Sondico Core Base Long Sleeve - Red

A base layer is designed to be worn directly against the skin to regulate body temperature, efficiently wick away sweat, and provide comfort during physical activity. It helps keep you dry and comfortable by managing moisture.

Yes, while designed as a base layer for layering, it can certainly be worn on its own for training sessions or runs, especially in milder conditions. Its breathability and sweat-wicking properties are effective even when worn as a single layer.

Optivent technology is strategically engineered to maximize airflow through the fabric. This enhanced ventilation helps to dissipate heat and moisture vapor, keeping you cooler and drier, and improving overall comfort during intense activity.

While it provides a foundational layer of insulation, its primary function focuses on moisture management and breathability. For very cold weather, it is most effective when used as part of a layering system, with additional insulating layers worn over it to trap warmth.

The Sondico Core Base Long Sleeve is machine washable. Wash with similar colors on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning. To preserve the fabric's performance and safety, it's crucial to keep it away from fire.

The shell of the base layer is composed of 92% Polyester and 8% Lycra (for Red variants; Grey Marl is 90% Polyester / 10% Lycra), while the mesh components are 82% Polyester and 18% Elastane. This blend provides durability, stretch, and optimal moisture management.

With proper care, the rubberised grip hem should maintain its effectiveness for a long time. To ensure its longevity, avoid harsh chemicals or high heat during washing and drying, as these can degrade the material.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The LYCRA® fibre is designed for maximum freedom of movement, so discomfort may indicate an incorrect fit. Refer to a size guide if available.

First, ensure the garment is clean and free of any fabric softener residue, which can impede wicking properties. Also, confirm you are not wearing another non-wicking layer directly underneath it. For optimal performance, the base layer should be worn directly against the skin.

Check that the rubberised grip hem is positioned correctly on your hips or waist. If the issue persists, a different size might be needed to ensure a snug but comfortable fit that leverages the grip effectively.

Verify that the garment is clean, as dirt or residue can affect breathability. Ensure you are not wearing it in extremely humid conditions where the air is already saturated, which can impact evaporative cooling.
