The event season is just around the corner, and for riders, preparation is everything. From early-morning course walks to jumping cross-country, having reliable waterproof riding gear makes a huge difference to your performance. Using advanced waterproof and water-repellent materials, breathable fabrics, and rider-led innovation, each EQUIDRY garment delivers reliable protection, comfort, and freedom of movement in all riding conditions.
Here are four eventing essentials to consider as you prepare your outfit for the season ahead.
1) Waterproof Base Layers
Designed for the cross-country phase of eventing, our Water-Repellent Base Layers are made from premium four-way stretch fabric for unrestricted comfort in the saddle. Offering protection from light rain and spray, they’re perfect for early course walks, warm-ups, and keeping you dry while charging through water complexes. Breathable panels and underarm ventilation help regulate temperature while riding, and built-in UV40+ protection supports long days in the sun, so you’re covered no matter the weather.
2) Waterproof Breeches
High-quality competition riding breeches are a key part of any eventing competition outfit. EQUIDRY’s Waterproof Riding Breeches are built for the demands of every phase in eventing, combining a 5,000mm waterproof rating and four-way stretch fabric with a full silicone seat to give riders the grip, flexibility and security needed for dressage and jumping across varied terrain. The streamlined, flattering fit allows complete freedom of movement in the saddle, helping riders stay balanced, focused, and confident when performance matters most.
3) Waterproof Socks
Have you ever had to walk the distance between fences on a wet, muddy course or through a water complex with holes in your wellies? That’s where EQUIDRY’s Waterproof Riding Socks save the day. Their three-layer bonded construction combines a completely waterproof, breathable membrane with a durable, stretch nylon blend outer and a stretch cotton inner, letting perspiration escape to prevent clammy, cold feet. Their four-way stretch, along with their augmented toe and heel, offers exceptional support and stability around the foot for high levels of comfort under riding boots and wellies.
4) Waterproof Riding Coats
A high-quality waterproof equestrian coat is one of the most important pieces of clothing you can own for eventing, especially when you’re doing early starts and long days in unpredictable weather. It’s important to invest in a smart, well-fitted waterproof coat or jacket that keeps you dry and comfortable without compromising your competition look.
The Iris Warm Waterproof Jacket is ideal for riders who want a lightweight, 20,000mm waterproof, and windproof layer that is stylish yet practical on competition days. For those who prefer extra coverage, the Bronte Long Waterproof Coat offers full-length 20,000mm protection with a smart, sleek appearance, making it a great choice for staying dry while still looking polished.
Alternatively, the Evolution Oversized Coat is perfect for staying warm and dry while walking the course, waiting between phases or supporting from the sidelines, thanks to its 20,000mm waterproof outer and various lining types to suit your preference. The oversized fit also allows room for a body protector underneath, which is great for when you’re waiting to start your round in wet weather.
Preparing for the Season Ahead
Whether you’re just starting out or you’re an experienced rider, eventing is a sport that demands preparation, adaptability, and focus. Having a competition outfit that works with you, and not against you, helps to keep you concentrated on the ride and not on what you’re wearing. With an extensive range of riding clothes for women, men and children, EQUIDRY has the perfect eventing outfit for every equestrian.
