' The purpose of Body Base is to transport moisture away from the skin during exercise. Body Base achieves this through it's moisture-wicking properties that draw sweat away from the skin so it can evaporate at a faster rate than conventional base layers. Body Base has the advantage over garments made with natural fibres such as cotton, as these cannot achieve the same rate of evaporation due to their high absorbency. The benefit of wearing Body Base is to conserves energy by regulating the body temperature & ensuring the rider is not carrying around any excess moisture. This enables the rider to concentrate their energies on performing at their best. To work effectively, Body Base should be worn next to the skin. Who's wearing Body Base? Body Base is worn by the 'who's who' of domestic & international equestrian sport. Ruth Edge, Karen O' Connor, Jan Byyny, Julie Tew, Jamie Atkinson...'
