FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Motiv Aero fabric?

The Motiv Aero fabric is engineered for rapid drying, quick moisture wicking, and high breathability, keeping you cool and dry during intense physical activity.

Can this top be worn in cold weather?

It is designed as a technical base layer or a standalone top for mild to cool conditions. For colder weather, it can be layered effectively with insulating mid-layers and protective outer shells.

How do I activate the odour control feature?

The odour control treatment is integrated into the fabric and is active immediately. Proper washing according to care instructions helps maintain its effectiveness.

Are the thumb loops adjustable?

The thumb loops are designed with stretch fabric for a snug fit and are not adjustable.

What is the intended fit of this garment?

The Rab Sonic Long Sleeve Zip has a relaxed fit, prioritizing comfort and freedom of movement over a highly compressive feel.

What activities is this top best suited for?

It is ideal for high-output aerobic activities such as mountain running, fast hiking, trail running, and cycling, especially in cooler or variable conditions.

How do I care for the YKK chest zip?

The YKK chest zip should be kept clean and free of debris. When washing, ensure it is fully closed. Avoid ironing directly on the zip.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels damp after activity

Ensure the Motiv Aero fabric is not compressed by a tight outer layer, which can hinder wicking. Check that the washing process did not leave residue from detergents or softeners, which can impair fabric performance.

Odour persists after washing

Wash on a slightly warmer cycle (if fabric care allows) with a sports-specific detergent designed to break down odor-causing bacteria. Ensure thorough rinsing.

Seams feel irritating

Verify the garment is being worn the correct way (inside out is not intended). The Microactive seams are designed for comfort, but individual sensitivity can vary. Ensure no debris is trapped in the seams.
