Full details
The LeMieux Horsehealth Ladies Classique Short Sleeve Base Layer is designed for adult female riders seeking comfort and performance. Its key benefit is its technical fabric that regulates body temperature while providing UV50+ protection and excellent breathability, making it ideal for active use. A potential caveat is its specific design for layering, meaning it might be too warm on its own in very hot weather. This base layer features sweat-wicking, anti-microbial properties, 360° stretch for freedom of movement, and ultra-soft seams to minimize chafing.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this base layer?
Its primary purpose is to provide comfort and performance during equestrian activities by regulating body temperature, wicking moisture, offering UV protection, and ensuring freedom of movement.
Can this base layer be worn in very hot weather?
While it features sweat-wicking and vented underarms for breathability, it may be too warm to wear on its own in extremely high temperatures. It is best suited for moderate conditions or as a layer.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the LeMieux sizing chart and measure your chest, waist, and hip measurements. The garment should fit snugly but not be restrictive, allowing the technical fabric to work effectively.
Is the UV protection permanent?
The UV50+ protection is inherent to the fabric's construction and should last for the lifespan of the garment, provided it is cared for according to the instructions.
What does 'anti-microbial' mean for this product?
The fabric is treated or constructed to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria, helping to keep you feeling fresh for longer, even after prolonged wear.
Can I wear this base layer for other sports?
Yes, the technical features like moisture-wicking, breathability, and stretch make it suitable for various athletic activities beyond horse riding.
How do I care for the tonal matte logo?
The logo is designed to be durable, but avoid direct ironing on the logo area. Follow the general wash and care instructions for the garment.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels less breathable over time
Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions to remove any build-up of detergent or body oils that might impede breathability.
Seams feel slightly noticeable
Double-check that you have selected the correct size. An ill-fitting garment can cause seams to rub. Ensure the base layer is lying flat and smooth against the skin when worn.
Garment loses its shape
Avoid high heat in washing and drying. Always reshape the garment while damp after washing and allow it to air dry away from direct heat sources. Do not tumble dry.
