FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the Rab Sonic Tee?
The Rab Sonic Tee is designed as a highly breathable, sweat-wicking base layer for women engaging in high-output aerobic activities in cooler conditions.
How does the Dryflo™ Air fabric work?
Dryflo™ Air fabric uses a lightweight single jersey with a subtle mesh structure to efficiently pull moisture away from the skin, allowing it to evaporate quickly and keeping you cool and dry.
Is this tee suitable for very cold weather?
It's designed for high output in cooler conditions. For very cold weather, it functions best as a base layer, to be worn under additional insulating layers like fleece or a down jacket.
How does the odor control treatment function?
The treatment is integrated into the fabric fibers to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria, helping the garment stay fresh for longer, especially during multi-day use.
What does 'Microactive seams' mean?
Microactive seams are specially constructed to be flat and stretchy, providing comfort against the skin and allowing for maximum mobility without irritation during intense activity.
Can I wear this tee for casual hiking?
Yes, its comfort and quick-drying properties make it suitable for casual hiking as well, especially in warmer weather or when expecting to sweat.
What is the weight of the Rab Sonic Tee?
The Rab Sonic Tee weighs approximately 69g (2.4oz) for a UK size 10.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels less breathable after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can clog the fabric's pores and reduce breathability. Rinse thoroughly.
Seams feel uncomfortable or irritating
The Microactive seams are designed for comfort. Ensure the garment is the correct size. If irritation persists, check for any trapped debris or rough edges inside the garment.
Odor control seems less effective over time
While the treatment is durable, its effectiveness can diminish with extreme wear or improper washing. Follow care instructions carefully. Consider a specialized technical wash if odor issues persist.
