Product Information
Full details
The LeMieux Classique Base Layer is designed for active equestrians who need a versatile, technical garment that performs during both intense training sessions and daily yard duties. It offers exceptional moisture-wicking comfort and unrestricted freedom of movement through its stretch-fleece construction, though the form-fitting cut may require users to size up if they prefer a looser, more relaxed fit.

FAQs
Is this base layer suitable for winter?
It provides excellent thermal regulation, but it is a lightweight base layer. For deep winter, it should be worn under a heavier fleece or jacket.
Does it have a zip?
Yes, it features a convenient quarter-zip design for added temperature control.
Will the material chafe under a heavy coat?
No, the garment is specifically constructed with flat-lock stitching and ultra-soft seams to minimize bulk and prevent chafing.
Can I wear this for non-riding activities?
Absolutely. Its technical performance and professional look make it suitable for gym sessions, hiking, or general everyday wear.
Does the fabric offer sun protection?
Yes, it is rated UPF 50+, which provides high-level protection against UV rays.
How should I wash it?
Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius on a gentle cycle. Do not use fabric softener and air dry to maintain the fabric's technical properties.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears to be losing its moisture-wicking efficiency.
Check your detergent. Fabric softeners often leave a residue that clogs the pores of the technical fabric. Wash again using a specialized technical garment detergent.
Sizing feels too tight around the shoulders.
The Classique is a performance-fit garment. If you require more room for movement, consider sizing up as the fabric is designed to be skin-adjacent for optimal sweat transfer.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the technical fleece fabric, machine wash the garment on a gentle cycle at 30 degrees Celsius. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners, as these can coat the technical fibers and inhibit the moisture-wicking capabilities. It is best to air dry the base layer away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from losing its elasticity. The garment is fully compatible with most riding gear, though it is designed specifically as a base layer; wearing it as a standalone piece is suitable for warmer days, while it serves as a moisture-managing foundation for winter layering.
