Quillah Women’s Zip Base Layer
Women’s quarter-zip base layer for polo and horse riding — built on an ancient principle.
Quillah takes its name from the quillango, the guanaco skin cape worn by the Selk’nam women of Tierra del Fuego, worn fur-side inward directly against the skin. The first garment of warmth. That same principle, a layer closest to the body that protects, breathes and moves with you, is what Quillah is built on today. A women’s long sleeve quarter-zip base layer in superwash Merino Wool, designed for the polo player and the equestrian rider in chilly conditions. Sits comfortably under polo whites. Goes straight in the machine when the day is done.

The superwash treatment makes the Merino Wool fully machine washable, no shrinkage, no special handling. The natural performance properties of Merino Wool, with the practicality that polo players and riders need.
Merino Wool responds to your body, insulating when you are still, releasing heat efficiently when you are riding hard. Designed for the variable conditions of a polo match or a long morning’s ride in late winter or early spring.
Wicks perspiration away from the skin and disperses it efficiently across the fabric surface. You stay dry and comfortable whether you are warming up or riding at full pace.
Merino Wool fibre naturally inhibits bacterial growth, the cause of odour in synthetic base layers. Quillah stays fresh across multiple wears and long days at the yard without any chemical finish.
11% elastane delivers stretch in every direction and full shape recovery. Complete freedom of movement through the swing, the reach and the gallop, wear after wear, season after season.
