Hy Equestrian Elevate Aurora Base Layer Riding Top
Description
Hy Equestrian Elevate Aurora Base Layer
The Hy Equestrian Elevate Aurora Base Layer is a lightweight, four-way stretch riding top with a quarter-zip neckline, designed to be worn as a close-fitting first layer under jackets, gilets or a body protector. It is best for riders who want moisture-wicking, breathable performance wear that works equally well for schooling at home, yard work and competition days.
The technical fabric offers a second-skin fit that moves effortlessly with the body, while the athletic, sculpted cut keeps a flattering silhouette without adding bulk under outer layers.

How to Use
- Check your usual chest measurement against the size guide - this is a close-fitting base layer, so size up if you prefer a looser feel.
- Wear it next to the skin as your first layer so the fabric can wick moisture effectively.
- Adjust the quarter zip up for warmth in cold weather, or down to vent heat during schooling and warm-up.
- Layer a jacket, gilet or body protector over the top - the sculpted cut sits flat and will not bunch.
- Wash cool with similar colours and skip fabric conditioner, which can coat the fibres and reduce wicking.
- Dry away from direct heat and radiators to protect the stretch of the fabric.
FAQ
Is the Hy Equestrian Elevate Aurora Base Layer true to size?
It is cut with an athletic, sculpted fit that sits close to the body. If you prefer a more relaxed feel, or plan to wear another layer underneath, choose the next size up.
Can it be worn under a body protector?
Yes. The lightweight, low-bulk fabric and flat sculpted cut are designed to layer under jackets, gilets and body protectors without bunching.
Is this base layer suitable for summer riding?
Yes. The fabric is lightweight, breathable and moisture wicking, so it helps draw sweat away from the skin in warmer weather as well as providing a warm layer in winter.
What does the quarter zip do?
The quarter-zip neckline lets you open or close the collar to control ventilation, which is useful when conditions change between warm-up, work and cooling off.
How should I wash it?
Machine wash cool with similar colours, avoid fabric conditioner so the wicking performance is maintained, and dry away from direct heat.
Is it suitable for competition as well as schooling?
Yes. The polished quarter-zip finish and sculpted shape suit competition environments, everyday schooling and general yard work alike.
