Product Information
Full details
The LeMieux Mini Base Layer in Pink, size 3-4, is designed for active young riders who need comfort and protection during equestrian activities or outdoor play. Its key benefit is maintaining a cool, dry, and protected feel with its moisture-wicking and UV50+ protective fabric, combined with exceptional freedom of movement thanks to 360° stretch. A potential caveat for some might be the specific sizing (3-4 years) which may not fit all children in that age range precisely. This base layer features sweat-wicking capabilities, superior stretch, UV protection, and flatlock seams for comfort, making it an essential piece for layering.

FAQs
What age range is the LeMieux Mini Base Layer size 3-4 suitable for?
The size 3-4 is designed for children typically within that age bracket. It's always recommended to check the specific measurements if available, as children's sizes can vary.
How should I wash the Mini Base Layer?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and do not tumble dry. Air dry the garment instead.
Can this base layer be worn on its own?
While it can be worn on its own, it is primarily designed as a base layer for comfort and performance under other clothing. It offers UV protection but limited insulation for cold weather.
Is the UV protection permanent?
The UV50+ protection is built into the fabric. Proper care, as outlined in the instructions, will help maintain its effectiveness over time. Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive heat.
What is the main benefit of the 360° stretch fabric?
The 360° stretch fabric allows for complete freedom of movement, which is crucial for active children whether they are riding horses, playing, or engaging in other physical activities.
Can this base layer be worn by boys and girls?
Yes, the design and functionality are suitable for all genders, and the pink colour is a popular choice for many young riders.
What does 'moisture-wicking' mean for my child?
Moisture-wicking fabric draws sweat away from your child's skin to the outer surface of the fabric, where it can evaporate. This helps to keep them feeling cool, dry, and more comfortable during activity.
Troubleshooting
Child feels too warm even with the base layer.
Ensure the base layer is not too tight and that other layers worn over it are also breathable. Check that the moisture-wicking properties are not compromised by fabric softener or incorrect washing.
Seams feel uncomfortable or are rubbing.
Verify the garment is being worn the correct way around. Ensure the size is appropriate; a garment that is too small can cause seams to stretch and irritate. Review care instructions to ensure no fabric softeners were used, as these can affect seam comfort.
Fabric appears less effective at wicking moisture after several washes.
Rinse the garment thoroughly after washing to remove any detergent residue. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fabric's pores and reduce its wicking ability. Consider a specific technical wash detergent if problems persist.
