A reliable long sleeve base layer is a staple in every rider’s wardrobe. Whether you’re schooling on chilly mornings, hacking out in changeable weather or working on the yard, these layers offer the perfect blend of warmth, comfort and freedom to move.

Designed for performance in all conditions, our long sleeve base layers are tailored to suit the everyday needs of UK equestrians - combining technical fabrics with rider-specific fit.

Why Choose an Equestrian Base Layer?

Unlike standard thermals or sports tops, equestrian base layers are made with the needs of riders in mind. They’re crafted to sit comfortably under gilets, fleeces or jackets without restricting movement or causing overheating.

Look for features like:

• Breathable, moisture-wicking fabric to keep you dry during intense sessions

• Four-way stretch for flexibility while riding or working around the yard

• Flat seams for a close fit that won’t rub under your outer layers

• Quick-drying materials to make everyday care simple

Whether you’re in the saddle or on your feet, these base layers are built for practicality and performance in real British weather.

Year-Round Comfort with Equestrian Base Layers

Long sleeve base layers aren’t just for winter. They’re ideal year-round as part of a layering system that adapts to whatever your day brings. In cold weather, they provide essential warmth under thicker layers. In milder months, they’re light enough to wear alone while offering sun protection and sweat management.

This versatility makes them perfect for:

• Daily schooling and flatwork

• Layering under waterproofs on wet hacks

• Staying warm while mucking out or lunging

• Cool-weather clinics or riding lessons

With designs to suit every style - from sleek and sporty to subtle and understated - you can find a base layer that works with the rest of your riding gear.

Designed for Busy Equestrians

We know life at the yard is non-stop. That’s why our long sleeve base layers are made to be low-maintenance. Most options are machine washable, quick-drying, and built to keep their shape, even after frequent use.

Look for high collars for extra warmth, deep cuffs to stay snug under gloves, and streamlined silhouettes that won’t bunch up under mid-layers or jackets. These thoughtful details make a real difference when you’re wearing your base layer all day long.

Complete Your Riding Wardrobe

A base layer is the foundation of a comfortable ride - but the right supporting kit helps you go further. For all-day comfort in the saddle, team your long sleeve base layer with a pair of riding tights. Designed with stretch, support and grip in mind, riding tights offer a close, flexible fit that complements your base layer perfectly. Whether you're heading out for a hack or spending the day on the yard, this combination gives you the freedom to move and the comfort to stay focused.

Whether you’re building your first riding outfit or updating your cold-weather kit, these long sleeve base layers are a practical and stylish place to start.
