Product Information
Full details
The LeMieux Classique Base Layer is an essential garment for equestrians and active individuals seeking a blend of thermal regulation and flexibility during intense training sessions or daily yard tasks. Crafted from high-quality, moisture-wicking fleece material, it provides a silky-smooth feel against the skin and includes UPF50+ protection for outdoor activities. While it offers excellent moisture management, it is primarily designed as a foundational piece, so those training in extreme sub-zero conditions may require an additional heavy-duty outer layer.

FAQs
Does the base layer offer warmth?
Yes, it provides a base level of warmth through its fleece material, though it is designed primarily as a technical layer rather than an insulating coat.
Is this suitable for summer riding?
Yes, thanks to the vented underarms, moisture-wicking fabric, and UPF50+ protection, it is well-suited for warmer riding conditions.
Can I tumble dry this garment?
It is highly recommended to avoid tumble drying to protect the stretch and technical properties of the fabric; air-drying is best.
Is the fit true to size?
The Classique Base Layer is designed for a slim, athletic fit to ensure it functions properly as a base layer. If you prefer a looser fit, consider sizing up.
What does the UPF50+ rating mean?
This means the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's rays, offering excellent protection against UV radiation during long days outside.
Troubleshooting
Visible pulling or pilling on fabric
Ensure you are not wearing the base layer against abrasive surfaces or sharp objects; wash inside-out to protect the surface fibers.
Fabric feels damp after use
Check that the garment is not being worn under an non-breathable outer shell; ensure adequate ventilation layers are used.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the longevity of your base layer, always follow the care instructions found on the internal label. It is recommended to wash the garment in cool water with similar colors. Avoid the use of heavy fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the technical moisture-wicking finish of the fleece. For drying, air-drying is preferred over tumble drying to ensure the fabric's elasticity is preserved. The base layer is designed to be highly compatible with other LeMieux technical gear, fitting smoothly underneath most riding jackets or outer shells.
