LeMieux Classique Quarter Zip Base Layer Riding Top
Description
LeMieux Classique Base Layer - UV50+ Quarter Zip Riding Top
The LeMieux Classique Base Layer is a technical quarter zip riding top made from UV50+, sweat-wicking fabric with 360 degree stretch. It is designed for riders who want one layer that works for schooling, hacking, competition warm-ups and yard work, worn on its own or under a fleece, jacket or gilet.
Temperature-regulating fabric and vented underarms help keep you cool and dry, while ultra-soft seams and flat lock stitching keep chafing and bulk to a minimum. It is best for riders who layer year-round and want a slim, non-bulky base that coordinates with the rest of the LeMieux Classique Collection.

How to Use
- Choose your usual size for a close, next-to-skin layering fit, or size up if you prefer a looser feel.
- Wear it directly against the skin so the sweat-wicking fabric can do its job.
- Adjust the quarter zip up or down to fine-tune ventilation as your session warms up.
- Layer a fleece, jacket or gilet over the top in colder weather - the flat seams keep bulk low.
- Machine wash cool with similar colours after use, skip the fabric conditioner and dry naturally.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the LeMieux Classique Base Layer suitable for summer riding?
Yes. The UV50+ fabric offers sun protection, the underarms are vented and the fabric is sweat-wicking, so it suits warm-weather schooling and hacking as well as cooler-day layering.
What size should I order?
Order your usual size for a streamlined base layer fit that sits close to the skin. Size up if you like a looser feel or intend to wear it over a sports top. The 360 degree stretch means you do not need to size up simply for freedom of movement.
Can it be worn under a jacket or fleece?
Yes. The silky-smooth fabric, ultra-soft seams and flat lock stitches keep bulk to a minimum, so it layers neatly under a fleece, jacket or gilet without rubbing.
How should I wash it?
Machine wash cool with similar colours and avoid fabric conditioner, which can coat technical fibres and reduce wicking performance. Do not tumble dry.
Does it match other LeMieux products?
It is designed to coordinate with the Classique Collection in the most popular LeMieux colours, so it can be paired with matching rider apparel and horsewear.
Is it suitable for competition warm-ups?
It works well as a warm-up and training layer. Always check your discipline's current dress rules before wearing a base layer in the ring.
