FAQs

What age group is this base layer for?

This base layer is designed for kids, specifically in sizes like UK 9-10 as indicated. Please refer to the size chart for specific measurements.

What does UPF30+ protection mean?

UPF30+ stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor 30+. It means the fabric will block at least 97.5% of the sun's harmful UV rays when worn.

Can this base layer be worn in all seasons?

Yes, it is versatile. In warmer weather, it provides UPF protection and moisture-wicking. In colder weather, it functions effectively as a base layer for warmth and comfort.

How do I ensure the sparkle effect lasts?

To preserve the sparkle, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, and always air dry. Avoid bleach, fabric softener, and direct ironing on the sparkle areas.

Is the fabric stretchy?

Yes, the fabric features 360° stretch, ensuring unrestricted movement and a comfortable fit for active young riders.

What are the benefits of the quarter zip?

The quarter zip allows for easy adjustment of ventilation. You can zip it up for warmth or zip it down to allow more airflow and cooling when needed.

Can this be worn for activities other than riding?

Yes, its comfort, breathability, and stretch make it suitable for other active pursuits such as schooling, athletics, or as a comfortable layer for everyday wear.

Troubleshooting

Base layer feels clingy or not breathable.

Ensure the garment is clean. Residue from detergents or body oils can affect fabric performance. Wash according to care instructions without fabric softener.

Chafing occurs despite flatlock seams.

Verify the size is correct; a too-tight garment can increase friction. Ensure the garment is washed and rinsed thoroughly to remove any manufacturing residue.

Sparkle design is fading.

Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, and high heat drying or ironing, as these can damage the sparkle application. Gentle washing and air drying are recommended.
