FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the UV50+ protection?

The UV50+ protection significantly reduces your skin's exposure to harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun, helping to prevent sunburn and long-term skin damage during outdoor activities.

Can this base layer be worn in cold weather?

Yes, it can be worn as a performance layer under warmer riding gear like fleeces or jackets. Its moisture-wicking properties help keep you dry, which is crucial for warmth.

How does the sweat-wicking fabric work?

The technical fabric is designed to draw moisture (sweat) away from your skin and move it to the outer surface of the garment, where it can evaporate more quickly, keeping you dry and comfortable.

What does '360° stretch' mean for the fit?

It means the fabric can stretch in all directions, providing a snug yet comfortable fit that allows for complete freedom of movement without restriction, essential for athletic activities.

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

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, ironing, and fabric conditioners, as these can damage the technical fabric properties.

Is this base layer suitable for sports other than riding?

While designed with equestrian needs in mind, its technical features like UV protection and sweat-wicking make it suitable for other outdoor activities. However, specific features might be optimized for riding posture and movements.

Troubleshooting

Base layer feels too warm

Ensure the underarm vents are clear and unobstructed. Consider wearing it only during cooler parts of the day or in less strenuous activities.

Fabric is not wicking sweat effectively

Check that you are not using fabric softener, which can clog the fabric's pores. Wash the garment according to care instructions with a mild detergent.

Seams are causing irritation

Ensure the garment is the correct size. While designed to minimize chafing, individual sensitivity can vary. Ensure no debris is trapped in the seams.
