Full details

Its primary benefit is maintaining optimal body temperature and providing UV protection, though it's important to note its suitability as a base layer rather than standalone outerwear.

FAQs

What is the main purpose of this base layer?

The main purpose is to provide UV protection, wick away sweat, and regulate body temperature, offering comfort during equestrian activities. It is designed as a performance base layer.

Can this be worn on its own?

Yes, it can be worn on its own in warm weather. However, it is designed with layering in mind and functions best as a base layer under other garments for added warmth or protection.

How does the UV50+ protection work?

The fabric is specifically treated or woven to block 98% or more of the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays, offering significant protection to the skin covered by the garment.

Are the seams comfortable for long rides?

Yes, the base layer features ultra-soft flat-lock seams designed to minimize chafing and reduce bulk, making them comfortable for extended periods of wear.

How do I wash and care for this item?

Machine wash at 30°C with non-bio detergent, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, and iron on a low heat. Always wash with similar colours.

What does 'anti-microbial' mean in this context?

The fabric has been treated to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria, helping to keep the garment smelling fresh for longer periods.

Does it offer thermal insulation?

While the technical fabric helps regulate temperature, its primary function is moisture management and breathability. It offers light thermal properties but is best used as a base layer for warmth in cooler conditions.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels restrictive

Ensure the correct size has been selected. Check that the flat-lock seams are not causing any localized pressure points.

Excessive sweating or feeling damp

While the fabric is sweat-wicking, ensure you are not overheating due to external conditions or layering too much. Check underarm vents are not obstructed.

Reduced anti-microbial effectiveness over time

Follow care instructions carefully, using appropriate detergents. Avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade fabric performance.
