Product Information
Full details
The LeMieux Classique Base Layer is designed for active equestrians who require a versatile garment that transitions seamlessly from stable chores to the saddle. Its primary benefit is the combination of moisture-wicking temperature regulation and unrestricted stretch, making it an essential piece for year-round training; however, users should note that as a lightweight base layer, it is best utilized as part of a layering system in extreme cold rather than as a standalone outerwear piece.

FAQs
Is this base layer suitable for summer wear?
Yes, it features UPF50+ sun protection and vented underarms, making it an excellent choice for summer riding.
How should the base layer fit?
It is designed to be a close-fit garment to effectively wick moisture from the skin, but the four-way stretch prevents it from feeling restrictive.
Can I use fabric softener when washing this?
It is recommended to avoid fabric softener as it can degrade the technical moisture-wicking properties of the synthetic fabric.
Does the purple color fade easily?
Following the care label and washing inside out will help preserve the vibrancy of the color over time.
Is the zip comfortable against the neck?
The quarter zip is designed with a protective guard to ensure it remains comfortable when fully zipped.
Troubleshooting
Fabric snagging
Avoid contact with sharp tack, fence wire, or grooming tools while wearing the garment to maintain the smooth finish.
Sweat not wicking properly
Ensure your outer layers are also breathable; if the outer layer is non-breathable plastic, the sweat will trap against the skin regardless of the base layer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your base layer, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild, non-biological detergent to maintain the integrity of the technical fibers.
- Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the fabric from losing its elasticity.
- Ironing: Avoid ironing over the matte logo print to prevent damage.
- Compatibility: This garment is designed to fit under any standard mid-layer, gilet, or technical jacket. For best results, pair with other moisture-wicking apparel to maintain the 'cool and dry' performance benefit.
