Full details
The Shires Aubrion React short sleeve base layer is designed for active young riders seeking comfort and performance in warmer weather. Its key benefit is superior moisture management and a lightweight, second-skin feel that enhances freedom of movement.

FAQs
Is this base layer suitable for all weather conditions?
The Aubrion React base layer is optimized for warmer weather, offering moisture management and UPF50+ sun protection. For colder conditions, consider layering it with warmer garments.
How do I know which size to choose?
Refer to the Shires size guide for children's apparel. The garment is designed for a 'body fit', so it should feel snug.
Can I wear this for activities other than riding?
Yes, the performance features such as moisture-wicking and 4-way stretch make it suitable for various sports and outdoor activities where comfort and freedom of movement are important.
How should I wash the base layer to maintain its performance?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours. Avoid bleach and tumble drying on high heat. Air drying is recommended to preserve the fabric's technical properties.
What does UPF50+ mean?
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. UPF50+ indicates that the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, offering excellent sun protection.
Does the 1/4 zip have a cover at the top?
Yes, the base layer features a chin guard to prevent the zipper from irritating the skin at the neck.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the brand's size chart for accurate measurements. The 'body fit' is designed to be snug for performance.
Moisture not wicking effectively
Ensure the garment is not overloaded with fabric conditioner during washing, as this can impede moisture-wicking properties. Wash with like colours using a mild detergent.
Zipper is stiff or catching
Gently work the zipper up and down. If it persists, check for any threads caught in the zipper. A small amount of graphite from a pencil applied to the teeth can help lubricate it.
