well, the snow has officially got to me and after shivering all day long i’ve caved and bought an equidry…i’ve officially been influenced🤣

anyone else have one and love it? translation: please tell me it’s not a waste of money lmao

according to my mum, “it’s just a cagoule”…yes but this one says equidry on the back!😂
 
I have worn Mine all day today and it has kept me dry in sideways snow. I had to go up the fields to find a head collar and came back as dry as I went out. I love it.
 
I love mine! I've got the standard one and it is so warm,its fantastic. It's also beautifully waterproof and fab to ride in. You won't regret it.
 
I've been wearing mine these last few days too. I think it's impossible to get cold when wearing one. I just wish mine was a little less voluminous - I feel like it's a struggle to do anything active in it. I got two sizes too small but it still swamps me.
 
Love mine, and I lived in it today, not just doing the horses in a blizzard but also stomping round Sainsbury’s twice in it. Weather was vile so I didn't even bother to change into a non horsey coat to shop.

It keeps my horsey clothes underneath it so much cleaner, too. The mud and the hay is repelled.
 
I was given one of these at christmas. I sent it back because it was absolutely huge on me (oh stood in front of me and we could do it up with both of us in it!) and I couldn't imagine how I would be able to work in one. How do you get things done in them?
 
I’ve had mine for over a year now and it’s the best thing I ever bought, I have the normal one plus the Lite one in hi viz so I can wear them a bit longer than winter. It’s a good investment

You buy one in the smaller size , im a size 16 but have an xs so it fits nicely without looking like a tent 😂
 
Complete life changer, I have worn it day in day out , warm . Comfy to ride in , covers everything and remained dry even in the worst of the winter
 
I was given the Lite Equidry for Christmas and I have worn it every day since. It is brilliant for keeping completely dry and for protecting non-horsey clothes when just ‘nipping’ out to do something horsey. Even in the slightly warmer weather we’ve had it hasn’t got sweaty. And obviously brilliant in today’s horrific weather. Great for riding in too, keeps your legs warm and saddle dry in the rain. Definitely worth the £. I figured the lite was a better investment as on very cold days you can layer up underneath. I’m stewarding a dressage ring at Oasby on Sunday so it will get fully tested then!
 
I got too large a one thinking I'd need it for over my jumper collection. It's the hi Viz one and I've bee wearing it stewarding. Nobody can miss me, though I look a bit like a hi Viz pillar box. It's warm though, and rather heavy. Still haven't ridden in it. Every time the weather looks suitable I go in the indoor instead.

I love mine I’ve got the lite version but it’s roomy enough to wear over my padded jacket when it’s very cold. If you follow the sizing guidance on the website you should get the right size. You can go down a size again if you want it less roomy. I’m 5ft 6 and regular length is definitely long enough.

I'm just looking at the sizing on their website and I don't think the XXS comes in the long, properly known as 'tall' length. I think I must have got XS actually, not XXS. Probably explains why it's so huge, although it is the size recommended for my clothes size and height.

I read this thread title as “equine purchase to raise my spirits” and I’m not sorry for being disappointed 🤣

in my defence, i did only buy lily a month ago!😂 my bank account can handle the equidry but i think another pony would tip it over the edge ahaha, but at least i’d be warm enough for 2 in winter now?!
 
thankyou everyone!! feeling much more reassured now🤣 i got the xxs, im 5”2 and a size 6/8, the smallest size they suggest for me is xs but i looked at their gallery where people send in what size they are/what size they bought and the xs would definitely swamp me lol
 
I am very tempted by the no fill Equimac version for the warmer weather.

I was plenty warm enough this morning in my S lite in the snow with layers underneath. Minus the gloves (and the JRT), this is how I was attired in Sainsbury’s yesterday, walking boots, baseball cap and all 🤣. It's not too tent like.
