FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this base layer?
Its primary purpose is to provide UV50+ sun protection and manage body temperature through sweat-wicking fabric, keeping you comfortable during equestrian activities.
Is this base layer suitable for cold weather?
While it offers some thermal regulation, it is primarily designed for warmer conditions or as a base layer under other garments for added warmth. It is not a heavy winter garment.
How do I care for the base layer to maintain its properties?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours. Avoid bleach and tumble drying. Iron on a low setting if needed. Do not dry clean.
Can I wear this base layer for activities other than riding?
Yes, the technical fabric and comfortable design make it suitable for other athletic activities where sun protection and moisture management are beneficial.
What does UV50+ protection mean?
UV50+ protection means the fabric blocks over 98% of harmful ultraviolet (UVA and UVB) radiation from the sun.
Does the base layer come in other colors?
This specific product listing is for the Fondant colour. The LeMieux Classique Collection is available in various colours, and this base layer coordinates with those in popular shades.
How does the sizing run?
The base layer is designed with a standard fit, but the 360° stretch provides some flexibility. Consult a sizing chart or consider your preferred fit; some users may prefer to size up for a looser feel.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The 360° stretch fabric should offer freedom of movement; if it feels tight, consider trying a size up.
Chafing occurs during activity
Verify that the flat-lock seams are positioned correctly against your skin. While designed to minimize chafing, individual sensitivity may vary. Ensure the garment is not too tight.
Overheating despite vented underarms
While the vents improve airflow, in extreme heat, this may still occur. Consider using it as a base layer with a lighter outer garment or ensuring you are adequately hydrated.
