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 next to the skin as a technical base layer. It suits riders of all disciplines who want a close, second-skin fit that moves with the body while schooling, competing or working at the yard.
Moisture-wicking, breathable fabric helps regulate body temperature by drawing sweat away from the skin, and the sculpted athletic cut layers neatly under a jacket, gilet or body protector. It is best for riders who want performance fabric with a tidy, modern equestrian look.

How to Use
- Choose your usual size for a true technical fit, or size up if you prefer a looser feel or plan to wear a thin layer underneath.
- Pull the base layer on as your first layer, next to the skin, so the fabric can wick moisture effectively.
- Open the quarter zip while warming up or on milder days, and close it for wind protection and a tidy finish.
- Add a jacket, gilet or correctly fitted body protector over the top as conditions require.
- Wash cool with similar colours after use, skip the fabric conditioner to protect the wicking finish, and dry away from direct heat.

FAQ
Is the Hy Equestrian Elevate Aurora Base Layer true to size?
It is cut as a close, sculpted second-skin fit. Most riders find their usual size correct, including under a jacket or body protector. If you want a more relaxed feel, or will wear a thin layer underneath, choose the next size up.
Can it be worn under a body protector?
Yes. The slim, sculpted cut and four-way stretch fabric are designed to layer smoothly under jackets, gilets and body protectors without bunching. A body protector should always be properly fitted by a BETA-trained fitter.
Is it warm enough for winter riding?
It is a lightweight base layer rather than a standalone winter top. Worn next to the skin under a jacket or gilet it helps manage moisture and temperature, which is what keeps you comfortable on cold days.
How do I wash it?
Wash cool with like colours and dry naturally away from direct heat. Avoid fabric conditioner, as it can coat technical fibres and reduce the moisture-wicking performance.
Is it suitable for competition days?
Yes. The quarter-zip neckline and sleek finish give a polished look in the collecting ring, and it sits neatly under a show or competition jacket.
Does it suit all disciplines?
Yes. It is intended as an all-round riding base layer for schooling, hacking, jumping, dressage and general yard work.
