FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Brilliance Heyden Lightweight Base Layer?

The primary benefit is the combination of high-performance fabric technology (ultra-lightweight, 360° stretch, cooling, UPF30+) with an elegant, competition-ready design featuring rhinestone accents.

How does the cooling technology work?

The fabric is engineered with specific properties that help to wick moisture away from the body and promote airflow, aiding in temperature regulation during physical activity.

Can this base layer be worn in cold weather?

While designed as a lightweight layer, it can be effectively layered under warmer jackets or fleeces in cooler conditions to help manage moisture and provide an additional thermal layer.

What is the recommended way to wash the base layer?

It is recommended to machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, turned inside out, and air dry. Avoid fabric softener and tumble drying.

Is the rhinestone detailing durable?

The detailing is designed for elegance and durability with proper care. Following the wash instructions, particularly turning the garment inside out and avoiding harsh treatments, will help preserve the rhinestones.

What does UPF30+ mean?

UPF30+ indicates that the fabric will block at least 97% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, providing significant sun protection.

Does this base layer come in other colors or sizes?

This specific listing is for the Brown, Size 16. The LeMieux Brilliance Collection may offer this style in other colors and sizes. Please check the product details or available variants.

Troubleshooting

Base layer feels too warm

Ensure the quarter zip is open for maximum ventilation. The cooling fabric is designed for active cooling; if static heat is extreme, consider lighter options if available, or use as a base layer to manage moisture.

Rhinestones have detached

This is rare, but if it occurs, avoid further washing. Contact customer support for potential repair options or consider a professional fabric repair service.

Fabric pilling after washing

Ensure the garment is washed inside out on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, and avoid tumble drying. Check for any rough surfaces in the washing machine or during drying that might cause friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal fit and comfort. The invisible quarter zip allows for easy donning and doffing, as well as adjustable ventilation.

Compatibility:

Designed for equestrian use, this base layer pairs perfectly with other LeMieux Brilliance Collection items for a coordinated look. It can also be worn with standard riding breeches and jackets.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the integrity and appearance of the base layer, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild, non-biological detergent.
  3. Fabric Softener: Avoid using fabric softener, as it can affect the fabric's performance properties.
  4. Drying: Do not tumble dry. Air dry flat or hang to prevent stretching.
  5. Ironing: Do not iron the rhinestone details. If ironing is necessary on other parts of the garment, use a cool setting.
  6. Special Care: Turn inside out before washing to protect the exterior details.
