LeMieux Classique Short Sleeve Base Layer - Green - 16

The UV50+ protection significantly reduces the amount of harmful ultraviolet radiation that reaches your skin, helping to prevent sunburn and long-term sun damage during outdoor activities.

The fabric is engineered to be sweat-wicking, drawing moisture away from your skin to the outer surface where it can evaporate. This process helps to cool your body and maintain a comfortable temperature.

While primarily designed for temperature regulation in various conditions, it functions best as a base layer in cooler weather when worn under insulating layers like fleeces or jackets. Its short sleeves offer less thermal insulation on their own.

The anti-microbial treatment helps to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria on the fabric, keeping you feeling fresh for longer periods, even during strenuous activity.

Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours. Crucially, do not use fabric conditioner, bleach, or tumble dry, as these can degrade the technical properties of the fabric.

While optimized for equestrian activities, its technical features like UV protection, breathability, and stretch make it suitable for other sports and outdoor pursuits where comfort and protection are needed.

360° stretch means the fabric can stretch in all directions, providing complete freedom of movement and flexibility without feeling restrictive, which is vital for dynamic activities like riding.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Consult the LeMieux size chart for accurate measurements. The 360° stretch offers flexibility, but the initial fit should be snug without being overly constricting.

Check that you are using the correct washing method and avoiding fabric conditioners, which can impede the fabric's performance. Ensure the garment is not excessively worn.

While designed to be soft, individual sensitivity can vary. Ensure the garment is correctly oriented and not twisted. Consider if layering other garments underneath might be contributing to the friction.
