Full details
The LeMieux Classique Base Layer is designed for active women seeking versatile performance wear for riding, running, or daily routines. Its key benefit is advanced body temperature regulation and comfort through high-performance technical fabric, but one caveat is its specific design, which may be best suited for layering rather than standalone wear in very casual settings. Key features include UV50+ protection, a quarter zip, sweat-wicking, anti-microbial properties, and 360° stretch for unrestricted movement.

FAQs
What activities is this base layer best suited for?
It is designed for a range of activities including riding, running, hiking, and general fitness, offering comfort and performance through temperature regulation and breathability.
Can I wear this base layer on its own?
While it can be worn alone in some casual settings, its primary design is as a performance base layer for layering under other garments due to its technical fabric and features.
How do I wash the base layer?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and ironing on high heat. Do not use fabric softeners.
Does the fabric offer sun protection?
Yes, the base layer features UV50+ protection, helping to shield your skin from harmful sun rays during outdoor use.
What makes the seams comfortable?
The base layer uses ultra-soft seams and flatlock stitching. This construction reduces bulk and minimizes the potential for chafing, especially when worn under other layers.
Is this base layer suitable for cold weather?
It is designed for temperature regulation, making it suitable for moderate conditions or as a base layer in colder weather to add warmth without bulk. Vented underarms help prevent overheating.
What does '360° stretch' mean?
This refers to the fabric's ability to stretch in all directions, providing a full range of motion and a comfortable, non-restrictive fit that moves with your body.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the LeMieux sizing chart. The 360° stretch fabric should offer a comfortable fit; if it feels overly tight, consider sizing up.
Base layer is not wicking sweat effectively
Check that the garment is clean. Residue from fabric softeners or detergents can impede wicking performance. Wash according to care instructions without fabric softener.
Chafing occurs during activity
While designed to minimize chafing, individual sensitivity can vary. Ensure the flatlock stitching and seams are positioned comfortably against your skin. Try a different size or consider if it's being worn under a garment with rough seams.
