The Nike Advantage Premier Rafa Sleeveless is a minimalist design that delivers maximum cooling. Laser perforations in key sweat zones enhance breathability, and in combination with Nike Dri-FIT fabric, work as a system to keep the player comfortable. Nadal’s Nike Premier Gladiator Shorts are constructed from Dri-FIT stretch fabric to be as lightweight and fast as possible. The top and short combination lets the player start dry in challenging conditions and move easily around the court.

The Nike Premier Rafa Jacket delivers warmth in a classic silhouette but includes modern performance elements. The laminated poly-knit exterior fabric is durable and drives the warmth functionality of the jacket. A Nike Dri-FIT mesh lining ensures breathability and the bonded zip chest pockets deliver functionality, providing secure storage of small items.

ROGER FEDERER

The Nike Advantage Premier RF Polo delivers outstanding cooling performance. Nike Dri-FIT fabric pulls perspiration to the surface of the shirt where it evaporates quickly to keep the player dry and comfortable. Laser-perforated back and underarm panels provide maximum ventilation, and flat-lock seams eliminate irritation to give the player every advantage. Federer’s Nike Premier Gladiator short uses Dri-FIT fabric for superb comfort, and the 9-inch inseam provides excellent on-court coverage.
