Women's equestrian vests and riding jackets
HORSE Spirit equestrian vests for women and riding jackets are made for riders who spend frosty mornings at the yard and do not want to choose between warmth and freedom of movement. Most styles pair a quilted, padded panel with stretch sides or sleeves, so they keep you warm without restricting you in the saddle. The cuts are shaped to a woman's figure, and many pieces have a faux-fur trimmed hood and zip pockets.
Puffer vest, hybrid, winter or neoprene jacket: what is the difference?
Riding vests have a padded, quilted front and stretch sides, leaving your arms completely free. The sport vests come with a faux-fur trimmed hood, while the white vest has no hood and a soft fur trim at the neck. The bold Warrior vests with tiger, zebra or leopard details belong to a limited series.
Hybrid riding jackets combine a padded front with breathable stretch sleeves and sides. They work for schooling and as a layer under a winter coat.
Winter riding jackets are padded, hooded and trimmed with faux fur, protecting you from wind and cold; the black and navy styles are also water-resistant. The brown jacket is longer, with zip and button fastening.
Neoprene jackets have a warming neoprene front and stretch sleeves, in a leopard print or a camouflage of galloping horses.
How to layer and style your riding vest
Wear a thermal riding top with thumbholes under your vest or hybrid jacket for warm yet breathable layering. For matching essentials, including zip-up sweatshirts, explore the BASIC collection.
Beige and white combinations suit white or brown riding leggings, and the Full hybrid jacket also suits white show leggings. The western jacket and the white western vest with a plush collar belong with jeans and a hat – find more in our western riding apparel.
Caring for quilted and neoprene jackets
Before washing, close every zip and empty the pockets – yard pockets tend to hide treats and baler twine. Wash quilted vests and jackets on a delicate cycle at a low temperature without fabric softener, let them dry naturally and shake out the filling. Keep neoprene away from radiators and direct sun. Always follow the care label.
What size riding vest or jacket should I choose?
Should I take the same size as my tops? Usually yes – vests and jackets come in sizes XS–XL. Vests are fitted, so if you wear a thick sweatshirt underneath, consider going up a size. The black winter jacket has a looser cut for layering. Check your measurements against the size guide.
Vest or hybrid jacket? Both have a padded, quilted panel, but the hybrid jacket also covers your arms with stretch sleeves. For the coldest days, choose a winter jacket.
Can I exchange or return a jacket? Yes, within 30 days of delivery.
