FAQs
What is a baselayer?
A baselayer is the first layer of clothing worn next to the skin, designed to regulate body temperature. It typically wicks away sweat, provides comfort, and offers warmth or cooling depending on the activity and conditions.
Can these tights be worn on their own?
Yes, these tights can be worn on their own for activities like gym sessions, indoor training, or in milder weather. For optimal warmth and protection in colder or outdoor conditions, they are designed to be worn under other clothing.
What does 'compression fit' mean?
Compression fit means the garment is designed to fit snugly against the body, applying gentle pressure to muscles. This can help with muscle support, reduce fatigue, and aid in warmth retention by improving circulation and trapping heat.
Are these tights suitable for all seasons?
These tights are specifically designed to add warmth, making them most suitable for cold-weather workouts, gym sessions, and as an essential layer for winter sports. They might be too warm for hot weather or intense activities in mild conditions.
How do I determine the right size for my child?
These specific tights are sized for children aged 7-8 years. For the best fit, you should generally refer to standard children's sizing charts based on age, height, and weight, keeping in mind they are designed to fit snugly.
Why is it important to keep them away from fire?
The synthetic fabric composition (Polyester and Lycra) can be flammable. It is a crucial safety precaution for such materials to keep them away from open flames or high heat sources to prevent fire hazards and potential injury.
Troubleshooting
Tights feel too tight or uncomfortable.
While designed for a compression fit, the tights should not restrict movement. Ensure the correct size was purchased for the age group (7-8 years). If still uncomfortable, try adjusting them or consider if a different size might be needed.
Skin irritation or chafing occurs during wear.
The flat lock seams are specifically designed to minimize chafing. Ensure the tights are clean before wearing. If irritation persists, check for any detergent residues after washing or consult a medical professional if discomfort continues.
Tights do not seem to provide enough warmth.
Baselayers work by trapping body heat. For extremely cold conditions, ensure the tights are paired with appropriate insulating outer layers. Also, confirm the wearer is actively moving, as baselayers are most effective when generating body heat.
Fabric appears to be stretching out or losing shape.
Ensure proper care instructions are followed, especially regarding washing temperature and avoiding high heat tumble drying. Overstretching during wear or improper sizing can also contribute to shape loss over time.

Setup
To wear the Sondico Core Baselayer Tights, simply pull them on as you would any pair of athletic tights. Ensure the elasticated waistband sits comfortably around the waist without being too tight or too loose. The flat lock seams are designed to lie smoothly against the skin to minimise irritation.
Compatibility
These tights are designed to be worn as a base layer, meaning they should be worn directly against the skin. They are compatible with a wide range of athletic outerwear, such as shorts, track pants, or ski trousers. They are suitable for various sports and activities where warmth, muscle support, and moisture management are beneficial, including football, running, gym sessions, and winter sports.
Care
Caring for your Sondico Core Baselayer Tights is straightforward to ensure their longevity and performance:
- Machine Washable: Always refer to the care label for specific temperature settings. Generally, wash with similar colours on a cool or warm cycle.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or harsh detergents, as these can damage the fabric's integrity and elasticity.
- Tumble Drying: Air drying is recommended to preserve the fabric and elasticity. If using a tumble dryer, opt for a low heat setting.
- Keep Away From Fire: Due to the synthetic material composition (Polyester and Lycra), it is crucial to *keep these tights away from open flames or high heat sources* to prevent fire hazards. This is a standard safety precaution for many athletic garments.
