Product Information

Full details

The Rab Force Long Sleeve Tee is designed for female hikers, climbers, and mountain adventurers who require reliable sun protection and moisture management during hot, exposed days. The primary benefit of this garment is its combination of rapid-wicking Dryflo™ Solar fabric and UPF 40+ protection, which keeps you dry and shielded from harsh UV rays; however, users should note that the regular fit may feel slightly loose for those who prefer a high-compression base layer feel.

FAQs

Is this tee suitable for extreme heat?

Yes, the Dryflo™ fabric is specifically designed for high-exertion activity in hot conditions, providing active cooling and sun protection.

Does the odor control treatment eventually wash out?

While effective, the treatment may diminish over time with repeated machine washing. Following care instructions helps prolong its lifespan.

Can I wear this under a harness?

Yes, the low-profile seams are designed to remain comfortable even when worn under climbing gear or backpacks.

What does the regular fit feel like?

The regular fit is not skin-tight, offering a relaxed feel that allows for better airflow around the body during high activity.

Is the UPF 40+ rating permanent?

The protection is inherent to the fabric construction, though it can decrease if the garment is stretched excessively or worn thin over many years.

Troubleshooting

Fabric snagged on rock or equipment

Gently smooth the fabric back into place. Avoid cutting pulled threads, as this may lead to holes; use a needle to carefully pull the loop back to the underside of the fabric.

Moisture is not wicking as expected

Ensure no fabric softener was used in the wash, as this blocks the wicking channels. Re-wash without detergent or with a specialized technical fabric wash.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This garment is designed to be worn directly against the skin as a technical base layer. It is compatible with standard hiking packs and climbing harnesses, with the low-profile seams preventing irritation under shoulder straps. To maintain the integrity of the Dryflo™ fabric and the integrated odor control treatment, machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the synthetic fibers and inhibit the wicking performance. Hang dry in a shaded area to prevent long-term sun damage to the fabric's technical properties.
