Product Information
Full details
The LeMieux Classique Base Layer is designed for adult equestrians and active women who require technical performance apparel that balances UV protection with climate regulation. Crafted from high-stretch, sweat-wicking fleece, this quarter-zip garment provides a close, comfortable fit that excels as a standalone piece or as a foundational layer under vests and jackets; however, riders should note that the technical fabric is specifically optimized for athletic output and may feel thinner than traditional heavy winter fleeces.

FAQs
Does the base layer provide sun protection?
Yes, it is rated UV50+, offering significant protection against the sun during outdoor riding.
Can I wear this as a winter layer?
It is designed as a base layer; it is excellent for temperature regulation, but for very cold days, it should be paired with a fleece or coat.
Is the fit true to size?
The garment is designed to be a close-fitting base layer. If you prefer a looser fit for casual wear, you may want to consider sizing up.
How do I best wash this garment?
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softeners and tumble drying to maintain the technical performance of the fabric.
What is the material composition?
The garment is made from high-quality technical fleece designed for breathability and moisture management.
Does the zipper cause irritation?
The quarter-zip is designed to lay flat and is accompanied by comfortable, flat-lock seams to prevent chafing.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after long rides
Ensure the base layer is worn directly against the skin as a primary layer to maximize moisture transfer; heavy cotton garments worn underneath will trap moisture.
Visible signs of wear or pilling
Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces like rough fences or velcro closures from other equipment, which can snag the technical fleece fibers.
Loss of stretch over time
Check your wash cycle to ensure you are not using high heat, which can damage the synthetic fibers responsible for the 360-degree stretch.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your base layer, it is essential to follow the care label instructions. Because the fabric features technical sweat-wicking properties, avoid using heavy fabric softeners during laundering, as they can clog the pores of the fibers and reduce moisture-wicking efficiency. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors and hang to air dry to protect the garment's elasticity. This base layer is fully compatible with other pieces in the LeMieux Classique line, allowing for easy color coordination with saddle pads and accessories. When selecting your size, refer to standard UK dress sizes to ensure the intended snug, performance-fit silhouette.
