FAQs
Is this shirt suitable for hot weather?
Yes, the Sonic features specialized ventilation and is made from lightweight fabric designed to keep you cool.
Can I wear this as a base layer under a jacket?
Absolutely. Its low-bulk seams make it an ideal technical base layer for cooler conditions.
How should I wash the garment to maintain odor control?
Wash with cold water and avoid fabric softeners, which can coat the fibers and interfere with the performance of the fabric treatments.
Does the fabric stretch?
Yes, the material is designed to move with your body, offering the necessary elasticity for hiking and running.
Is the fit true to size?
The garment follows standard sizing conventions for athletic gear; the 'L' size typically fits standard medium-to-large builds with a regular, mobile-friendly fit.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after long use
Ensure you are not wearing non-breathable mid-layers over the top, which can trap moisture against the skin.
Garment has developed an odor over time
Wash the shirt using a sports-specific detergent designed to strip oils and bacteria from synthetic technical apparel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment is ready to use immediately upon purchase. As a technical base layer, it pairs exceptionally well with lightweight shell jackets or windbreakers.
Care Instructions:
- Machine wash cold with like colors to maintain the integrity of the synthetic fibers.
- Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the moisture-wicking pores of the technical fabric.
- Hang dry whenever possible to extend the life of the seams and fabric shape.
- If using a dryer, select the lowest heat setting to prevent premature wear.
