FAQs

Is this base layer suitable for all equestrian disciplines?

Yes, its technical features like sweat-wicking, breathability, and 360° stretch make it suitable for various activities, from schooling and hacking to competing.

How does the UV50+ protection work?

The fabric is engineered with specific fibers and weaves that block a significant portion of ultraviolet radiation, protecting your skin from sun damage.

Can I wear this base layer in hot weather?

Absolutely. The sweat-wicking fabric and vented underarms are specifically designed to keep you cool and dry in warmer conditions.

What is the benefit of the flat-lock seams?

Flat-lock seams lie flat against the skin, reducing irritation and chafing, and also minimize bulk, making it comfortable to wear under other garments.

How do I ensure I get the right fit?

Refer to the sizing guide provided by LeMieux. The base layer should fit snugly but not be restrictive, allowing for full range of motion.

Does this base layer come in other colors?

Yes, the LeMieux Classique Base Layer is available in various colors, often coordinating with the wider LeMieux Classique Collection. Please check product listings for available options.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The 360° stretch should allow for movement; a restrictive feeling might indicate the size is too small.

Chafing during activity.

Verify that the flat-lock seams are positioned correctly against your skin. If the issue persists, the size might be too tight, causing the seams to rub.

Fabric not wicking moisture effectively.

Check if the garment has been washed with fabric softener, which can impair wicking properties. Re-wash without softener. Also, ensure the garment is not overly worn, as performance can degrade over time.
