FAQs

What is the purpose of a base layer?

A base layer is worn directly against the skin to regulate body temperature. It wicks sweat away to keep you dry and comfortable, and provides light compression for muscle support, whether it's cold or warm.

How should the Sondico Base Layer fit a junior athlete?

It should have a 'compression fit,' meaning it's snug and close to the body, but not restrictive. It should allow full freedom of movement without feeling tight or digging into the skin. Refer to the size guide to ensure the correct age-based size is chosen.

Can this base layer be worn as a standalone top?

While it can be worn alone, it is primarily designed to function as an underlayer to maximize its moisture-wicking and thermal regulation properties. Wearing it under another layer is recommended for optimal performance.

What does Optivent technology do?

Optivent technology refers to specialized fabric construction and mesh panels that enhance breathability and promote airflow. This helps to quickly evaporate sweat, keeping the wearer cool and dry during intense physical activity.

How do I wash and care for this base layer?

Machine wash according to the care label, typically in cool or warm water with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners as they can impair the fabric's wicking ability. Air drying is recommended, or tumble dry on a low heat setting. Always keep it away from fire.

Is the material durable for active kids?

Yes, the blend of Polyester and LYCRA® fibre is chosen for its durability and elasticity, designed to withstand the rigors of sports and frequent washing while maintaining its shape and performance.

Troubleshooting

Base layer feels too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the child's age group and typical clothing size. While it's a compression fit, it shouldn't restrict movement or cause discomfort. If it does, consider trying the next size up or confirming measurements with a sizing guide.

Base layer isn't effectively wicking sweat or feels damp.

Check if the base layer is being worn directly against the skin; layering too many items underneath can hinder its wicking properties. Also, ensure it's been washed correctly without fabric softener, which can build up and reduce breathability.

Garment is riding up during activity.

The elastic hem is designed to prevent this. Check if the base layer is the correct size; a size that is too small or too large might not sit properly. Ensure it's pulled down fully before activity.

Experiencing skin irritation or chafing.

The flat lock seams are designed to prevent chafing. Ensure the base layer is clean before wearing. If irritation persists, check for any detergent residue from washing or consider if there might be a sensitivity to the synthetic materials.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances performance and comfort with compression fit and freedom of movement.
  • Excellent breathability and moisture-wicking thanks to Optivent technology and mesh panels.
  • Durable and comfortable for prolonged wear due to LYCRA® fibre and flat lock seams.
  • Secure fit with an elastic hem prevents garment displacement during activity.
  • Lightweight design prevents overheating and allows for unhindered movement.

Cons

  • Compression fit may not be preferred by all children; accurate sizing is crucial.
  • Requires specific care (machine washable, but 'according to care label').
  • Synthetic material may not be suitable for those with sensitivities to polyester/lycra.
  • Needs to be kept away from fire due to material composition.

Getting the most out of your Sondico Long Sleeved Core Base Layer Junior involves proper initial fitting, understanding its compatibility, and following care instructions.

Setup & Fit

  1. Choose the Right Size: The base layer is designed for a 'true to size' fit, offering compression. Refer to the size guide to select the appropriate age group (e.g., 5-6, 7-8, 9-10) for your child. A proper compression fit should feel snug but not restrictive, allowing full range of motion.
  2. Wear as a Base Layer: This garment is intended to be worn directly against the skin, underneath other sportswear. This maximizes its moisture-wicking and compression benefits.

Compatibility

  • Activity: Ideal for a wide range of sports and activities including football, rugby, running, and general training.
  • Layering: Compatible with jerseys, training tops, jackets, and other athletic wear as an underlayer.
  • Climate: Suitable for varying conditions; provides warmth in cooler weather and aids in cooling by wicking sweat in milder temperatures.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your base layer:

  1. Machine Wash: Wash according to the care label. Typically, this means a cool or warm wash cycle.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the fabric's properties.
  3. Avoid Fabric Softener: Fabric softeners can clog the fibers of technical fabrics, reducing their moisture-wicking capabilities.
  4. Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If using a dryer, use a low heat setting to prevent damage to the elastic fibers.
  5. Ironing: Avoid ironing if possible. If necessary, use a very low heat setting and do not iron directly on any branding.
  6. Safety: Always keep away from fire. The synthetic materials can be flammable.
