Product Information
Full details
The Aubrion React Long Sleeve Base Layer is designed for adult female riders seeking comfort, coverage, and performance support during active pursuits. Its key benefit is providing climate control and a lightweight, second-skin feel that allows for unrestricted movement. A potential caveat for some users might be its very body-fit design, which prioritizes a streamlined feel over a looser cut. This base layer features moisture management technology, a 1/4 zip for ventilation, and UPF50+ sun protection, making it a versatile piece for equestrian activities.

FAQs
What activities is this base layer best suited for?
It is designed for active riders and is suitable for various equestrian activities, from schooling and training to competition, thanks to its performance features.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart. The Aubrion React is designed for a close, body-fit feel. It should feel snug but not constricting, allowing for full movement.
Can this base layer be worn in hot weather?
Yes, the rapid-dry moisture management technology and 1/4 zip for ventilation make it suitable for warm weather. It helps keep you dry and comfortable by wicking away sweat.
Does the fabric offer sun protection?
Yes, the main fabric of the base layer provides UPF50+ protection, which is beneficial for protecting your skin from harmful UV rays during outdoor activities.
What care is required to maintain its performance?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours. Avoid bleach and tumble drying. Iron on a low setting. Do not use fabric softener, as it can reduce the effectiveness of the moisture-wicking properties.
Is this base layer suitable for layering?
Yes, its lightweight, second-skin fit makes it an excellent choice for layering under jackets, gilets, or thicker tops for added warmth in cooler conditions.
Troubleshooting
Base layer feels too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the product's sizing chart. The 'body fit' design is intentional for a second-skin feel; if a looser fit is preferred, consider ordering a size up.
Moisture is not being managed effectively
Ensure the garment is not overly saturated with sweat. Washing the garment according to care instructions can help restore the wicking properties. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impede moisture management.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently pull the zipper up and down a few times. Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. If the issue persists, a small amount of lubricant like graphite from a pencil tip can be applied to the zipper teeth.
