The primary benefit is its technical fabric which offers UPF30+ sun protection and excellent moisture-wicking to keep young riders comfortable and dry, combined with a fun sparkle design.
Is this base layer suitable for all weather conditions?
It is most suitable for moderate to warm weather on its own, or as a layering piece under a jacket or gilet in cooler conditions due to its lightweight nature.
How should I wash the sparkle base layer?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors. It's recommended to turn the garment inside out before washing and avoid tumble drying to preserve the sparkle.
Can this base layer be worn for general sports or just riding?
While designed with equestrian activities in mind, its technical features like moisture-wicking and stretch make it suitable for other active sports as well.

Troubleshooting
Base layer feels tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The 360° stretch offers flexibility, but the base layer should fit snugly without being constrictive.
Fabric is not wicking moisture effectively
Check that the garment is clean. Residue from detergents or fabric softeners can impede wicking properties. Follow the care instructions carefully.
Sparkle design is fading or peeling
Ensure the garment is washed and ironed according to the care instructions, particularly washing inside out and avoiding high heat.
