Product Information
Full details
The Rab Sonic Tee is designed for adult males engaged in mountain running, fast hiking, and multi-day expeditions. Its key benefit is providing lightweight, breathable comfort and staying fresh over extended periods due to its odour control treatment. A minor caveat is its regular fit, which may not suit those preferring a very slim profile. This t-shirt features Dryflo™ Air fabric for rapid wicking and drying, raglan sleeves for full arm mobility, and comfortable micro-active seams.

FAQs
What type of activities is the Rab Sonic Tee best suited for?
It's ideal for high-output activities like mountain running, fast hiking, trail running, and multi-day expeditions, particularly in warmer conditions.
How does the odour control treatment work?
The treatment is embedded within the fabric fibers to inhibit the growth of odour-causing bacteria, helping the shirt stay fresh for longer periods.
Is this t-shirt suitable for cold weather?
While it can be used as a base layer in cooler weather, its primary design is for warmer conditions or high-intensity activities where breathability is key. For very cold weather, layering with insulating pieces is recommended.
What is the weight of the Rab Sonic Tee?
The t-shirt weighs approximately 96 grams for a size Medium.
Can I wear this t-shirt for everyday casual use?
Yes, while optimized for performance, its comfortable fit and quick-drying properties make it suitable for casual wear, especially in active lifestyles.
How durable is the Dryflo™ Air fabric?
The fabric is lightweight, designed for breathability and quick drying. For extremely abrasive activities, heavier-duty materials might offer more resilience, but for its intended use, it provides adequate durability.
Troubleshooting
Tee feels less breathable than expected
Ensure the fabric is clean. Residue from detergents or body oils can reduce breathability. Wash with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly.
Odour control treatment seems less effective
Over time, the effectiveness of odour treatments can diminish. Proper washing after each use (when possible) will help prolong its effectiveness. Avoid prolonged storage without washing.
Seams are causing irritation
While designed to be comfortable, individual sensitivity varies. Ensure the garment is properly sized. If irritation persists, consider an alternative base layer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Rab Sonic Tee requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the package. It is compatible with standard outdoor apparel layering systems. To care for your Sonic Tee and maintain its performance:
- Washing: Machine wash warm (40°C) using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impede the wicking and breathability of the fabric.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. The fabric's quick-drying nature means it will be ready to wear again quickly.
- Ironing: Do not iron. The fabric is designed to resist wrinkling.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Its packability makes it easy to store when not in use.
