Soft and Comfy

Originally posted on Nike

I loved the fit and feel. The green color was a bit washed out so not my favorite but kept it because it felt so great. I purchased multiple colors and each different color is made from different material (gray heather is the best). The green did pill by the bottom of the sleeves after a few washings. The weight is perfect (not too heavy - not too light)!

Great quality, smooth zipper. Love it!

Originally posted on Nike

I bought this in a size small in grey. It’s a great fit, and stylish. TTS. I like it so much I also ordered it in Light magenta. The zipper works smoothly, and the material is breathable. Recommend to buy it. Having the zipper makes it versatile and easy to u zip for a cool down on a hot day,

Great style and material, but quality control issues with the seams

Originally posted on Nike

This running top has a superb design and a very lightweight, breathable feel. Unfortunately, the stitching quality let it down. Before its first wash or wear, the seams began unraveling because they are single-stitched rather than double-stitched. I had to fix the seam by hand to keep it from coming apart completely. I really love the style, but the durability of the seams definitely needs improvement for activewear. It doesn’t justify the price at all. I am worried for long time wear.

Misses the mark!

Bring back the old Dri-fit Element. Much more comfortable for workouts! I wear the last version daily to the gym. I would buy every color if you’d bring it back. I am sure that I’m not alone!

Not the same

Originally posted on Nike

Please bring the old swift element back. These runs small and feels very heavy and i dont like how it has a “U” shape in the bottom. The old ones were so so so good, it looked very sporty and athletic and felt very light.

Okay but not it

Beautiful and soft however starts pilling after the first use and wash. For the price, you would expect a little bit more.

Short in the torso but good overall

Originally posted on Nike

Runs a bit shorter than what I would like considering that this should be a winter/colder runs top. But the material is soft and absorbing no complaints on that.

Quality lacking

Originally posted on Nike

Lots of sponsored reviews here - as someone who purchased this with my own money I would not recommend it. First one I ordered had loose threads, a hole in the sleeve, and uneven stitching throughout the garment. The quality control is majorly lacking. Fabric and fit though were good. Others have said it runs short but I thought it hit top of hip length, and I have a long torso. Medium fit TTS. Ultimately I will return since the quality being poor outweighs all positive qualities.

Favorite running shirt!

Originally posted on Nike

The Nike Swift Women's Dri-FIT UV 1/4-Zip Running Top offers everything you could want in activewear, and the colors are absolutely stunning! With vibrant options like volt, classic shades like brown, and bold hues like red, there’s something for every mood and style. The breathable, sweat-wicking material ensures comfort, while the functional zipper allows adjustable ventilation. The watch window on the long sleeves is an incredibly thoughtful feature for fitness enthusiasts. With its UV protection and thumbholes for added practicality, this top combines smart design, performance, and style flawlessly.

High hopes, short shirt

Originally posted on Nike

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a huge fan of breathable performance wear and had very high hopes for this running shirt when I got it. I will start by saying that I absolutely love the feel of the material, and the UV/UPF protection in this running shirt is a major added bonus. The style of the shirt is perfect for runs on cooler days because the neck keeps me warm without the suffocating feeling of a turtleneck, and it doesn’t rub uncomfortably at all. The material keeps me warm but also breathes, and it’s moisture-wicking, which is essential for longer workouts. The shirt functions as a breathable long sleeve and is easy to remove as a second layer when I get too hot. The finger holes are a great addition, and I’m a big fan of the watch window! As someone who believes that all running leggings should have pockets, I’m now also a firm believer that all running shirts should have watch windows – it’s so convenient. I also appreciate the reflective touches on the arms and back for added visibility during runs in low light. However, there are a few drawbacks. The sleeves are a bit long, and the shirt length feels way too short. At 5'4", it hits right at my waist with my arms at my sides, but as soon as I stretch or move my arms, it rides up, which is a major issue. I probably should have sized up to accommodate for a larger bust, but I’m still disappointed by the fit. Overall, I’m giving it a 2 out 5 stars due to the fit; it could definitely be improved – I’d love to see more length in the body of the shirt and less in the sleeves. If you’re between sizes or have a larger bust, I definitely recommend sizing up.

