Sondico Long Sleeved Core Base Layer Junior - Grey

A base layer is a garment worn directly against the skin. It's designed to regulate body temperature by wicking away sweat, keeping your child dry and comfortable during physical activity. This helps prevent them from getting cold when resting or overheating during intense exercise.

This base layer is ideal for any training sessions or match days where your child will be active. It's particularly useful in cooler weather for warmth, or in warmer conditions to help manage sweat and keep them cool, thanks to its breathable Optivent technology.

The Sondico Long Sleeved Core Base Layer features a compression fit, meaning it should feel snug. To ensure the best fit, refer to the sizing guide provided by the retailer. It should fit tightly without being uncomfortable or restricting movement.

While it can technically be worn on its own, its primary purpose is as a base layer, meaning it's designed to be worn under other sports attire like jerseys or training tops. This layering optimizes its thermal regulation and wicking benefits.

It is machine washable. Always follow the specific instructions on the care label attached to the garment. Generally, wash with similar colors on a gentle cycle, avoid bleach and fabric softeners, and air dry or tumble dry on low heat to preserve the fabric's elasticity and wicking properties. Keep away from fire.

Optivent technology is designed to enhance breathability. It refers to the fabric's ability to allow air to circulate freely and effectively wick moisture (sweat) away from the skin, helping to keep your child cool, dry, and comfortable during exercise.

LYCRA® fibre is incorporated to provide long-lasting comfort and exceptional freedom of movement. It gives the fabric its stretch and shape retention, ensuring the base layer moves with your child's body without restricting their athletic performance.

Yes, its design focusing on comfort, breathability, and freedom of movement makes it suitable for a wide range of sports and activities where young athletes need support and temperature regulation, such as football, rugby, running, and general athletic training.

A compression fit is designed to be snug, but it should not restrict breathing or movement. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on your child's measurements. If it feels overly restrictive, a larger size might be more appropriate.

While Optivent technology promotes breathability, excessive sweating can still occur. Ensure your child isn't wearing too many layers over the base layer. Also, verify that the garment is clean, as residue from detergents or fabric softeners can sometimes affect wicking properties. Make sure it's machine washed according to care label.

The elastic hem is designed to prevent this. Check if the base layer is tucked into shorts or trousers, which can help keep it in place. If the issue persists, the size might be too small, causing it to stretch and retract more than intended.

This can often be caused by improper washing or drying. Always follow the machine washable instructions on the care label. Avoid using harsh detergents, bleach, or high heat drying, which can damage Lycra fibers and compromise the garment's fit and performance.
