Product Information
Full details
The Rab Sonic Long-Sleeve Top is designed for adult male outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable moisture management and sun coverage during high-exertion activities in hot climates. Engineered with advanced technical fabrics to keep you cool and dry, this shirt is an excellent choice for summer climbing, trail running, or hiking; however, its specialized lightweight weave is thinner than standard cotton shirts and may require extra care to avoid snagging on abrasive rock surfaces.

FAQs
Is this shirt suitable for base layering?
Yes, the thin, moisture-wicking material makes it an excellent base layer for active cold-weather sports, though it is primarily designed for high-heat activities.
Does the odor control treatment wash out?
The treatment is durable, but its effectiveness may diminish over many wash cycles. Regular, gentle cleaning helps maintain the fabric's properties.
Is the material sun protective?
While the fabric provides a physical barrier, it is not specifically rated for UPF. Use sunscreen underneath for high-exposure environments.
How should I choose the right size?
The Rab Sonic features a regular fit. Stick to your standard size for the intended athletic fit.
Can I tumble dry this top?
It is recommended to air dry the garment to protect the technical fibers and ensure the long-term integrity of the seams.
Troubleshooting
Fabric snagging on gear
Store the garment inside a laundry mesh bag when packing in a backpack with climbing gear to prevent contact with sharp edges.
Reduced wicking performance over time
Check the garment for detergent or fabric softener residue. Use a specialized sports wash to strip away build-up that may be blocking the fabric pores.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Rab Sonic Long-Sleeve Top, wash it in cold water with mild technical detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and interfere with the wicking performance of the Dryflo™ technology. Hang the garment to dry; the moisture-wicking material is designed to dry quickly without the need for high-heat machine drying. When packing for technical trips, ensure the top is kept away from sharp equipment like carabiners or crampons to avoid snags in the lightweight fabric.
