Those who wear body protectors

[Lippyx]

Those of you who wear body protectors when riding day to day. What do you wear when its raining?
I wear mine, but get hot when having lessons, so I can't just wear my normal waterproof blouson jacket.

Do you have a non-filled water proof top you wear just to keep dry? If so what is it?

No answer I'm afraid. I do have a thin, breathable jacket that I wear over the top for hacking but anything gets hot when you're schooling. The only helpful answer is to say that you won't be too hot soon, winter is coming!

Don't often ride in the rain tbh. If it is raining then I just have a t-shirt under my body protector and a waterproof over the top. It is just a walking jacket. You could use any no-fill jacket. I wouldn't buy a horsey one, it will just cost loads more! Pop along to an outdoors shop like millets and you will be able to get something around £20 -£30 that does the job nicely. I would go a size up though as it can be a bit restricting with a bp underneath.

Thin tee-shirt/top. BP. Thin High Viz or waterproof on top (quite baggy so not restrictive and the air moves round ).

Either that or I wear my Mountain Horse bodyguard jacket. Waterproof. Windproof. Fits in all the right places. Have fallen off when wearing it and not a mark or bruise on me . Fell on my side/back from a fast canter. It was the fall where I got a bleed on the brain, so a reasonably hard hit.
