Nike Tech Fleece Sizing: How Does the Nike Tech Fleece Fit?

26 Jul 23, 1:45 PM•Jack Strong

Releasing in 2013 as part of Nike's Tech Pack collection, the Tech Fleece has since become one of Nike brand's most revered apparel styles in the UK and beyond. As a day-to-day uniform for many, the Tech Fleece has become synonymous with British culture due to its range of iconic silhouettes, comfort and versatility through the seasons.

Despite its everyday wearability, the Tech Fleece range was actually first designed with performance in mind. Each piece is constructed from a special blend of cotton and polyester, providing lightweight comfort and breathability throughout wear. Additionally, the fabric features sweat-wicking properties to ensure its wearer stays dry and warm.

Given that the Tech Fleece trend isn't exactly going anywhere anytime soon, we here at The Sole Supplier thought we would answer all your questions on the subject! From how each piece fits to general tips and tricks, we've got you covered, so keep reading ahead for more!

What Are the Key Features of the Nike Tech Fleece?

  • Lightweight construction - To ensure maximum comfort for its wearer, Nike Tech Fleeces often sport a lightweight construction.
  • Breathability - Since the Tech Fleece was created with performance in mind, the construction offers a degree of breathability to ensure temperature regulation.
  • Versatility - Whether you're on the sofa, in the gym, or even making your commute, the Nike Tech Fleece is an ideal choice.

Are There Different Types of Nike Tech Fleece?

When most people think of the words "Tech Fleece," they're often picturing the classic tracksuit jacket and pants set, but many might be surprised to learn there are more pieces to the puzzle. In the Tech Fleece range, you'll naturally find tracksuit tops and matching bottoms, but with the addition of crewneck sweatshirts, T-Shirts, and shorts.

There are multiple weights featured in the Tech Fleece selection, also. For instance, the "winterised" versions offer a heavier and more insulated version of the regular pieces, so just be aware before you buy!

How Do Nike Tech Fleece Pieces Fit?

Typically, Nike Tech Fleeces boast a slim-fitting silhouette, designed to fit snugly but not be too tight to the degree where movement is restricted. Regular Tech Fleece Joggers will also sport a roomy thigh area, giving way to a steep taper towards the cuff.

To put it simply, we would recommend purchasing your regular size in Tech Fleece apparel if you are looking to replicate the intended fit. If you happen to plan on layering up underneath your Tech Fleece for the winter, it might be worth getting a size up.

A word of warning for those looking to purchase some of the earlier Tech Fleece pieces: sizes were typically a lot tighter in the beginning, so make sure to size up to avoid those skin-tight looks.

How Do NOCTA x Nike Tech Fleece Pieces Fit?

If you're a fan of Drake or his apparel brand NOCTA, you might have noticed a collaborative Tech Fleece collection is on the way! One of the biggest distinctions between this collection and the regular Tech Fleece line is the fact the silhouette is now more relaxed in appearance.

Sporting a baggier fit, the NOCTA x Nike Tech Fleece line is a lot looser. By all appearances, the jacket appears to be slightly roomier and boxier, but the bottoms have a completely different fit. Arriving with a relaxed, straight leg as opposed to their regular taper and cuff, the joggers are a completely different silhouette from their predecessor.

Now before any of you size down in an attempt to alleviate some of this new bagginess, be aware that's how the new pieces are intended to be worn! If you size down, you run the risk of making other areas tighter than you might expect, so keep to your regular size and embrace the more relaxed fit!
