vittoria-competition-jacket.jpg

Went to the RDS on Wednesday and popped into the Animo stand! First time I;d ever felt the quality of them - Wow! I've been promised a nice jacket as my current one has broken after only 5 wears (after me spending 150pound on it!) as a -BIG- congrats for placing in my first grand prix! But 500 quid is alot to spend on a jacket! But Prestaties seem a bit more reasonable!

As I can't try\feel it before I buy, I have come to hear everyones opinions on their
1) Quality (do they feel like animo?)
2) Sizing (generous or small?)
3) Shape (are they flattering? In what way?)
4)Are they worth it?

Does anyone know, if I bought it and then it didnt fit, could I send it back?

Also, if you have a Prestaties Vittoria please post a picture, as it's very hard to find pictures of them on!
Thanks so much guys!
 
The quality of animo is pretty shoddy...... Holes in it after 6 mths light wear and careful storage.

They might feel nice but pull back the cuffs and check the stitching. Look under the collars.

Sarm Hippique are beautiful quality and cut, and do all the pretty colours etc of animo.
 
I have the Prestatie Vittoria above. I love it, I've had it a year competing at least once a week and it still looks as new. I always have comments on it, it's really flattering and it's something a bit different to the staple animo that everyone has.

Not sure if these photos will work, they aren't great but they are the only non-professional ones I have to post.

Llanali - Really? Wow I thought they would be of amazing quality! Hope you sent back that jacket and got a full refund! Looked at the Sarm Hippique but (it might just be their models and stock photos) but I didn't particularly like them, thanks for the suggestion though! :)
Montanna- Thanks so much for posting them pictures :) gosh I love that jacket! Is the softshell as soft as the Animo jackets?
Lyndsayberesford - Not much of a fan of them, thanks for sugggestion :)
 
Yes, it has really subtle slits on the arms, and darts at the side in grey so it doesn't restrict you at all. Looking at the second picture it looks a bit weird where I'm leaning forward and it's folding over the front of the saddle - I look like I have a baby bump!! It's a really lovely jacket, I am really impressed with the quality - it's thicker and stretchier than animo I find.
 
I LOVE animo jackets, and when I had mine I definateky did not have those problems Llaanli had and I haven't actually heard anyone else say that.

I did however sell my animo and now have that exact jacket.

It is lovely, cheaper and thicker than the animo. And does come up small. And yes, you can send back if it doesn't fit!
 
It sounds perfect! Tried ringing the lady from Prestatie yesterday, but no answer, then got my English granny (I live in Ireland) to ring her, she's in Holland atm and back Monday, when we've to ring her again to hopefully get material samples sent out. I might have the jacket by the end of the week, so absolutely can't wait! Thanks ladies for all your help ♥
