FAQs
What is Tech Fleece made of?
Nike Tech Fleece is typically a three-layer construction: a smooth, breathable layer on the outside, a foam layer in the middle for insulation, and a soft, brushed-back layer on the inside for comfort. This specific model uses a double-sided spacer fabric.
Is this hoodie suitable for very cold weather?
It provides excellent warmth for its weight and is suitable for cool to moderately cold weather, especially as a layering piece. For extreme cold, you might need to add heavier outerwear.
How do I know if I ordered the correct size?
The hoodie is designed for a standard adult male fit. Refer to Nike's sizing chart for measurements and compare them to your own. This 'M' size corresponds to a Medium fit.
Can I wear this for athletic activities?
While comfortable and breathable, Tech Fleece is primarily designed for casual wear and moderate activity. For intense workouts, dedicated athletic apparel might be more suitable due to enhanced moisture-wicking properties.
What is the benefit of the zipped arm pocket?
The zipped pocket on the left arm provides a secure place to store small, essential items like keys, cards, or earbuds, preventing them from falling out during movement.
How does this hoodie compare to regular fleece hoodies?
Nike Tech Fleece offers superior warmth-to-weight ratio compared to traditional fleece, providing more insulation without the added bulk. It also tends to have a smoother, more modern appearance.
What other colors or styles are available?
Nike offers Tech Fleece hoodies in various colors and styles, including different zip-up designs and crewneck options. This guide specifically covers the black, full-zip model in size M.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently pull the zipper up and down several times. If still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a bit of wax to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Fabric pilling after washing.
This can occur with fleece materials. To minimize pilling, wash the hoodie inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid high heat drying and refrain from washing with abrasive items like denim.
Hoodie feels too tight or restrictive.
The Tech Fleece fit is generally regular. If you prefer a looser feel for layering or comfort, consider purchasing the next size up.
Color fading over time.
Wash the hoodie inside out in cold water. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying. Use a detergent designed for dark colors.
