Hi all,

My birthday coming up & I have been looking at the Equidry with the 2 thermal rating (way too hot in the 3) or the reincoat lite.

Does anyone have any reviews on the 2 & which is best to spend my birthday pennies on 🥳
Thank you.
 
I’ve just bought the equidry 2 thermal rating.
Havent had a chance to use it yet but I did try a reincoat lite on in Naylors. I just thought that I might get a bit clammy in the reincoat (as I tend to do with those type of waterproofs) but thinking I will just wear a t-shirt/baselayer under the equicoat as I’ll be too warm in anything else.

The two you’re looking at are not equal in terms of warmth. I have two Equidrys: the thermal rating 2 and the latest Equimac. I can only comfortably wear the warm one when it’s under 10C.It has stood up to heavy rain well, though. I’ve only worn the mac once since I bought it, and I can already tell I’ll get a lot more use out of it because it’s considerably cooler. There’s plenty of room to layer up underneath it, should you need to. If I hadn’t bought the warm one first (the earlier version of the mac didn’t have such a high waterproof rating, I don’t think), I probably wouldn’t have two as the mac would be enough for me.

thank you for this - I had a regatta version of the really warm one last winter which was great around the yard when it was freezing & raining. But was way too hot when doing any work like mucking out etc.

I think I’ll go the the equidry lite or the reincoat lite then
Just need to figure out which one is best between those 2 🤷🏻‍♀️

No worries! Just one thing, if you do go for an Equidry, make sure it's the Equimac, as the one with 'lite' in the name is actually the mid-rating one with the light fleece lining (the Equimac is mesh lined).
 
I have two Equicoat/Reincoats and love them (one winter fleece lined & their lite version). I preferred them to the Equidry as they have a drawstring waist so it looks a little less dry robe like, although I still wouldn't call them flattering. But when I've stayed dry on 4 hour hacks or poo picking in wind and rain I don't care how they look!

If I was to buy only one, I'd go with the lite version I think and layer up for winter.

The latest Equidrys also have a drawstring waist (both of mine do). They've updated the designs quite a bit since the original ones. My Equimac has a much better hood than my Evolution Lite (thermal one) too, though I think the hoods on the Equicoats/Reincoats are still bigger.
 
Any updates post autumn use??

Thinking equidry evolution lite (thinner fleece lining) or the Reincoat Pro. My daughter has the same equidry in kids version and it does seem good…but hearing good things about the reincoat and similar costs now! For riding and general yard use.

Edited…has anyone seen these in the flesh, they look smart https://hestt.co.uk/product/hestt-eco-ultra-robe?#reviews
 
I have the reincoat lite and it’s been perfect in this fairly mild but wet weather. I’m tempted by the warmer one but I’ve got a weetherbeeta Kyla that is brilliant in the cold.
 
Anyone have any other comparisons on this? I get so hot mucking out in any sort of warm coat want a coat I can layer up underneath and ride in if necessary! I do quite like the look of this but read they come up very small? I orginally wanted a thicker longer jacket but as I get so warm I'd rather a thinner one I can add layers too I think!

I normally wear either a size 12 or 14 coat to fit over my body protector, and the medium Reincoat Air fits fine, but without too much room to spare. I'd say it's closer to a 12 than a 14.
 
My zip broke on the equidry, you can sent it off plus an extortionate dry cleaning fee for fixing, come with big label upon purchase to be "careful" with zip. I was so careful and teeth fell out. otherwise a fab coat, going to try a reincoat see if hold up better... Heavy weight equidry far too warm to do jobs in, lighterweight one better.
 
I agree the raincoat is on the smaller side. Mine is fine but I’ll not be putting big layers underneath.
I’m not sure I’ve worn it in serious rain yet but will be gutted if it’s not waterproof
Just bought a net lined Equidry (long) pleased with that but again it’s been dry since I bought it.
