Need a new riding coat - suggestions?

[MileAMinute]

As per title, really. Was looking at the Mark Tood Blousons, they look comfy. Dying to have the Joules Mary King coat, but it's £125! Only gonna get covered in mud and God knows what else...

Has anyone got suggestions? My circulation is awful so need something that will keep me warm, yet not too in my face so I can actually move. Budget of £100 max (Christmas present to myself!)
Got a Bronte one atm and I feel like a Michelin man!

Love love love my musto - gets regularly covered in alot of yard yuck and washes up brand new (over and over again!). Nicely shaped so you don't look 10 sizes bigger, but cut so that you can get a jumper and gillet under too for cosyness!

I have several Musto jackets and rate them all very highly. The classic Snugs jacket is great as a general purpose jacket and the Paddock is a slightly warmer one but probably a more flattering cut!

Mark Todd Blousons look nice but I wouldn't think they're very warm when I've looked at them.

Agree that Mustos are generally good.

I have a Dublin, it's nicely warm but a little bulky.

Must admit that for warmth I would generally avoid bluson jackets - I always find that the elastic pulls all my layers out leaving a horrible cold gap!
