FAQs

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

Its primary purpose is to keep the wearer cool and comfortable during warm weather activities like riding, training, and yard work by regulating temperature and maximizing airflow.

Does this base layer offer sun protection?

Yes, it features UV30+ technical fabric, which provides a good level of protection against harmful UV rays.

How does the material help with temperature regulation?

The advanced fabric blend, combined with strategically placed laser-cut mesh panels, helps to dissipate heat and encourage airflow, thus regulating your core temperature.

Is this base layer suitable for very cold weather?

While it offers temperature regulation, it is primarily designed for warmer conditions. For cold weather, layering with warmer garments would be necessary.

What are the care instructions for this base layer?

It is machine washable at 30 degrees with similar colors. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and dry cleaning. Iron on a low heat setting and reshape while damp.

Can I wear this base layer for activities other than equestrian sports?

Absolutely. Its technical features and comfortable fit make it suitable for various athletic pursuits and general activewear.

What does 'cut-on' neck mean?

'Cut-on' neck refers to a construction method where the neckband is an integral part of the main garment piece, often resulting in a smoother, more comfortable fit around the neckline.

Troubleshooting

Base layer feels too tight.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the fit is still too snug, consider if a larger size or a different style of base layer would be more suitable for your preference.

Reduced breathability over time.

Follow the recommended washing instructions carefully. Fabric conditioners or harsh detergents can sometimes impede the performance of technical fabrics. Ensure the garment is not overloaded in the washing machine.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently work the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
