Product Information
Full details
The LeMieux Classique Base Layer is designed for active equestrians and outdoor enthusiasts who require a versatile, high-performance garment that bridges the gap between barn chores and intense training sessions. Its primary benefit lies in the combination of moisture-wicking, temperature-regulating fabric and a four-way stretch construction that ensures full freedom of movement. While it offers excellent performance during activity, users should note that as a technical layer, it is designed for a close, body-hugging fit, which may require sizing up if you prefer a looser style for casual wear.

FAQs
Is this base layer suitable for winter?

Does the fabric provide UV protection?
Yes, it features integrated UPF50+ protection to guard against sun exposure.
Should I size up for this garment?
The garment is designed for a close, athletic fit. If you prefer a more relaxed fit for casual wear, you may want to consider sizing up.
Can I tumble dry the base layer?
It is recommended to air dry the item to maintain the integrity of the technical stretch fabric and the effectiveness of the moisture-wicking technology.
What is the primary material used?

Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after long use
Ensure you are not wearing a non-breathable outer layer over the base layer, which can trap moisture inside.
Stitching irritation
Check that the garment is positioned correctly. Because of the flat-lock seams, it should sit smoothly against the skin; ensure it is not twisted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This base layer is designed as a standalone or foundational garment. For the best performance, wear it directly against your skin to allow the moisture-wicking fibers to draw sweat away from the body efficiently. When layering, it pairs perfectly with other technical vests, hoodies, or weather-resistant outer shells.
To ensure the longevity of your LeMieux Classique Base Layer:
- Washing: Machine wash at a cool temperature with like colors.
- Drying: Air dry naturally to preserve the elasticity and moisture-wicking properties of the synthetic fibers; avoid high-heat tumble drying.
- Bleach/Iron: Do not use bleach or iron the garment, as this can degrade the technical finish.
