What is the Sonic Hoody?
It's a lightweight, moisture-wicking and breathable technical hoody ideal for active use throughout the warmer months and shoulder seasons. This versatile hoody is designed to protect you from the sun in hot climates by reducing sun exposure, but it also works equally well as a lightweight and highly packable mid-layer to take the chill off cool mornings and summer evenings.
What is it made from?
Rab has constructed the Sonic Hoody from their Motiv™ Aero single jersey fabric, made entirely from polyester, 56% of which is recycled.
This lightweight material has a fine mesh structure with fast-drying, moisture-wicking properties to promote ventilation and breathability.
Moisture-wicking base layers are important to help draw moisture away from the body, unlike cotton shirts, which will just hold the damp in, creating a clingy, wet feeling on the skin. These types of wicking fabrics allow sweat to pass through the material, away from the skin, helping to keep you dry and allowing you to regulate your temperature by avoiding lingering cold sweat patches.
The fabric has an added odour control treatment that will help keep you feeling and smelling fresh all day long, making this hoody a great choice for fast-packing and multi-day hiking.
What are its features?
The Sonic Hoody features a close-fitting hood that shields you from the sun, whilst its wrap design helps to provide a little extra coverage across the front of your neck.
The hoody is constructed with low bulk seams throughout for next-to-skin comfort, helping to reduce the risk of chafing when worn for long periods. This style of stitching also increases the strength of the seams, meaning the garment can easily stretch and reform without the worry of popping a stitch. Hidden stretch thumb loops help to keep your sleeves in place whilst moving fast.
The underarms are gusseted to offer a fantastic range of movement, meaning that your movement is unhindered and that your sleeves won't ride up every time you reach up - a simple yet practical feature that's great for climbing sunny and exposed routes.
The lightweight design, freedom of movement, excellent breathability and moisture-wicking properties make this hoody an exceptionally versatile piece, ideal for any outdoor activity in warm climates.
