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