FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this base layer?

The primary purpose is to provide temperature regulation, UV protection, and comfort during equestrian activities through its technical fabric and design features.

Is this base layer suitable for all seasons?

It is best suited for moderate to warm weather or as a base layer in colder conditions. The short sleeves mean additional warmth will be needed in very cold weather.

How does the fabric help with sweat?

The fabric is designed to be sweat-wicking, meaning it draws moisture away from your skin to the outer surface of the garment, where it can evaporate, helping you stay dry and comfortable.

What does '360° stretch' mean for the wearer?

It means the fabric can stretch in all directions, allowing for complete freedom of movement without restriction, which is crucial for riding.

Can I wear this base layer for other sports?

Yes, while designed for equestrian use, its technical features like moisture-wicking, breathability, and stretch make it suitable for other athletic activities.

How should I care for the matte logo?

To maintain the appearance of the tonal matte logo, avoid harsh detergents and high heat when washing or drying. Iron on a low heat setting, preferably on the reverse side.

What size should I choose if I'm between sizes?

Given the 360° stretch and focus on minimizing chafing, it's generally recommended to choose the size that offers a snug but comfortable fit. If you prefer a looser feel, consider sizing up, but be aware this might slightly reduce the effectiveness of the moisture-wicking and chafing prevention.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check that all seams are lying flat against the skin. The 360° stretch fabric should allow for full movement.

Skin irritation or chafing

Verify that the flat-lock seams are positioned comfortably against your skin. Ensure the garment is the correct size and not too tight. Wash the garment before first wear to soften the fabric.

Reduced breathability or overheating

Confirm that the underarm vents are not obstructed. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and residue can impede fabric performance. Consider if additional layers are too warm for the current conditions.

Odor persists after washing

Follow care instructions precisely, washing inside out. Use a detergent suitable for technical fabrics. Ensure the garment is completely dry before storing, as moisture can reactivate bacteria.
