What were your first impressions? “I really wanted to test this coat as I had heard such great reviews. I really loved the storm cuffs and the length of it as even though I’m quite tall (5’9) it still gave me adequate protection and length.”
How was the sizing & fit? “It is a really flattering fit especially with the adjustable waist. I got a size small and I think it fits well with room to fit a jumper underneath if I need it.
How did you test the product? “I wear this coat almost everyday at the yard. To turnout, muckout and ride in, especially when its raining! It keeps me really warm and the hood is a great size to keep the rain off your face. We have had quite a lot of wind at the moment and the high collar is really good at keeping the wind off my neck which I really love. This coat to ride in is amazing as the magnetic rear riding seam is great to ensure that it fits over my saddle beautifully while I’m not afraid that any zip will be scratching the back of my saddle. I also really like that even in rising trot it still protects my saddle from the rain. The sleeves are also a really good length as I find that when I am riding in some coats they can be a little short.
Any other comments? “This is my favourite go-to coat and I’m sure it will stand the true test of a british winter really well. I would recommend this coat to anybody looking for a high-functioning yet flattering and warm riding coat this winter”
