Hot weather dressage outfits

[sheep]

Here it is against the window so you can see how lightweight the fabric is.

then with my arm in it - it isn’t see through!

on the hanger - looks a bit lighter here than in real life, I’d say the arm photo is the best indication of the colour. They also come in a dark green and a burgundy (it’s gorgeous)
When on the horse!

I have a Pikeur Paulin. It’s not as light as the one Sheep has, but it is bearable to wear (like others, I warm up in jacket as can’t put on before entering the ring). It’s also kind to my curvy, top heavy, body shape…

It is Animo. Me either (I wish! My friends are great but not always available!), I always warm up with my jacket on even when it’s baking. I can ignore being a bit sticky but there’s no worse feeling than trying to wriggle your sweaty self into dry clothing!

It is lovely but I doubt I can squish myself into Animo. I really need to diet ?

I know what you mean about putting an extra layer on when you are hot and sticky. If you are wearing tweed in August it is preferable to passing out with heat stroke though ? that's why I need a thin jacket!

Wow that is amazing! Does a light coloured shirt show through? How is the fit/sizing? How tall are you?

Also I am really tempted by a green jacket ?

I wear a light grey le mieux shirt thing underneath and so far it doesn’t seem to be indecent or show through it! OH has one too and again wears with a white shirt and it is fine. I am not very tall, about 5ft2 and a size 14 but quite busty so I sized up. The zip plus buttons is handy, no gaping and the fabric is quite stretchy.

I don't put a shirt on under the jacket when it's hot , just one of those stock bibs and my bra.

I've had my eye on these for ages so really pleased to have an IRL review I am also always on my own at shows so have to make a decision jacket or no jacket and stick to it... that looks really smart on. I had been considering the tails. Though doesn't look like we're in danger of going to a show before it cools down again

There’s a crop from a selfie with horse lol so you can see it isn’t see through!

 

[Kat]

That is really good, I will have to take a look at the sizing

 

[DressageCob]

My friend has that Horsewear one too. It's really smart, not at all see through and a nice fit. I've been eyeing them up myself too ?
