performance?
Machine wash cold with like colors and use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and tumble dry on low heat. Do not bleach or dry clean.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel tight or restrictive.
Ensure the correct size has been selected based on measurements. Adjust the elastic waistband for a more comfortable fit. The fabric is designed to be flexible, so check for any binding points.
Moisture-wicking seems ineffective.
Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners and excessive heat which can degrade the DriFIT technology. Make sure the shorts are not overly stained, as heavy stains can sometimes impact fabric performance.
Waistband feels loose.
Adjust the internal elastic waistband to the tightest setting. If the issue persists, consider if a smaller size is needed or if the elastic has lost its elasticity over time.
