Great running top for colder days. Looks great even worn as an everyday fleece.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pullover was lightweight yet did the job keeping me warm while working in the later hours of the day outside. It was perfect for those 50-60 degree days that you start to have in the Fall months when the sun starts setting earlier. Definitely will look to use again this spring as it starts to warm up and hoodies become a little too heavy. Would say product ran a little small in length both in arms and torso but overall good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been averaging about 40 miles run a week this winter. This fleece top has been a game changer. It’s incredibly warm and comfortable. I don’t have to wear so many layers anymore. I’m able to run with this and just another layer underneath. I’ve run in temperatures of almost 10° and still helped my body stay warm and I don’t feel any effects of the wind. Great top!

Very comfortable and doing a great job as a liner. Where I am at the temperature drops and this is a great liner to where under my jacket or vest.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The two-tone style with fleece and nylon makes this Nike 1-4-Zip stand apart from other outdoor running tops I’ve worn. I love it for outdoor runs/hikes in cooler fall temperatures, but it’s cozy and stylish enough for casual wear too. It mostly fits true to size — I’m 6’3” and the arm length is perfect, but I personally prefer my tops a little longer in the body. I like that it’s roomy enough for a layer or two underneath in colder settings. I wish the front pocket had zippers to store stuff on the move, but overall it’s super comfortable and functional so I highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Nike Trail Polartec® Men's 1/4-Zip Fleece Running Top is awesome. When I first received it I used it to just go out. It feels very light and comfortable. Best of all it was warm. Here in Jersey the weather is starting to just get a but colder and I used it with just a t-shirt under and I was still warm and comfortable. I haven't ran with it yet. But I have no doubt it will be able to keep me warm once I start running outdoors. I got a small. It fits great, not too tight not to loose. It's just right..

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been wearing this jacket constantly since I got it- everywhere from hiking trails, to neighborhood walks, to the grocery store. I've found it's an excellent jacket for pretty much any situation! Wearability: The jacket is surprisingly light, especially considering how warm it keeps me. I've been super comfortable wearing it over a t-shirt in various conditions- from warm late summer evenings (65-70 degrees) to the current cool fall weather (down to 40-50 degrees). For outdoor activities (like when I wear it hiking), the jacket doesn't restrict my movement or mobility at all. I'm looking forward to seeing how it does through the midwest winter! Materials: The fleece material on the torso and arms is really comfortable and soft, even worked well in a light drizzle while remaining breathable. The material from shoulder to wrist is more sturdy and helps with wind resistance. I felt well-insulated, but not so much that I was constantly sweating. In my opinion, very good quality and well-thought out in its design. Fit: I'm not the most in-shape person, but this jacket is comfortable throughout, and I think it makes me look more athletic than I am. It fits true to size versus my other Nike gear and doesn't cramp my torso/stomach/arms. Cons: Since it's fleece, pet hair does tend to stick to this jacket. Make sure you check it quick before you leave the house or you may bring your furry friends with you. I have the black jacket, which probably makes pet hair more noticeable than the other colors. Over all, super happy with this jacket and I'm looking forward to wearing it more!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nike Trail Polartec Quarter Zip would not be best suited as a single layer to wear while outdoor running, as the fleece material can be uncomfortable on contact with sweat while exercising. However, when used with a base layer such as a Nike Pro long sleeve, the product provides comfort in the outdoor elements. In regard to the fit, it is very loose fitting, and would not be the ideal slimmer fit that I tend to prefer when exercising, but is large enough to even throw on a hoodie as a base layer underneath. That being said, this product serves best as a top layer for outdoor exercise, and would also be suitable for everyday wear, but its boxy fit does not necessarily match my style preference.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In all, the Nike Trail Polartec 1/4 zip fleece running top was both stylish and primarily comfortable. I don’t typically like fleece tops as they run bulky with a lack of shape however, this top fit nicely and gave my body some shape. The fleece was soft and length of the top and sleeves was just right for me (5,9 - 190 pounds). Style wise, the top was both sporty yet passable as an a casual top as well in the black and grey color combo. If you’re looking for a stylish and functional top that will also keep you warm, this would be it. My only complain is for the inside stitching on the sleeve design. The seems could be felt when moving my arms. While this is not a deal breaker and didn’t affect my performance while running, I found it somewhat bothersome and distracting. Overall the top is a solid top and one that I would wear for multiple occasions.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Nike Trail Polartec® Men's 1/4-Zip Fleece Running Top, and it has exceeded my expectations. The lightweight design makes it perfect for long runs without feeling weighed down. It absorbs sweat effectively, keeping me dry throughout my workout, and the breathable fabric ensures I stay cool even during intense sessions. Additionally, the fit is very comfortable, providing just the right amount of stretch without restricting movement. Overall, it's a fantastic choice for both trail and everyday running. Highly recommend! Pros: - Lightweight: Perfect for long runs and outdoor activities without feeling bulky. - Sweat Absorption: Effectively wicks moisture, keeping me dry. - Breathable Fabric: Great ventilation helps prevent overheating. - Comfortable Fit: The material has a soft feel and moves well with the body. Cons: - Limited Warmth: It’s better suited for mild weather—might not be warm enough on very cold days without layering. - No Thumbholes: Some runners may miss the extra feature for better sleeve stability. - Zipper Irritation: The zipper can feel a bit stiff around the neck if not positioned right. Overall, it's an excellent top, especially for cool-to-mild weather, but those looking for a thicker, all-weather solution may need to layer up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I typically wear an XL, and this 1/4-Zip fit as expected. As someone who is tall, I appreciate the long arms. It allows me to move without fear of the sleeves riding up. The fleece is very soft. I love the design as it meshes function with a visually appealing look. A waterproof fabric runs continuously from the outer arms up to cover your shoulders and upper back. A thinner, breathable fabric runs between the inner arms and upper torso. The breathable fabric also lines the inner half of the kangaroo pocket. A kangaroo pocket is a must for all my 1/4-Zips, and the soft fleece lines the outer half of this one. Lastly, the zipper feels high quality and should last. I’m very happy with this 1/4-Zip, and will probably add another in a different color. The only drawback is there's no zippered pocket to secure something during a run. If that’s not a concern for you, this is an excellent option.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Feels like a fleece but still lightweight. Material vented in the sleeves provides aerodynamic feel when running or playing sports. No hood attached so need to have a warm weather hat for cold activities.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this ¼ zip! It’s comfortable, fits well, and has good ventilation. It’s perfect for running in chilly weather, and can also be used as a nice warmup top before early morning games. It’s also a really solid mid-layer when I’m coaching on the sidelines. The front pocket is a bonus too. My only issue is it gets too hot when the weather warms up. It’s best for 40 degree days as the material is high quality and cozy for colder temperatures.
