As the seasons change, so should your riding wardrobe. Building a waterproof and warm winter riding wardrobe involves layering items like Waterproof Coats and Trousers over moisture-wicking Base Layers, Zip-Ups and Leggings.
If your winter riding wardrobe could use a refresh, here’s our quick guide to the must-haves for riding through the colder months.
Waterproof Coats That Perform
A reliable Waterproof Coat or Jacket is the cornerstone of any winter riding outfit. It’s what keeps you warm, dry, and focused on your ride, no matter what the weather throws your way. When choosing a winter coat, it’s important to find one with a high waterproof rating, which is fully breathable and layer-friendly.
EQUIDRY’s extensive range of Oversized Coats are perfect for the British weather. With dark evenings, the Reflective Evolution Oversized Coat ticks all the boxes for riders who spend long hours outside. This full-length performance coat keeps you warm, dry, and visible thanks to its intelligent design and advanced technology:
-
20,000mm waterproof rating to protect against even the heaviest rain
-
8,000 g/m² breathability and fleece-lining for warmth and comfort
-
Reflective trims, logos, and storm skirts that enhance visibility and coverage
-
Oversized fit that layers easily over body protectors or thick jumpers
-
Leg straps and adjustable cuffs for security and practicality
From dark, early mornings to windswept evening hacks, the Reflective Evolution Coat ensures you stay warm and dry from the first ride of the day to the last.
Layers For Cold-Weather Comfort
When it comes to warmth, it’s what’s underneath that counts. With their stylish, practical designs, EQUIDRY’s Water-Repellent Base Layers and Zip-Ups are great additions for any active winter wardrobe.
Zip-Ups & Base Layers
Even in cold weather, riding can make you break a sweat. Breathable fabrics in EQUIDRY’s Base Layers wick away moisture to prevent overheating and the post-ride chill once you cool down. Their soft, stretchy fabric moves with you, keeping you comfortable whether you’re schooling in the arena or working on the yard.
Layer up with our lightweight Zip-Ups that are perfect for wearing over your matching EQUIDRY Base Layer on milder days, or as a middle-layer under your coat for extra warmth. Crafted from high-performance, water-repellent fabric, the material keeps you dry and protected in light rain or damp conditions, making it perfect for all-weather rides.
Full Seat & Knee Grip Leggings
EQUIDRY’s Water-Repellent Riding Leggings combine comfort, performance, and practicality. Made from durable, four-way stretch polyester/elastane, the Leggings move with you, providing maximum flexibility in the saddle.
Additional features include:
-
Breathable fabric to prevent overheating
-
Branded silicone knee or full-seat grip for enhanced stability and control
-
Secure phone pocket for convenience on the move
-
UV40+ protection for summer rides
Waterproof Trousers For Complete Protection
For heavier rain, EQUIDRY’s 20,000mm Waterproof Trousers are a must. Designed with a high, elasticated waist to sit up inside your Waterproof Jacket and fully taped seams, these trousers offer excellent protection against rain and wind. Added side zips make them easy to put on and take off, and silicone knee grips on the unlined option provide improved security in the saddle, solving one of the most common issues riders face when wearing waterproofs.
Winter-Proof Your Feet
Cold, wet feet can quickly ruin even the best ride. A good pair of Waterproof Socks is essential for keeping you comfortable on and off the horse. They are crafted using a three-layer bonded construction that combines a fully waterproof, breathable membrane with a soft, cotton inner and a stretchy, nylon blend outer for comfort and durability. These socks keep your feet warm and dry through long, wet days on the yard, so you can focus on your ride instead of the weather.
