LeMieux Mini Classique Kids Quarter Zip Base Layer
Description
LeMieux Mini Classique Base Layer for Young Riders
The LeMieux Mini Classique Base Layer is a children's quarter zip riding top made from UV50+ technical fabric that regulates body temperature and wicks sweat away from the skin. It is best for young riders who need one layer that works for lessons, groundwork, hacking and show days, worn on its own in warmer weather or under a fleece, jacket or gilet when it turns cold.
With 360 degree stretch, vented underarms and flat lock stitching, it moves with the rider and keeps bulk to a minimum. A contrast matte logo print gives the subtle finish expected from LeMieux, and the colours coordinate with the rest of the Classique Collection.

How to Use
- Check your child's chest measurement against the size chart before ordering, and size up if they are between sizes or growing quickly.
- Wear it next to the skin as a first layer, so the wicking fabric can do its job.
- Open the quarter zip during active work such as schooling or lunging, and zip it up on cold mornings for extra neck cover.
- Add a fleece, jacket or gilet over the top in winter, the low-bulk seams keep layering comfortable.
- Machine wash cool with like colours, skip the fabric conditioner and dry naturally away from direct heat.

FAQ
Is the Mini Classique Base Layer meant to fit tightly?
Yes, base layers are designed to sit close to the skin so the fabric can wick sweat effectively. It will feel more fitted than a normal T-shirt, but the 360 degree stretch keeps it comfortable.
What size should I order if my child is between sizes?
Choose the larger size. This gives room for growth and allows thicker layers underneath during winter without restricting movement.
Can it be worn in summer as well as winter?
Yes. The technical fabric regulates body temperature and the vented underarms plus UV50+ cover make it suitable on its own in warmer weather, while it layers neatly under a fleece or jacket in the cold.
Will it chafe under a body protector or jacket?
The silky-smooth fabric, ultra-soft seams and flat lock stitches are designed to reduce chafing and keep bulk to a minimum, which helps when other kit is worn over the top.
How should I wash it?
Machine wash cool with similar colours, avoid fabric conditioner as it can coat the fibres and reduce wicking, and dry naturally rather than tumble drying.
Does it match other LeMieux products?
Yes, it is made in popular LeMieux colours designed to coordinate with the wider Classique Collection.
