FAQs
What is the primary function of the LeMieux Classique Base Layer?
Its primary functions are to regulate body temperature, wick away sweat, and provide UV50+ sun protection, enhancing comfort during equestrian activities.
Can I wear this base layer on its own?
While possible, it is designed as a technical layer to be worn under other garments like fleeces, jackets, or gilets for optimal performance and coordination within the LeMieux Classique Collection.
How does the sweat-wicking feature work?
The technical fabric is engineered to draw moisture away from your skin to the outer surface of the garment, where it can evaporate more easily, keeping you dry.
Is this base layer suitable for all weather conditions?
It is versatile, offering cooling and sun protection in warmer weather and acting as a breathable thermal layer in cooler conditions when layered appropriately.
What does '360° stretch' mean for the wearer?
'360° stretch' means the fabric can stretch in all directions, providing maximum freedom of movement and comfort without restriction.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the brand's sizing guide. The base layer should fit snugly but comfortably to allow the technical features to work effectively and reduce chafing.
What should I do if the garment loses its elasticity?
Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely, especially avoiding heat and fabric softeners, which can degrade elasticity. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Troubleshooting
Base layer feels less breathable over time.
Ensure you are not using fabric softener during washing, as this can clog the fabric's pores. Wash with appropriate non-biological detergent and consider a gentle rinse cycle.
Chafing despite flat-lock seams.
Verify the size is correct and not too tight. Ensure the garment is smooth against the skin without wrinkles. Check for any stray threads or rough spots on the seams.
Reduced UV protection after multiple washes.
Follow care instructions diligently. Avoid harsh detergents and high heat drying, which can degrade the fabric's protective qualities over time. If damage is suspected, consider replacement.
