FAQs
Does this provide real sun protection?
Yes, the SolVeil fabric is specifically engineered with UPF protection to shield the wearer from harsh sunlight.
Can this be worn as a standalone top?
While intended as a base layer, the stylish design allows it to be worn as a lightweight standalone top during warm-weather training.
Will the thumbholes cause discomfort under gloves?
The fabric is thin and ergonomic, specifically designed to layer comfortably under most riding gloves without creating bulk.
How should I choose the right size?
This garment features a slim, athletic fit. If you are between sizes or prefer a less compressive feel, it is recommended to size up.
Is the material stretchy?
Yes, the nylon construction provides excellent stretch and recovery, ensuring the garment moves with your body while in the saddle.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after heavy sweating
Ensure the baselayer is not covered by a non-breathable outer garment. Use the 1/4 zip to vent excess heat.
Odor is noticeable after washing
Wash immediately after heavy use. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they clog the pores of technical fabrics and interfere with Fresh TEK technology.

- Effective built-in sun protection
- Odor-resistant fabric treatment

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your SolVeil baselayer remains effective, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash in cold water using a mild, non-bleach detergent to protect the moisture-wicking and odor-control finishes.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry in the shade; avoid high-heat exposure which can damage the synthetic fibers.
- Compatibility: This garment functions best as a base layer under standard riding shirts or competition jackets. Avoid wearing heavy, non-breathable fabrics over the top, as this will trap heat and negate the benefits of the Climate TEK technology.
- Fit: The garment is designed with a slim silhouette. If you prefer more room for air circulation, consider sizing up.
