Coat for the winter

[zoesophie]

Can anyone recommend a REALLY warm coat for the winter? Ive got a Mountain Horse Something (

cant remember its proper name) but I think Im gonna need something a bit warmer this year if it gets as cold as they think it will.

I really feel the cold and was cold last year with a few layers under my MH coat.

Id like something that covers my bum (it has a rather large surface area so looses heat fast

)

Answers on a postcard....or just reply to this post....

Thanks.

i've got the big fleece-lined bum-length musto, and am not dreading winter any more! that plus a ski-snuggler to protect my neck, and a wooly fleece-lined beanie, and i'm happy.

I also like the fleece-lined bum length musto jackets, also have one of their bum length down filled ones and that is superb but almost too hot to ride in.

the quilted musto (changed the name of it since I bought mine, but this is very similar)

One of the best items of clothing I purchased last year were some thermal trousers from Aldi at £9.99 a pair! They only did them in black , they were quilted on the inside and very snug, had zip of bits at the bottom that included an elasticated band (like a cuff) so you could wear them and they stayed snug over your boots or you could unzip this bit and have the bottoms like normal trousers. I would wear them before I rode and then put them back on afterwards, they were not so good for riding in but wearing them before and afterwards certainly helped keep my bum and thighs warm.

<font color="peru">I've got a big brown "duffle" coat as I call them, by Eurostar I think. Cost about £80 from hoys a few years ago, and worth every penny - I've never been so snug! And the back's extended to cover the rear end

Will try and find a link somewhere for you.

Was in Aldi earlier today and they had the said trousers in. This years they appear to have some different colours too.
