FAQs

What makes this base layer 'Brilliance'?

The 'Brilliance' designation refers to the elegant detailing, specifically the subtle rhinestone accents on the ruched chest seam and the invisible quarter zip, adding a touch of glamour.

Is this base layer suitable for all seasons?

While lightweight and cooling, it's primarily designed for warmer weather or as a base layer under other garments. For very cold conditions, additional thermal layers would be necessary.

How does the UPF30+ protection work?

UPF30+ indicates that the fabric blocks approximately 97% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, offering significant protection against sun exposure.

Can I wear this for general sports, not just riding?

Yes, the technical fabric and comfortable fit make it suitable for other athletic activities that require flexibility and breathability, although the design is equestrian-focused.

What is the fit like?

The base layer has a feminine, close-fitting silhouette designed for performance and to flatter the rider's form. Mesh panels enhance this by creating a sculpted appearance.

How do I care for the rhinestone details?

It is recommended to wash the garment inside out on a gentle cycle at 30°C and avoid tumble drying or high heat ironing, especially over the embellished areas.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The 360° stretch fabric should offer ample movement; re-check measurements if the issue persists.

Base layer is not cooling effectively.

Ensure the fabric is clean, as dirt and sweat can impede cooling properties. Follow care instructions carefully to maintain fabric performance.

Rhinestones have detached.

Hand wash gently or use a very low machine wash setting inside out. Avoid direct ironing on the embellishments. If detachment occurs, consider re-attaching with fabric glue suitable for garments.
