FAQs
Is this base layer warm enough for winter?
It is designed as a technical base layer. While it offers thermal regulation, it is best used as part of a layering system under a jacket or gilet during colder months.
What does the UV50+ protection do?
The fabric is treated to block 98% of UVA and UVB rays, providing essential protection for riders who spend long hours outdoors.
How should the base layer fit?
It is intended to be a slim-fit garment to allow the moisture-wicking fabric to sit close to the skin, which maximizes its performance.
Can I wear this for activities other than horse riding?
Yes, its technical features make it suitable for a variety of outdoor activities such as hiking, gym workouts, or general athletic use.
Does the zip cause irritation at the neck?
The collar is designed with soft internal finishes to ensure the quarter-zip does not rub or irritate the neck area.
Troubleshooting
Fabric snagging
Avoid contact with sharp surfaces like Velcro on riding gloves or bridle parts to maintain the integrity of the material.
Stains appearing on the fabric
Treat organic stains immediately with a gentle laundry soap before washing; avoid harsh chemical bleaches that might damage the UV protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your base layer, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30 degrees Celsius. Turn the garment inside out to protect the logo and fabric surface.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can degrade the elasticity and technical moisture-wicking properties.
- Ironing: Avoid ironing directly over the matte logo and synthetic fabric areas.
- Compatibility: This piece is designed to coordinate with the wider LeMieux Classique Collection, making it easy to create a matching set with other equestrian apparel. It is sized standard to UK dress sizes (e.g., UK 18), providing a tailored fit.
