LeMieux Young Rider Classique UV50+ Base Layer Top
Description
LeMieux Young Rider Classique Base Layer
The LeMieux Young Rider Classique Base Layer is a UV50+ quarter zip long sleeve riding top made from technical, sweat-wicking stretch fabric. It is designed for young riders who need one layer that works for schooling, hacking, lunging, competing and yard work in every season.
Best for riders who overheat in cotton tops: the fabric helps regulate body temperature, vented underarms add airflow, and 360 degree stretch keeps movement unrestricted in the saddle. Flat lock stitching and ultra-soft seams keep bulk down under a fleece, jacket or gilet, and the colours coordinate with the rest of the LeMieux Classique Collection.

How to Use
- Measure the chest and compare against the young rider size chart before choosing a size.
- Wear next to the skin so the fabric can wick sweat away effectively.
- Open the quarter zip to release heat during faster work, and close it when standing around or hacking out in cooler air.
- Layer a fleece, jacket or gilet over the top in winter, or wear on its own for summer schooling.
- Wash with similar colours after use, skip the fabric conditioner and dry naturally to protect the wicking finish.
FAQ
What size should a young rider order in this base layer?
Base layers are cut close to the body so they can wick sweat, so measure the chest and check the young rider size chart rather than guessing from everyday clothing. Riders between sizes, or those who prefer a looser feel over a shirt, should size up.
Can it be worn in summer as well as winter?
Yes. The technical fabric helps regulate body temperature and the vented underarms plus quarter zip allow heat to escape, so it works as a standalone summer top or as a layer under a fleece, jacket or gilet in winter.
Does it have sun protection?
The fabric is UV50+, which gives useful cover during long days in the arena, at shows or working outside on the yard.
Will it rub or chafe under a jacket?
The fabric is silky-smooth with ultra-soft seams and flat lock stitches, which reduce chafing and keep bulk to a minimum when layered.
Does it match other LeMieux kit?
Yes. It is designed to coordinate with the Classique Collection in the most popular LeMieux colours, so it can be matched with saddle pads and other rider wear.
How should it be washed?
Wash with similar colours and follow the sewn-in care label. Avoid fabric conditioner, which can coat technical fibres and reduce wicking performance.