LOVE it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The top exceeded my expectations greatly! It is extremely comfortable. I like how the sleeves have the hole for your watch. So smart! The shirt is very thin, therefore I thought I may be cold and need a jacket in cold weather, but it amazingly held my body heat in perfectly without making me hot. I would not change a thing about it. I am normally a medium but got this in a large since I thought I might layer underneath it, but it does not run large. A medium would have been fine. I will wear this for exercising outside, but it will also be a great base layer when snowboarding.

The most comfortable running top!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always make sure to write reviews for items that work for me, just in case there’s someone contemplating purchasing it. This tops is soft like butter and super comfortable to walk, run or run errands in. One of my favorite features is that it has a hole in the sleeve for you to have your watch out if you don’t want to sacrifice the thumb holes to do so. Very genius! I would love to purchase other colors and add to my collection. Great job on this one Nike!

Worth the hype

Originally posted on Nike

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really loving the Nike running top for my hikes and runs with the colder days. The arm length is great for someone with longer arms and the material keeps you warm enough without being too hot. Truly a buttery soft feel on your skin! The thumb holes don’t pull and add something extra to the shirt. I’d buy this in multiple colors so I can wear it more often.

Buttery soft long sleeve running top

Originally posted on Nike

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The minute I took it out of the bag I was in love with how buttery soft the fabric is and it looks so high end. Very lightweight for an early morning run. Has the thumb holes which I like for runs and very quick dry fabric. My only cons are that it’s hemline at the bottom is kind of curved so doesn’t work well with tops under it (best for just a sports bra under) and need to wear with high waisted leggings for best look in my opinion. I am 5’4”around 115lb and I got small but I’d probably exchange for an xs for a tighter fit but get regular size if like looser.

Comfortable and breathable!

Originally posted on Nike

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fabric is very breathable and perfect for adding another layer when running in winter. Or as a single layer for summer. Both sleeves have watch accessibility which is super helpful and not as common as it should be with running wear! The product runs slightly large and could possibly be more fitted. Only one pocket, very small in size but very sleek in design and not noticeable.

Nice but not Nike quality

Originally posted on Nike

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I put this shirt on it felt great. The fabric was light against my skin and almost silky feeling. I usually wear a small in athletic shirts and this fit well. It may be about an inch shorter than I’d prefer. Still, a great shirt to run or walk in. The UV and wicking features are nice. The design of the shirt as a half zip is pretty standard. There seemed to be something wrong with the fit of the shoulder panel as it bunched up close to my neck. (see “wrinkle” photos) I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the peekaboo for the watch. (see “peekaboo” photos) This is my most favorite part of the shirt. So many times I’m working out and need to dig for my watch under layers of shirt. I wish all my long sleeves had this feature. I did not appreciate the zipper pocket on the left side as it chafed my skin because my arm brushed up against it. A better place would be in the in the back or direct front, or I guess the arm. Which takes me to the hand warmers…great idea but poor construction. The exposed stitching makes the shirt look cheap and poorly constructed. (see “hand warmer” photo) To me, the hand warmer construction would keep me from purchasing this shirt at the retail price listed.When I put this shirt on it felt great.

Comfortable

Originally posted on Nike

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nike Swift Women's Dri-Fit UV 1/2-Zip Running Top is great for running. This shirt fits true to size, I tried a small and felt like the only change that I would make regarding the fit would be for it to be slightly longer at the waist/hips (arms are long enough). The performance fabric is stretchy, lightweight, and really comfortable when you are moving. There is a small side pocket on the left that zips for keys, or small items (not a phone), it has thumb holes so that your hands can be partially covered in cooler weather and a slit on both wrists so that you can access a watch or tracking device without taking your hands out of the thumb holes. This is a perfect shirt for brisk AZ mornings, I would definitely recommend trying it.
