Gilets

Horse Riding Gilets

Over time, Riding Gilets have become an essential part of equestrians' daily attire. They are versatile and comfortable. Some are so stylish that many people use them outside the barn as fine casual clothing. At Discount Equestrian, we are horse owners ourselves, so we are aware of horsepersons’ needs and face the same challenges, just like you. That’s why we are continuously searching for the best, most practical, and most stylish products for our customers, in this case, Horse Riding Gilets.

Being an equestrian involves more than just riding; one minute, you are tacking up your horse, the next moment, you are riding, and suddenly, you find yourself grooming your horse or doing other chores until maybe you are riding another horse -you never stop-. The body experiences sudden temperature changes, not to mention unpredictable weather. In locations like the UK, sometimes you don’t know if you should grab a sunscreen tube or a raincoat, or both. Equestrian Gilets are perfect to help regulate the body temperature, minimizing the impact of temperature changes that could otherwise affect riders’ comfort and potentially their health. Besides providing warmth, they are excellent for riding because they don’t restrict movement and leave the arms free, providing a unique sense of freedom.

Thanks to modern materials, Riding Gilets are light, providing the same warmth as heavier and bulkier clothes, and offer excellent wind protection. Some Horse Riding Gilets are also water-resistant even when they allow your skin to breathe. Another valuable feature of Riding Gilets is pockets, often scarce in riding clothes. Some designs are more focused on riding, featuring a tighter fit, while others are designed as multi-purpose garments. Some designs are made of reflective materials or include reflective strips, which are especially practical for safe trail riding, endurance races, and other activities that require riding near vehicles or open roads. Horse Riding Gilets can be layered on top of other clothing or worn under jackets, catering to different weather conditions.

Equestrian Gilets & Body Warmers

Riding Gilets, also known as Horse Riding Body Warmers, became so popular that they come in various colours, styles, and designs to suit everyone’s tastes and preferences. Some are tailored for specific equestrian disciplines or activities, while others offer a more casual or fashionable look, ready to wear on social activities or to hang out with fellow equestrians and share a good time after a busy day.

Equestrian Gilets are excellent when you want to take your horse for a walk outside the arena after an exhausting training session, keeping your body protected and warm even if you get surprised by a chilly current during your ride.

At Discount Equestrian, we have a broad selection of Horse Riding Gilets or Body Warmers in multiple colours and styles to suit your needs. Check our women, men, and children models; we have the best prices and delivery service in the market. Below, you will find some suggestions and ideas from our Team about these amazing Riding Gilets that are so useful to keep you cozy in the arena, barn, or even going out with friends.
