FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this base layer?
The LeMieux Ladies Classique Base Layer is designed to keep riders cool, comfortable, and protected from the sun, acting as an effective layer for equestrian activities.
Is this base layer suitable for all weather conditions?
It is versatile. Its UV50+ protection and sweat-wicking make it ideal for warmer weather or intense activity. In colder weather, it functions effectively as a breathable base layer under warmer garments.
How does the 360° stretch benefit me?
The 360° stretch fabric allows for complete freedom of movement without any restriction, which is crucial for riding, schooling, and other physical activities.
What makes the seams comfortable?
The base layer features ultra-soft seams with flat-lock stitching. This design minimizes chafing and reduces bulk, ensuring comfort when worn under other clothing.
How should I wash and care for my base layer?
Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) without bleach or fabric softener. Do not tumble dry; air dry only. Do not iron or dry clean.
Can I wear this base layer for activities other than riding?

How does this base layer coordinate with other LeMieux products?
It is designed to coordinate with the LeMieux Classique Collection, often available in popular matching colors and featuring subtle branding for a cohesive look.
Troubleshooting
Base layer feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the LeMieux sizing chart and consider if a larger size would provide more comfort, especially if you are between sizes.
Fabric not wicking sweat effectively
Check that you are not using fabric softener during washing, as this can clog the technical fibers. Wash the garment with appropriate sports detergent and rinse thoroughly.
Seams feel irritating or are causing chafing
Ensure the base layer is worn correctly and lies flat against the skin. If irritation persists, check the fit and consider if a different size or a slightly different cut of base layer might be more suitable.
UV protection seems reduced after multiple washes
Follow care instructions carefully. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive heat, which can degrade UV-protective properties over time. Air drying is recommended.
