Product Information
Full details
The Rab Force Tee is a high-performance, lightweight technical shirt designed for active men who need reliable sun protection and moisture management during intense outdoor pursuits. Engineered with breathable Dryflo Solar fabric, this shirt excels at moving sweat away from the skin, making it an essential layer for hikers, climbers, and mountaineers operating in exposed environments. While it offers superior comfort and odor resistance, users should note that the lightweight fabric is optimized for breathability rather than heavy-duty abrasion resistance against rough rock surfaces.

FAQs
Is this shirt suitable for running?
Yes, the moisture-wicking properties and flat seams make it excellent for high-exertion activities like trail running.
Does the UPF protection wash out?
The UPF 40+ rating is built into the fabric construction, not just a topical coating, so it will remain effective throughout the life of the garment.
Can I wear this under a harness?
Absolutely. The low-profile flat seams are designed to be comfortable under a harness and backpack straps.
How should I store this for long-term use?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the fabric and the anti-odour treatment.
Is the fit true to size?
The Rab Force Tee features a relaxed fit. If you prefer a more athletic, skin-tight base layer fit, you may consider sizing down.
Troubleshooting
Fabric snagging
Avoid contact with sharp rocks or thorns; if a minor snag occurs, trim the thread carefully to prevent further fraying.
Lingering odors after heavy use
Ensure the garment is washed with an appropriate technical detergent to fully strip oils from the fabric fibers, which can interfere with the anti-odour treatment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Rab Force Tee, follow these care instructions:
