Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your Sondico Core Baselayer Tights is straightforward:
- Unpack: Remove the tights from their packaging.
- Wear: Simply pull them on like regular tights, ensuring the elasticated waistband sits comfortably around the waist.
- Adjust: Smooth out any wrinkles to ensure a snug, even fit for optimal muscle compression and comfort.
Compatibility
These tights are highly compatible with a variety of activewear and activities:
- Activities: Suitable for cold-weather workouts, gym sessions, outdoor sports (e.g., football, rugby, running), and winter sports (e.g., skiing, snowboarding).
- Layering: Designed as a first layer. Wear them under shorts, track pants, or waterproof trousers.
- Gear: Works well with other athletic wear, including base layer tops, socks, and sports footwear.
Care Instructions
Proper care ensures the longevity and performance of your baselayer tights:
- Washing: Machine washable. Refer to the garment's specific care label for recommended water temperature. Generally, a cool or warm wash cycle is best.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the fabric's elasticity and wicking properties.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the elasticity of the Lycra fibres and prevent shrinkage. If using a tumble dryer, use a low heat setting.
- Ironing: Avoid ironing, as high heat can damage synthetic materials.
- Safety Warning: Crucially, keep away from fire. The synthetic materials (Polyester and Lycra) can melt or ignite when exposed to high heat or flame, causing severe burns. Store away from heat sources.
