Summer riding jackets as an indispensable item
Have you ever had the experience of going for a ride in sunny weather only to start shivering within the first few metres of riding in the open countryside? Wind or shade often cause surprising temperature differences. With light summer riding jackets from Horze, you can ride in comfort year round. Enjoy great materials, figure-hugging cuts and freedom of movement in the saddle. Waterproof summer riding jackets ensure you'll be protected in case of a sudden downpour, too. Have a browse through our collection. You're sure to find the colour that perfectly matches your saddle pads, complements your breeches and makes you look great on the horse and on the ground.
Which horse riding jackets are suitable for summer?
The ideal summer riding jacket has a removable lining that is not too thick. You can then easily adjust your lightweight riding jacket according to weather conditions. The removable lining means, a spring riding jacket can quickly become a summer riding jacket, making your jacket more versatile. An alternative is to buy two riding jackets: one with a thin lining for spring and autumn and a thinner, unlined riding jacket especially for summer. But even a thin riding jacket should be breathable, water-repellent or waterproof, and windproof. Several outer pockets and at least one inner pocket are always useful. A hood is certainly not a bad idea, especially for a spring riding jacket. Detachable or retractable hoods are a particularly good choice. As riding jackets tend to get dirty, choose one that is easily machine washable.
