LeMieux Young Rider Classique Short Sleeve Base Layer
Description
LeMieux Young Rider Classique Short Sleeve Base Layer
The LeMieux Young Rider Classique Short Sleeve Base Layer is a technical UV50+ quarter zip riding top made for children and teenage riders. It is best for warm-weather schooling, summer hacking, pony club and show days, and layers neatly under a fleece, jacket or gilet when the weather turns.
The fabric regulates body temperature, wicks sweat away from the skin and is anti-microbial, while vented underarms and 360 degree stretch keep young riders cool, dry and free to move. A contrast matte logo print gives a subtle finish that coordinates with the wider Classique Collection.

How to Use
- Check the young rider's chest measurement or age against the size guide before ordering.
- Wear next to the skin so the fabric can wick sweat away effectively.
- Open the quarter zip for extra ventilation when working in, and close it for more coverage when cooling off.
- Layer under a fleece, jacket or gilet in cooler weather, or wear alone on warm days.
- Wash according to the care label, avoiding fabric conditioner and high heat, which can reduce wicking performance.
FAQ
What size should I order for a young rider?
Base layers are cut close to the body so the fabric sits against the skin and wicks sweat. Measure the chest and compare it with the LeMieux young rider size guide. If your rider is between sizes or growing quickly, size up for a slightly looser fit.
Can it be worn on its own in summer?
Yes. The short sleeves, UV50+ fabric and vented underarms make it suitable to wear alone for schooling, hacking and yard work in warm weather.
Will it feel bulky under a jacket?
No. The silky-smooth fabric, ultra-soft seams and flat lock stitches keep bulk to a minimum, so it layers smoothly under a fleece, jacket or gilet.
Does the fabric stretch when riding?
It offers 360 degree stretch, so the shoulders and arms can move freely through rising trot, jumping and groundwork without the top pulling.
How should it be washed?
Follow the care label on the garment. Wash at a low temperature, avoid fabric conditioner and do not tumble dry on high heat, as this can affect the wicking and anti-microbial finish.
Does it match other LeMieux items?
Yes. It is designed to coordinate with the Classique Collection in the most popular LeMieux colours, so it can be matched with other rider apparel and horse wear from the range.
