Product Information

Full details

The LeMieux Brilliance Heyden Lightweight Base Layer is designed for adult female riders seeking a blend of high performance and elegant style for training or competition. Its key benefit is exceptional comfort and freedom of movement, thanks to ultra-lightweight, 360° stretch fabric with cooling technology and UPF30+ sun protection. A potential caveat is that the refined aesthetic, with rhinestone detailing, may require more delicate care than a standard training top.

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the cooling fabric technology?

The cooling fabric technology helps to wick away moisture and promote airflow, assisting in regulating your body temperature to keep you comfortable during exercise, especially in warmer weather.

Can this base layer be worn for everyday casual wear?

While comfortable, the base layer features elegant detailing like rhinestones and a refined fit, making it ideal for equestrian activities and competitions. It can be worn casually, but its design leans towards performance and style in the saddle.

What does UPF30+ protection mean?

UPF30+ indicates that the fabric blocks at least 97% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, offering significant sun protection for the skin when worn.

How should I best care for the rhinestone embellishments?

To maintain the rhinestones, it is recommended to wash the garment inside out on a gentle cycle at a low temperature (30°C) and air dry. Avoid tumble drying and direct ironing on the embellished areas.

Is this base layer suitable for all seasons?

Its lightweight and cooling properties make it ideal for warmer weather or as a base layer in cooler conditions. For very cold weather, layering with warmer garments would be necessary.

What other items can I pair with this base layer?

This base layer is designed to coordinate with the LeMieux Brilliance Collection, including matching horse wear, but also pairs well with standard equestrian breeches, riding shirts, and jackets.

What is the fit like?

The base layer is designed with a feminine, elegant fit that is close to the body to allow for optimal performance and a flattering silhouette, enhanced by mesh side panels.

Troubleshooting

Base layer feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The 360° stretch fabric offers flexibility, but proper sizing is crucial for optimal comfort and movement.

Rhinestones are peeling or falling off.

Review the care instructions. Hand washing or using a gentle machine cycle and avoiding high heat drying are key to preserving the embellishments. Avoid direct ironing on the decorated areas.

Base layer does not feel cool.

Ensure the fabric is not excessively layered under other thick garments, which can impede airflow. The cooling effect is optimized in moderate to warm conditions when air can circulate.
