Base layers for XC

[{97702}]

Who has one, and are they really better to ride in than my usual polo shirt?

I am wondering about going all burgundy matchy-matchy for Jensen's XC colours - or maybe plum - I don't know, I can't decide....

base layer are waaay better to ride in then polo shirts. a lot more breathable, lighter and give you more movement. I just buy cheap ones from sport shops sales - any of the horse brands cost a fortune more. I go through so many during the week that I just buy cheap ones in nice colours and wear them with a gilet

Great thanks I'm now having a nightmare finding a burgundy base layer shirt that actually matches any burgundy saddle pad I can find.... who knew there were so many versions of burgundy

Sorry to jump in but are there any that are better for short riders? I find most of them are way to long on the body and arms for me.

i get mine from Custom XC they are really good quality and you can play around with the designs before you buy - they have tonnes of colour combinations too

I don't really do XC but I love the Noble Outfitters base layers (good for us shorties too Bernster)

have a look at Optimum Equestrian - they do a very lovely burgundy base layer

another vote for decathlon for XC base layers, especially if you can fit into the boys14 football and rugby selection of layers, great value,

These do look nice so might try one. I did find the colour set I wanted through stylish steeds. I've not heard of them before but I had a specific colour and pattern that I couldn't find anywhere else.
