Sondico Base Core Long Sleeve - Red

Optivent ventilation technology is designed to maximize airflow, ensuring superior breathability and helping to keep you dry and comfortable during physical activity by wicking away moisture.

LYCRA® fibre is integrated to provide exceptional elasticity, ensuring lasting comfort and significant freedom of movement, allowing the base layer to move with your body during any activity.

This base layer is ideal for 'cooler match days' and 'early morning runs,' suggesting it's best for moderate cold conditions, not extreme sub-zero temperatures. For very cold weather, it can be an effective first layer, but additional insulating layers would be recommended.

Yes, the Sondico Base Core Long Sleeve is machine washable. Please follow the care instructions provided on the garment label for best results, avoiding high heat and harsh chemicals.

The shell is typically 92% Polyester and 8% Lycra (90% Polyester / 10% Lycra for Grey Marl variants), with a mesh made of 82% Polyester and 18% Elastane. These materials are chosen for their performance attributes like breathability and stretch.

The rubberised grip hem is a key feature designed to keep the base layer securely in place during activity, preventing it from riding up or shifting, which helps maintain comfort and focus.

Ensure you have the correct size; a snug fit is important for the rubberised grip hem to function effectively. Adjust the hem before activity to sit properly.

Verify that you are wearing it as a base layer, and avoid layering too heavily over it in milder conditions. The Optivent technology is designed for airflow, so ensure outer layers are also breathable. Consider the ambient temperature; it's designed for cooler, not hot, conditions.

Review washing instructions: machine washable, but avoid high heat drying or harsh chemicals. Ensure it's kept away from fire sources as directed.

While designed for a snug fit due to LYCRA® fibre, ensure the size is appropriate for your body. If it feels excessively tight, consider trying a larger size. Allow a few wears for the material to adapt slightly to your body shape.
