FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Brilliance Heyden base layer?

The main benefit is its combination of high-performance features, including unrestricted movement from 360° stretch fabric, UPF30+ sun protection, and cooling technology, all wrapped in an elegant design with rhinestone detailing.

Is this base layer suitable for hot weather riding?

Yes, the ultra-lightweight fabric and cooling technology are specifically designed to help keep riders cool and comfortable in warm conditions.

Can I wear this base layer for competitions?

Absolutely. The feminine design, flattering mesh panels, and subtle rhinestone accents make it ideal for a refined, competition-ready look.

How do I wash the base layer to protect the embellishments?

It is recommended to machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle (30°C) with a mild detergent, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, and iron on a low heat setting, avoiding direct contact with any embellishments. Washing inside out can also help protect detailing.

What does UPF30+ protection mean?

UPF30+ means the fabric will block at least 97% of the sun's harmful UV rays, offering significant protection during prolonged sun exposure.

Does the fabric offer warmth for cooler weather?

This is an ultra-lightweight base layer designed primarily for breathability and cooling. For colder weather, layering would be recommended.

What sizes and colors are available?

The LeMieux Brilliance Heyden Lightweight Base Layer is available in various sizes (e.g., UK 10, 14, 16, 18) and colors, including Brown (Espresso).

Troubleshooting

Base layer feels restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The 360° stretch fabric should allow for ample movement; if it feels tight, consider sizing up.

Base layer is not cooling effectively.

Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and sweat can impede cooling technology. Refer to care instructions for proper washing. Check for any potential blockages in the mesh panels that might affect airflow.

Rhinestones appear to be loose or damaged after washing.

Always follow the specific care instructions for garments with embellishments. Hand wash or use a very delicate machine cycle and avoid high heat when ironing. Consider washing inside out.
