Sondico Long Sleeved Core Base Layer Junior - White

A base layer is worn directly against the skin to regulate body temperature, wick away sweat, and provide comfort during physical activity. It helps keep the wearer dry and comfortable in various weather conditions.

Optivent technology, combined with strategically placed mesh panels, significantly enhances airflow and breathability. This allows heat and moisture to escape efficiently, helping to keep the child cool and dry even during intense exercise.

Yes, its design focusing on freedom of movement, breathability, and comfort makes it highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of sports and athletic activities where a performance base layer is beneficial.

The shell is primarily composed of 92% Polyester and 8% Lycra (or 90% Polyester / 10% Lycra for M.Grey variants), while the mesh panels consist of 82% Polyester and 18% Elastane.

While it is machine washable, it's generally recommended to air dry base layers with Lycra/Elastane to preserve their elasticity and shape. If machine drying is necessary, use a very low heat setting and check the specific care label for detailed instructions.

This is a standard safety warning for garments made from synthetic materials like polyester and Lycra. These materials can melt or ignite if exposed to open flames or high heat sources, potentially causing serious burns.

The product is designed for a 'regular fit' and is 'true to size'. It is best to select the size that corresponds to your child's age group or measurements. If your child is between sizes, consider their preference for a slightly snugger compression fit or a more relaxed feel.

Ensure the correct size is chosen for the child. While designed for a compression fit, it should not be overly tight or limit movement. Check for correct orientation, ensuring flat lock seams are not twisted or causing pressure points. Refer to the size guide if unsure.

Verify the ambient temperature and the intensity of the activity. While highly breathable, in very hot conditions or during extreme exertion, any layer can contribute to warmth. Ensure other layers worn over it are also breathable. Check that the base layer is clean, as residue can reduce its moisture-wicking and breathability.

Always follow the care label instructions precisely. Wash at the recommended temperature (typically cool water) and avoid harsh detergents or high heat drying, which can damage the Lycra and Elastane fibres crucial for elasticity and shape retention. Air drying is often best.

Although designed with flat lock seams to prevent chafing, ensure the base layer is worn smoothly without wrinkles or bunched areas. Check for any tags that might be causing irritation; if so, carefully remove them. Ensure the size is not too small, which could cause excessive rubbing.
