FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this base layer?
The LeMieux Classique Base Layer is designed for performance, offering temperature regulation, UV protection, and freedom of movement for activities like riding and running, while also being comfortable for everyday wear.
Is this base layer suitable for very cold weather?
While it offers temperature regulation, it is designed as a base layer for active use. For extreme cold, it would likely need to be paired with additional insulating layers.
Can I wear this as a standalone top?
Yes, you can wear it as a standalone top, especially in warmer weather or during high-intensity activities where its breathability and UV protection are beneficial. It features a sleek LeMieux logo for a stylish appearance.
How does the fabric help regulate body temperature?
The technical fabric is designed to wick moisture away from the body and allow for airflow, particularly through the vented underarms, helping to keep you cool when active and comfortable by preventing overheating.
What does '360° stretch' mean for the fit?
It means the fabric stretches in all directions, allowing for complete freedom of movement without feeling tight or restrictive, no matter how dynamic your activity.
Is the UV protection permanent?
The UV50+ protection is a feature of the fabric's construction and should remain effective throughout the garment's lifespan, provided care instructions are followed.
What sizes are available?
This guide specifically refers to the LeMieux Classique Base Layer in Red, UK size 16. Other sizes and colours are available in the LeMieux range.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The 360° stretch is designed to be form-fitting but not constrictive. Check the sizing guide if unsure.
Skin irritation or chafing
While designed to minimize chafing, ensure the seams lie flat against the skin. Ensure the garment is the correct size and not too tight. Wash before first wear to soften the fabric.
Base layer is not keeping me cool
Ensure the vented underarms are not obstructed. For maximum cooling, utilize the quarter zip for adjustable ventilation. The fabric is designed for active cooling, so performance is enhanced during movement.
Fabric shows signs of wear after washing
Follow the recommended washing instructions carefully. Avoid harsh detergents, high heat drying, and excessive spinning, which can damage technical fabrics.
