Product Information
Full details
The Ariat SolVeil 1/4 Zip Baselayer is designed for adult men who require a technical, slim-fit layer for equestrian activities, training, and outdoor pursuits. It excels at providing lightweight protection against the sun while maintaining thermal comfort during high-intensity movement; however, users should note its slim-fit design may require sizing up if they prefer a looser, less compressive feel.

FAQs
Does this provide real sun protection?
Yes, it is rated UPF 40+ and tested to EN 13758-1 standards, blocking a significant amount of UVA and UVB rays.
Is the fit true to size?
The garment features a slim-fit design. If you prefer a more relaxed fit, consider ordering one size up from your standard size.
Can I wear this in cold weather?
While it is a baselayer, its primary function is moisture-wicking and sun protection. It can be part of a cold-weather layering system, but it is not inherently insulated.
How do I maintain the odour control properties?
Avoid using fabric softeners and high-heat drying, as these can strip away the technical finish responsible for FreshTEK properties.
Is this suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the combination of stretch fabric and odour-control technology is specifically designed for comfort during extended periods of activity.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels slightly stiff after washing
You likely used too much detergent or fabric softener. Rinse the garment again in plain water and air dry to clear residue.
Sleeves riding up during activity
Ensure that the thumbholes are utilized properly. If the fit is still uncomfortable, check that you have selected the correct size, as the slim fit relies on body contact to function.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your baselayer, always follow the care label attached to the garment. Because this piece is constructed from technical nylon, wash in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve the stretch properties and UPF efficacy. Avoid the use of fabric softeners, as these can coat the technical fibers and impede the moisture-wicking capabilities of the ClimateTEK system. For drying, it is recommended to air dry flat to prevent shrinkage or fiber degradation. When pairing with other apparel, the slim fit of the SolVeil makes it an ideal choice for layering under vests or heavy coats without adding unnecessary bulk.
