I think some spots would be considered wear and tear. When I purchased my 21st century windrunner new, it had tiny spots of 3M missing. Then after about two washes, the sleeves were stripped of 3M. I sent it to Nike and they gave me a voucher.
You can do it online or call. I prefer calling, if you're real polite to them, I feel you have a better chance unless your stuff looks intentionally jacked.
heres what mine looks like today with the flash. I've washed the thing ONCE. Both sleeves are white basically up to the mid bicep.
If you own one, do not wash it in the machine. I guess you can just spray it with a hose or something.
The exact thing happened to mine today. I washed it in a bag on low spin. Came out and the sleeves are destroyed. I don't know if I can send it to Nike though, since it was technically purchased from a UK site. Don't they only warranty products purchased in the US?
man, I got a tony hole in my black trainers due to going sockless and my big toe nail getting long. just wanted to whine.
also, nobody cares if you prefer padded to unpadded. stop posting about it.
The Tech Pant sweats are super tapered. I usually wear a S-M, I might buy a L or XL. Have to go back this weekend to try on the XL size. If you have big calves, it looks a little strange.
