Customer Reviews Nike Element 1/2 Zip Top

I am quite disappointed in the style and fabric changes that have been made in this garment vs the Nike Dry-Fit tops of a couple of years ago, which have been favorites in my closet. The designers have eliminated the nice "V" side seam panels that gave the top a more tapered fit and look. They've added long, ribbed cuffs, a bit higher collar, a white luminescent stripe on the center back, and notches on the sides of the square hem. The fabric now is thinner than before, and has a sheen to it. Others may appreciate these changes. However, I'll be returning the tops as they are now totally runner/athletic looking, and less useful to me for every day wear.

I have really enjoyed the Nike 1/2 zip top in previous years. They have made changes to the style that I do not like. Higher collar, wide body but tight arms. The have put a new cuff on the shirt that feels binding. To me it runs alot larger in the body and not very attractive fit.

Garbage! I’m an outdoor runner in nj - so I buy 4 seasons of gear and have for many years. I’m very familiar with this very top of years past - the reviews are correct. This isn’t made nearly as well as it used to be - flimsy and overly thin with a price set for warmth. Quality seems to be an increasing problem everywhere however, on this one, definitely look elsewhere.

The shirt has drop shoulders, which makes it look like the shirt is too big. And it's shorter than the old style, which I don't think is flattering, especially with super long sleeves. I look like an orangutan with no shoulders.

The fit on this is weird. The torso was a very relaxed and the sleeves were super tight. Just not flattering on me.

Returned this item because it’s not the same fabric as previous Element 1/2 Zip Tops. Much thinner, and won’t keep me warm.

I dislike it when Nike updates their style when there was nothing wrong with the original. I’m not a fan of the ribbed cuffs, they removed the stitching on the back, and the sides have these exaggerated slits. The only good thing is the color selection.

Nice

This is one of my favorite tops. It’s casual, comfortable, and sporty. I can wear it to work out and to run errands. The size is true.

I love this too for running outside. Half zip allows me to adjust as I warm up I’m my runs without overheating

Love the feel of this top! Very comfy, and great for walks outside.

nice fabric, super soft, sleeves are long but can be folded and cuffed easily

Love this top, definitely a go to for Fall!

Super soft fabric. The size runs large. I got my regular size small, and the body is roomy but the cuffs are snug. I am 5’5”, 115 lbs.

This top is really tight. It is only useful for me to work out in. I can't wear it just around the house b/c it is tight. Perfect for working out.

I ordered a medium but it was very wide in the mid section. I have a bike black 1/2 zip in medium from years ago but this newer version runs big. I would get a small size next time.

Loved this top the first time I wore it. However, after washing it once and not drying it, but hanging to dry it was all warped and no longer fit properly. Not sure if it was a dud but almost unwearable now.
