What Makes Good Country Jackets for Horse Riding?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For equestrians who have their own horse or work in a stable yard during the winter, it is a priority that their jacket is hard-wearing and durable. It also needs to keep them dry in wet weather and keep them comfortable and warm, especially in frostier climates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waterproofness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The perfect equestrian coat and country-style jacket focuses on providing the wearer with high levels of protection against the elements. If you are spending a lot of time outdoors during the winter months, then you are likely to be out in the rain on many of those days, so it is essential to choose a jacket with a high waterproof rating. The higher a jacket\u2019s waterproof rating, the more protection you will have. Any garment with a waterproof rating between 1,500mm and 2,000mm is classed as waterproof, however, it will only be suitable for everyday use in light to moderate rain. For days spent outside in persistent moderate to heavy rain, consider a rating of up to 5,000mm or above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some horse riding coats are also engineered with taped seams which prevent the ingress of water through the stitching, to ensure the garment is 100% waterproof. It is vital to choose a jacket with taped seams if you are regularly out in prolonged, heavy rain.<\/p>\n\n\n

Insulation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For those spending time outdoors where the temperatures are close to freezing, a warm jacket with insulation is essential. Most modern coats and jackets feature synthetic padded fills that provide high levels of warmth with lightweight, minimal bulk. Down is a popular insulation too, as it has unique properties that make it highly effective with an impressive warmth-to-weight ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are someone who feels the cold, a heated jacket is the answer! Powered by rechargeable power banks, heated jackets from brands including Equetech<\/a> and HKM<\/a> will keep you toasty all day long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extra Features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When choosing a jacket to wear around the horses or when in the saddle, look out for the right fit and for those little features that will enhance your comfort, safety and enjoyment. An effective layering system is crucial to staying warm during the winter, so make sure you have room under your coat to add and remove layers as needed. Also consider whether you will be wearing a body protector underneath, as you won’t want your jacket to sit too tightly over the top and restrict movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also important to consider whether or not you need a hood. Adjustable hoods will allow you to ensure your hood fits perfectly, while a detachable hood is great as it can be removed from your jacket when you head out for a ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wrist gaiters or touch-close fastenings on the ends of the sleeves are also important, as they stop moisture and chills from creeping in and prevent your body heat from escaping. A storm flap over the main zip at the front of the jacket will also keep the elements at bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The length of the jacket you need is down to personal preference. You always want a jacket to cover your lower back even when you lift your arms up. Many equestrian jackets are designed with a slightly longer back to prevent there being a gap between your trousers and the jacket should it ride up. This is especially important for horse riders when they bend forward over a jump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long parkas and oversized-style jackets are perfect for exceptionally bad winter weather, or for trainers who spend a lot of time teaching out in the cold. These coats cover your thighs for extra warmth and comfort. If you are looking for a longer-length jacket to wear out horse riding, ensure you choose one with a rear riding vent. These back gussets open out to allow you the flexibility to sit in the saddle comfortably and provide extra coverage and protection from the rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite being functional and high-performing, a country jacket can also be super trendy too! With style features such as faux fur hood trims and patterned quilting, these thoughtful details will make you look as good as you feel. They also make the jacket great for both casual and equestrian outdoor wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
