Sondico Core Base Long Sleeve - Black

Optivent is a proprietary technology engineered to enhance airflow and moisture-wicking capabilities. It helps to quickly draw sweat away from the skin and promote evaporation, keeping you dry and comfortable during physical activity.

The Sondico Core Base Long Sleeve is designed for a close, compression-like fit. It should feel snug against your body without being uncomfortably tight or restricting your movement. This close contact is essential for its moisture-wicking and thermal regulation properties to work effectively.

While it can be worn alone, it is primarily designed as a base layer for athletic performance. Its snug fit and technical fabric make it suitable for solo wear during workouts, but it's often intended to be worn under other garments for layering and additional protection.

This garment is machine washable. For best results, wash it in cold or cool water. Avoid using bleach. Tumble dry on a low setting or, ideally, air dry to preserve the fabric's elasticity and technical properties. Always remember to keep it away from fire.

Yes, as a base layer, it's effective for cooler match days or early morning runs. It helps to retain body heat while wicking away sweat, making it a good first layer. For very cold conditions, it should be paired with additional insulating layers.

The shell is composed of 92% Polyester and 8% Lycra (for Grey Marl variants, it's 90% Polyester / 10% Lycra). The mesh components are made from 82% Polyester and 18% Elastane, contributing to its breathability and stretch.

Base layers are designed to be snug. However, if it feels genuinely restrictive or uncomfortable, re-check your sizing against the brand's size guide. A larger size might be needed.

Ensure the rubberised grip hem is fully extended and not folded when putting on the garment. Also, verify that the size is appropriate, as a top that is too small might cause excessive tension and rolling.

While designed for breathability, consider the intensity of your activity and the ambient temperature. For very high-intensity workouts or warmer conditions, you might need a lighter-weight base layer or adjust your layering strategy. Ensure other layers are also breathable.

Synthetic fabrics can sometimes retain odors. Ensure you wash the garment promptly after use. Consider using a sports-specific detergent designed to neutralize odors in technical fabrics. Avoid using too much fabric softener, which can build up and trap odors.
