FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the LeMieux Airflow Long Sleeve Base Layer?

Its primary purpose is to provide temperature regulation and breathability, keeping the wearer cool and comfortable during equestrian activities, especially in warmer weather or during intense exercise. It also offers UV protection.

How does the base layer help with staying cool?

It uses UV30+ technical fabric and features laser-cut perforated mesh panels on the sides and mid-back to maximize airflow and ventilation, effectively regulating core body temperature.

Can this base layer be worn for casual activities, or is it strictly for riding?

While designed with equestrian performance in mind, its comfortable fit and flattering style make it suitable for other active pursuits or casual wear, particularly in warmer weather.

What kind of fit does the base layer have?

It features a streamlined, athletic fit with sculpted seam lines designed to be flattering. The curved hem provides coverage and a neat appearance whether tucked or untucked.

What are the washing instructions?

Machine wash on a 30°C gentle cycle with similar colours. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or use fabric softener. Iron on a low heat setting.

Does the base layer offer sun protection?

Yes, it is made with UV30+ technical fabric, offering a good level of protection against harmful UV rays.

What if the size doesn't fit perfectly?

Refer to the sizing guide provided by LeMieux. If you are between sizes or prefer a slightly looser fit, consider ordering one size up.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels slightly clingy

Ensure you are washing with a non-bio detergent, as some bio detergents can affect technical fabrics. Also, avoid fabric softener which can impede moisture-wicking properties.

Zipper is stiff

Gently pull the zipper up and down a few times. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant can be applied carefully.

Reduced breathability over time

Technical fabrics can get clogged with residue from detergents or body oils. Ensure you are washing regularly according to care instructions and consider a specialized sports wash if issues persist.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent breathability and ventilation for hot weather or intense activity.
  • Provides UV protection, reducing sun exposure on exposed skin.
  • Flattering athletic fit with well-placed seam lines.
  • Comfortable to wear for extended periods due to soft fabric and thoughtful design.
  • Versatile for various equestrian activities, from riding to yard work.

Cons

  • May run slightly small, consider sizing up if you prefer a looser fit.
  • Primarily designed for warmer weather; might be too cool for very cold conditions without layering.
  • Specific fit may not suit all body types equally.
  • Quarter-zip might not be ideal for those who prefer a fully unrestricted neckline.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  • Wash with similar colours.
  • Do not bleach.
  • Do not tumble dry.
  • Iron on a low heat setting.
  • Ensure the zip is pulled up before washing to prevent snagging.
