Design Notes
The Classique base layer uses a close-cut silhouette with a quarter-zip front and chin guard. Vented underarm panels increase airflow, while the main body fabric provides stretch and moisture control. Flat-lock seams reduce bulk under outer layers, and a matte LeMieux logo adds a subtle branded finish.
Materials
Constructed from a technical blend of 82% nylon and 18% elastane chosen for UV protection, moisture control and flexibility. Underarm panels use the same stretch fabric with venting for airflow. Seams are finished with flat-lock stitching.
