FAQs

What makes this base layer suitable for riding?

It's designed with equestrian needs in mind, featuring UV protection, sweat-wicking fabric, and a fit that allows for unrestricted movement during riding.

Can I wear this base layer in cold weather?

Yes, while it's great for temperature regulation in warmer conditions, its technical fabric also makes it an effective base layer for warmth when combined with additional layers in colder weather.

How do I wash the LeMieux Classique Base Layer?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with similar colours. Avoid bleach and tumble drying. Iron on a low heat setting if needed.

Is this base layer suitable for sensitive skin?

The ultra-soft, flat-lock seams are designed to minimize chafing and bulk, making it generally comfortable for sensitive skin, especially during prolonged wear.

What does 'UV50+' mean?

UV50+ indicates that the fabric provides a very high level of protection against harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, blocking at least 98% of UV rays.

Does this base layer come in other colours or sizes?

Yes, the LeMieux Classique Base Layer is available in various colours and sizes. Please check the product listings for available options.

Troubleshooting

Base layer feels tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The 360° stretch offers a close fit, but if it feels too constricting, consider if a larger size would be more comfortable for your preference.

Sweat-wicking performance seems reduced

Make sure the garment is clean. Fabric softeners and certain detergents can impact the wicking properties. Wash according to care instructions with a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners.

Chafing occurs despite flat-lock seams

Verify the garment is fitting correctly. If it's too loose, it might bunch up. Ensure the seams are lying flat against the skin and that the size is appropriate.
