Common Q&A's:
-
What is French terry fabric and how does it differ from fleece?
French terry features a smooth outer surface with small, uncut loops on the interior, creating a lighter, more breathable fabric than traditional fleece. It offers softness and some warmth without the bulk, making these shorts suitable for year-round wear in varying temperatures.
-
Are these shorts appropriate for athletic activities or primarily for casual wear?
While designed for casual comfort and everyday versatility, the French terry construction and elastic waist accommodate light physical activity, stretching, and play. For high-intensity sports or competitive athletics, Nike's dedicated performance shorts with moisture-wicking and compression features would be more suitable.
-
How do I determine the correct size for my growing child?
Consult Nike's youth size chart using waist measurements and current clothing sizes. The elastic waistband with drawcord provides some adjustability for growth, though ordering current size typically ensures the intended fit rather than sizing up significantly.
