5 Key Styles of Nike Basketball Hoodies
1. Nike Dri-FIT Basketball Hoodies
For performance on the court, a basketball hoodie made from moisture-wicking materials is essential. Once the body is warmed up, players don't want to be weighed down by a damp and sweaty basketball hoodie.
Nike Dri-FIT material helps disperse moisture across the surface of the fabric for quick evaporation, helping keep basketball players cool and dry once they work up a sweat.
Many Nike Basketball hoodies are constructed with Nike Dri-FIT Technology, including classic fleece silhouettes and ultra-soft, French terry styles.

For outdoor pick-up games in chilly conditions, look for a hoodie made with Nike Therma-FIT Technology. This fabric is engineered to help regulate body heat and keep players warm without overheating.
The Nike Therma-FIT ADV APS hoodie, for example, serves as a lightweight and breathable layer that packs in warmth, and it features side zips that players can unzip to increase ventilation once the game heats up.
