Summer Shirts

[JMRider]

Hi everyone!

As we are heading into warmer days, I seem to be packing away long sleeved t-shirts and winter jodhpurs...

I have one "DUBLIN GLENCOE SHORT SLEEVE PERFORMANCE TOP" which keeps me very cool (and no sweat marks ? I know TMI).

However, this was a few years back and I am now struggling to find similar tops.

So what is your favourite technical top for the summer which keeps you cool/what shirt could you advise me to get next?

Many thanks!

Surely someone has a Idea to keep cool for summer?! ?

I find the noble outfitters long sleeved 'Ashley' riding tops are actually really cool even when it's hot. In fact am cooler in them than bare arms and they have cool vented panels under arms

I wear the lemeix base layer in summer, mainly to stop me having super tanned arms and the rest of me being bright white! Nice and cool though. Also it matches my blue theme nicely haha

I have long sleeved running tops from Mountain Warehouse. Cool in summer, warm in winter, and very cheap

We only have about 2 weeks a year when you can go without a coat as where I am seems to have its own climate. However I find an old fashioned aertex type polo shirt works well for everyday use. Fairly loose for air flow. They keep the sun off your neck and shoulders well.

If you want technical then hiking brands are cheaper than horsey ones. I have a few but the Paramo ones are my favourites for summer. I buy from their seconds store on ebay to keep it cheap. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202652035924

They do various colours and styles, including long sleeved and zip neck.

Ariat or Noble Equestrian are my favourite technical tops - both are comfy and wash well.

Ariat sunstopper tops are nice and cool

Another vote for Noble Outfitters or Ariat.

I also double up my gym tops as horse riding tops - the technical materialwicks away sweat. Sports Direct or similiar shops always have a lot of choice

My favourite last summer was a Dublin one, I think it was the pavo short sleeve tech top, because it had a mesh panel down the spine.

Aztec diamond wash really well and you can buy matching for your horse too

Running t-shirts from decathlon. Much cheaper than the equestrian equivalent. I use their running tights as summer riding tights as well, Half the price and no inside seam

Noble outfitters tops are great, I got some recently in their sale, good discount!

Dublin ones are very good, cheaper than other brands but still good quality.

I really like the LeMieux polo tops in the summer as they're lightweight and really comfortable.
