High-visibility

We say…

Oversized fit with plenty of room for movement and layering. Touch-tape cuffs were particularly useful as sleeves are quite long. Very generous pockets. Thick fleece lining was very warm, so best suited to autumn and winter use. Remained waterproof. A heavyweight coat that didn’t flap around in the wind.

We say…

Consider sizing up if you’re likely to layer underneath. Adjustable cuff and waistband enhanced the fit. Length provided good coverage. Large pockets with sealed zips. Lightweight coat with mesh lining that was very breathable. Totally waterproof and not restrictive.

We say…

True to size with room for layering. Adjustable cuffs allowed for a close fit and zipped rear vents meant the slightly longer style didn’t interfere with the saddle. Pockets were on the smaller side. A mediumweight jacket best suited to autumn/winter use. Waterproof, windproof and comfortable for long rides.

“I used this exercise sheet out on hacks and was really pleased that it didn’t move or slip at all. Because it’s so bright, I felt much more confident on the roads with it on. I liked the way it wraps around the front of my horse so I had high-vis all around. The fastenings for the front section are Velcro and I was very pleased that they didn’t undo, even with uphill trot work. I also used it in the school as a waterproof exercise sheet and found it useful for this, too. It’s quite expensive, but I felt the quality and the fit made it worth the money”

“These bands are easily adjusted and fitted around my horse’s legs with or without boots underneath. They’re fleece-lined, which meant they didn’t rub. They remained in place, even after long hacks with lots of fast work, and didn’t slip down or twist. I liked that they were reflective all the way around, so they really stood out clearly and they washed well.”

“These wraps were very reflective and there was plenty of adjustability in the size, meaning it was easy to use them on different horses. They stayed on well and didn’t slip. They didn’t have any give in them and weren’t padded, so I would have preferred to use them over the top of boots.”

“These were super-visible and seem well-made. Most of the dirt wiped off after use and they washed well. They fitted well over brushing boots, but had a tendency to slip when used alone.”

“The visibility this jacket offers is second to none – it has definitely affected how drivers react to me and even dog walkers seem to be quicker to catch their dogs when they see me coming. I like the underarm vents, as they mean it’s comfy to ride in even on warmer days (although it would be too hot in summer). Everyone at my yard has commented on it and is keen to borrow it. The zipped pockets are a good size. Given the price, I feel it’s missing a couple of features – for example, a zip protector to stop it scratching my face and a zip on the inside mobile phone pocket, plus I found that the inside of the pockets got wet in heavy rain.”
