FAQs

What is the main benefit of the cooling fabric technology?

The cooling fabric technology helps to regulate your body temperature by wicking away moisture and providing a refreshing sensation, keeping you comfortable during exercise or warm weather.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the product sizing information and consider your usual UK dress size. The 360° stretch fabric allows for some flexibility, but a snug, correct fit is ideal for performance.

Can this base layer be worn for competition?

Yes, the elegant design, subtle rhinestone detailing, and refined finish make it ideal for competition, offering both performance and style.

What is the UPF rating, and what does it mean?

The UPF rating is 30+. UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A UPF of 30+ indicates that the fabric blocks at least 97% of the sun's harmful UV rays.

How should I care for the rhinestone embellishments?

To preserve the rhinestones, it is recommended to wash the base layer on a delicate cycle, inside out, and preferably in a garment bag. Avoid tumble drying and direct heat when ironing.

Is this base layer suitable for cold weather riding?

This is an ultra-lightweight base layer designed for cooling and breathability. For cold weather, it would be best used as a base layer under warmer equestrian clothing.

What material is the base layer made from?

The base layer is crafted from an ultra-lightweight 360° stretch polyester fabric with mesh panels for added ventilation.

Troubleshooting

Base layer feels restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The 360° stretch fabric is designed for maximum movement; if it feels tight, it may be too small.

Fabric not feeling cool

Ensure the fabric is clean and free from heavy detergents or fabric softeners, which can impede the cooling technology. Check that mesh panels are not obstructed.

Rhinestones are loose or missing after washing

Hand wash or use a delicate machine wash cycle with a garment bag. Avoid high heat drying and excessive agitation. Follow care instructions precisely.

Sun protection feels inadequate

The UPF30+ rating provides significant protection, but for prolonged, intense sun exposure, consider additional protective measures like sunscreen or a hat.
