Product Information
Full details
The LeMieux Mini Base Layer is a versatile technical garment designed specifically for active children, making it an essential piece for young equestrian riders or outdoor enthusiasts. Its primary benefit lies in the combination of moisture-wicking properties and 360-degree stretch, ensuring comfort during physical activity and ease of movement; however, users should note that the lightweight fleece-feel fabric is intended primarily for layering, so it may require additional outerwear in extreme cold.

FAQs
Can this be worn as a standalone top?
Yes, it is designed with UV50+ protection, making it suitable for wearing on its own during warm, sunny days.
Is this garment machine washable?
Yes, it can be machine washed at 30°C. We recommend air drying to preserve the stretch and moisture-wicking capabilities.
Does it come in different sizes?
Yes, the LeMieux Mini range is available in various children's UK sizes, typically spanning from age 3 to 10.
Is the material heavy?
No, it is made from a lightweight, silky material designed to be thin enough for comfortable layering without adding bulk.
What is the primary benefit of the flatlock seams?
The flatlock seams are designed to lie flat against the skin, which minimizes bulk and prevents chafing during active movement.
Is the fabric suitable for winter use?
It serves as an excellent moisture-wicking base layer in the winter, but it should be worn under a fleece or jacket for added warmth.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after intense activity
Ensure the base layer is worn directly against the skin so the moisture-wicking technology can function correctly.
Stitching irritation
Ensure the garment is sized correctly to prevent the seams from pulling against the skin during movement.
Garment losing elasticity over time
Avoid using fabric softeners during the wash cycle, as they can clog the fibers and reduce the efficiency of the material's performance features.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The base layer is a pull-on garment and requires no special setup. It is fully compatible with most standard children's equestrian attire, including breeches and riding vests. To maintain the integrity of the technical fabric, machine wash on a cool setting (typically 30°C) with similar colors. It is highly recommended to avoid bleach and to let the garment air dry, as high heat from a tumble dryer can compromise the stretch properties and moisture-wicking finish of the material.
