Product Information
Full details
The LeMieux Classique Base Layer is designed for active women seeking a versatile garment that transitions seamlessly from equestrian training to casual daily activities. Its primary benefit lies in the combination of moisture-wicking fleece material and ergonomic design, which provides thermal regulation and freedom of movement; however, users should note that the form-fitting cut may require careful sizing selection to ensure a comfortable, non-restrictive feel.

FAQs
Is this garment suitable for hot summer days?
Yes, the breathable technical fleece and vented underarms are designed for temperature regulation, and the UPF 50+ protection is specifically beneficial for outdoor summer activities.
Can I wear this as a standalone top?
Absolutely. While it is designed as a base layer, the sleek finish makes it suitable as a lightweight training shirt on its own.
How does the sizing run?
The garment features a form-fitting cut with 4-way stretch. If you prefer a looser fit, you may want to size up from your standard UK dress size.
Does the fabric lose its softness after washing?
When washed correctly without heavy softeners, the material is designed to retain its smooth, soft feel over long-term use.
Does it provide wind protection?
It provides mild protection, but it is primarily designed for breathability and moisture management rather than as a windproof barrier.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after long workouts
Ensure the base layer is worn directly against the skin to allow the wicking technology to function correctly; wearing cotton underneath will trap moisture.
Zipper feels stiff
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track and lightly clean any debris from the teeth using a soft, dry cloth.
Static cling in dry weather
Avoid over-drying the garment in the machine, which can increase static; use a gentle laundry treatment or air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the technical integrity of the fleece fabric, machine wash the base layer on a gentle cycle at 30 degrees Celsius. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the moisture-wicking fibers and diminish breathability. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the stretch and UV protection properties of the garment. When layering, this piece is most compatible with fitted mid-layers or riding jackets that allow the technical fabric to pull moisture away from the skin toward the outer layers.
