FAQs

What age group is the LeMieux Mini Base Layer suitable for?

This specific item is a size 7-8, typically suitable for children in that age range. LeMieux also offers this base layer in other sizes for younger children.

How does the moisture-wicking fabric work?

The fabric is engineered to pull moisture (sweat) away from the skin and spread it across the surface of the fabric, where it can evaporate more quickly, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable.

Is the UV protection permanent?

Yes, the UV50+ protection is a property of the fabric itself and is designed to last the lifespan of the garment when care instructions are followed.

Can this base layer be worn on its own?

Yes, it can be worn on its own during warm weather for UV protection and comfort, or layered under other clothing for warmth and additional moisture management.

How should I wash the base layer to maintain its performance?

Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, ironing, and dry cleaning. Washing before the first use is recommended.

What does '360° stretch' mean for my child?

'360° stretch' means the fabric can stretch in all directions (lengthwise and widthwise), providing maximum flexibility and freedom of movement for active play and sports.

Can this base layer be worn for activities other than riding?

Absolutely. Its comfort, breathability, and flexibility make it ideal for a wide range of outdoor activities like running, hiking, sports, or general play.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels less breathable after washing

Ensure you are not using fabric softener, as it can clog the fabric's pores and reduce breathability. Always follow the recommended washing instructions.

Child feels cold while wearing the base layer

This base layer is designed primarily for moisture management and UV protection. For warmth, layer a fleece or insulated jacket over it.

Seams feel slightly rough

While designed with flatlock seams for comfort, individual sensitivity can vary. Ensure the garment is washed before the first wear, as this often softens the seams further.
