Product Information
Full details
The Rab Sonic Long-Sleeve Top is engineered for male outdoor enthusiasts engaging in fast-paced activities like mountain running and strenuous hiking. Its core benefit lies in the specialized Dryflo Air fabric, which provides exceptional moisture management and odor control, keeping you dry and fresh during high-output movement. While its lightweight construction is perfect for technical layering, it is designed for athletic performance and may feel too thin or fragile for rugged bushwhacking or heavy abrasive use.

FAQs
Is this top suitable for winter hiking?
Yes, it works well as a base layer in cooler conditions, provided you layer it under appropriate insulation.
Can I wear this with a heavy backpack?
Yes, the microactive seams are designed to be low-bulk, which reduces the chance of irritation under pack straps.
Does the fabric provide UV protection?
While the fabric is dense, it is primarily designed for breathability and moisture management rather than specific UV certification.
How should I wash this garment?
Machine wash cold with mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
Is the fit true to size?
The Rab Sonic features a regular fit, generally consistent with standard men's sizing for athletic gear.
Troubleshooting
Garment retaining odor after normal washing
Ensure you are not using fabric softener and consider a technical sports wash to deep-clean the synthetic fibers.
Visible snag or pull in fabric
Avoid cutting the thread. Use a needle to gently pull the snag through to the inside of the garment to prevent it from getting larger.

- Effective odor control keeps the garment fresh longer

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Rab Sonic Long-Sleeve Top, wash it in cold water using a technical fabric detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the synthetic fibers and compromise the moisture-wicking and odor-control properties of the Dryflo Air fabric. Always hang dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area rather than using a tumble dryer, which can damage the fine fibers and seams. This top is compatible with most technical layering systems and pairs well with Rab's range of active mid-layers and waterproof shells.
