Stay dry and protected - with sweat-wicking fabric and UV50+ protection
Sweat-wicking fabric channels moisture away from the skin while the UV50+ classification indicates a high level of sun protection. Vented construction helps pair moisture control with airflow.
Keeps skin drier during intense sessions and reduces direct sun exposure, useful on long training or hacking days.
Freedom to move - with 360° stretch and underarm vents
360° stretch allows the fabric to extend in every direction for unrestricted movement, while vented underarms increase airflow where heat builds. Seams are placed to avoid restricting joint movement.
Supports the dynamic range of motion needed for riding and schooling without tugging or bunching under layers.
Gentle against skin - with ultra soft seams and flat lock stitching
Flat lock stitching keeps seams low profile and reduces raised edges that can rub during repeated motion. Ultra soft seam finishes use smoother materials at contact points.
Reduces the risk of chafing beneath a saddle or close-fitting jacket, making longer sessions more comfortable.
