LeMieux has earnt its fantastic reputation for understanding what equestrians need, and their base layers are a perfect example.

Our collection offers a wide range of choices for both adults and children, with options across long-sleeve and short-sleeve styles. The quarter zip base layer being a popular favourite here!

And with so many stylish colours, it’s easy to coordinate with other LeMieux products like saddle pads, breeches, and riding jackets; so you can not only feel comfortable but look great too.

Features That Make a Great Horse Riding Base Layer

The technical, innovative fabrics used by LeMieux are lightweight, breathable, and quick-drying, so whether you’re working up a sweat in the summer or layering up in the colder months, you get that optimum comfort you've been searching for.

The brand's unique Moisture-Movement System is perfect for equestrians, and paired with anti-microbial material, you’re getting a base layer that’s built for long days in the saddle.

The UV protection is also a real bonus, especially when you’re out in the sun for hours on end. And if you've ever dealt with chafing on a long ride, you'll love the flat, ultra-soft seams - no more annoying rubbing under your arms or across your back.

Your Choice of Baselayers for All Season Riding

When you're choosing the best clothing for riding, you'll have all the seasons on your mind. Here in the countryside we have to deal with every kind of weather, so it's worth stocking up on versatile garments that will see you through everything from icy cold to summer heatwaves.

A well-chosen horse riding base layer can help you do that. It's all about the breathable, moisture-wicking, warmth trapping properties that keep you cool when it's warm, and warm when it's cool. You can wear them on their own or as part of a layering system - that's what's so fantastic about them!

With LeMieux, you've got a choice. You can opt for long sleeve base layers, which are great for cooler weather or when you need extra coverage. The ones in this collection often have the quarter zip too, which means you've got that ventilation around the neck should you need it.

You can also go for short sleeve base layers that are perfect for warm days and more intense activities. The benefit of this style is that it keeps your arms free and cool.

How LeMieux Baselayers Fit

The close, form-fitting design of these classic base layers creates a sleek and athletic look, while allowing you the flexibility you need to get through your day. Because the material is stretchy and sweat wicking, you can enjoy comfort without that too-tight feeling.

Riders often appreciate the second-skin feel of these tops, which can be worn on their own during warmer weather or layered up under your riding jacket when it’s cold.

What Sizes Are Available?

LeMieux base layers are available in sizes ranging from UK 6 to 18 for adults, and there are kids base layers too.

Most riders find their usual size works well, but if you prefer a looser fit, consider sizing up. We always recommend checking the sizing charts for each product, and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to our customer service team. We're here to help you!

Caring for Your LeMieux Base Layers

The great news is that taking care of your baselayers super easy since they’re machine washable. Just remember to check the label for any specific instructions.

For best results, turn the item inside out before popping it in the wash, and use a gentle cycle with cold water. To keep those technical fibres performing as they should, skip the fabric softeners as they can impact breathability.

When it’s time to dry, simply let them air dry naturally - no radiators or tumble dryers needed. Once they’re dry, store them in a cool, dry place and you're all set!

Are LeMieux Base Layers Just for Horse Riding?

These base layers bring together the perfect blend of practical performance for equestrians and exceptional comfort for everyday wear. 

While they are designed with riders in mind (it's LeMieux, after all!), their technical fabric, breathability, and comfortable fit make them ideal for all sorts of outdoor activities. You’ll get a full range of movement, whether you're hiking, running, cycling, or even just spending a day out walking the dog.
