I’m hacking out in my hiviz Pink Lite before work. And loving it. I’m wearing a tee shirt, and bodyprotector underneath.
it’s been about 5-8 degrees.

I wear mine for morning hacking on exposed ground irrespective of whether raining.

How have you managed not to have rain on your riding day? What’s your secret? ?

I don't ride often at the mo! Struggle to fit it in at all mid week.

Got my Pro Ride Lite with £10 off, and I love it!
I actually ordered both the XS Tall and the Small to compare the fit, and I'm glad that I did. The Small apparently goes up to a size 18, and I'm a chunky 5'10" size 12-14, but the Small fits me better. The XS Tall was just a tad restrictive and shorter in the sleeves, so I'm sending it back - got 30 days to do that. I can move freely enough to do everything apart from ride in the Small without undoing any of the zips.
It's a proper sturdily made workhouse of a jacket. I can do all the mucky jobs in it without getting my clothing underneath it dirty, whilst the jacket itself shakes the muck off and seems to keep itself clean. I'm using it for dog walking etc as well. It's got cold now and this is so cosy to wear, but I've never got sweaty underneath it. OK, it's not the most flattering garment, but it is not as tent like as I had feared.
The fancy unworn long riding jacket that I bought last year which is made by an overhyped equestrian brand which has recently had a self inflicted drubbing on HHO is going on eBay!

I’ve had the light grey/pink since February and today I got the pro ride lite in hi viz as the thicker one is too warm to ride in I found so invested in the thinner one, will try it out tomorrow.

Yes, I have started hacking regularly in my Pro Ride Lite in Pink Hi viz. Is lovely and warm. Mostly using it with thermal riding tights, teeshirt and body protector. I am loving it. Seems very well made. I cant quite bring myself to do chores in light pink, maybe later in the year. I tend to be warmer doing chores than hacking over exposed ground. I also want to sell a similar expensive coat to you that I bought last year (arms are too short).

About 3 weeks in, and I love, love, love my Equidry lite ?.
It's been blimmin wonderful in the -7°c temps we've had for the last week or more. I layer up underneath it, and I'm clean, warm and dry underneath it. I can't imagine needing the full non lite version.
This is my typical flexible layering underneath it for cold weather. Helly Hansen lifa long sleeve base layer, polo shirt, Buff snood, retro 90s Musto fleece and Musto gilet.
It continues to shrug off the dirt. It's a real proper workhorse.
I've been fully refunded for the XSTall that I sent back, and the fancy other brand of jacket that I had is currently winging its way to its new home.

Echo most of this. I love my pink lite. Not sure it is as dirt resistant as a darker one. But it’s fabulously designed for riding in wind and rain.
I’ve sold my more expensive Equetech long coat.

I was extremely thankful for mine today as it’s tipping it down again. Just got home after a very wet evening and completely dry underneath the jacket.
During the freezing weather I wore my padded jacket underneath and rode out in it. It kept my legs nice and warm - see pic in photo thread in the clubhouse.
