Nike Universa

This Nike hooded long sleeve is really comfortable, smooth and stretchy. It keeps me cooler than other clothes when I’m on the treadmill. The design is nice and sleek. I like how cooling the material is as it is getting warmer. There’s nothing I would change about it as the material is cooling and not too snug.

Wanted to love this one, but the fit wasn’t really for me. I think it runs a little big if you wanted a more fitted look, so I’d suggest sizing down. The feel is awesome though, the fabric is super smooth and soft. The stitch work is great, this piece should last really long.

I didn’t expect to love this top as much as I do. It’s that perfect in-between piece as something I can throw on for a workout, but also wear running errands or grabbing lunch. The fit is slim and super flattering without feeling tight or restrictive. I’ve even layered it under a jacket on chillier days, and it still looks sleek. The hood and thumbholes give it that “athletic but put-together” vibe, and the color (I got the pink one) is even prettier in person. The quality really stands out. The fabric feels smooth and substantial but not too thin or see-through like some active tops. It’s soft but still holds its shape, and even after a few washes, it hasn’t pilled or stretched out. The Dri-FIT material actually does what it promises; it wicks sweat really well and dries fast, so I don’t feel gross after a workout. You can tell there was some thought put into the design with everything from the stitching to the seams feeling intentional. It also can absorb them transition between activities cleanly. I am a city warrior, so it’s ability to play nice between heavy activity and errand-running is a huge plus. I own plenty of hoodies and workout tops from other brands like Lululemon and Athleta, but this one honestly beats a lot of them in versatility. Most of my others are either too casual or too sporty, but this strikes a nice balance. It looks good with leggings and jeans, cos-playing between HIIT leader and corporate break’er. For the price, it provides great value compared to similar styles. If you’re looking for something you can wear literally anywhere including gym, running errands, and even travel, this is a fantastic option piece. Note: the sizing on this hoodie can be a bit off-putting. My rating is a 4-star because this hoodie does run a bit smaller. I am a true sz. XS, and this hoodie in a S is a bit snug. I would HIGHLY recommend trying it on (or ordering a size up to compensate for vanity approach). Other than this, you’ll likely love it!
